DESCRIPTION
This course focuses on the recent history of Spain, but it does so not only from the perspective of the study of the past, as it aims to go further: through the topics to be discussed, the scope is to reach an understanding of Spanish culture and reality. This way, it constitutes not only an academic subject, but also presents a more flexible and dynamic vision. It offers the required knowledge and skills for students to get a profound, but also critical and analytical understanding of the country in which they are going to live for several months. This comprehension will qualify students to explain the complex implementation of civil, political and social rights in Spanish society, to reflect on the normality and specificities of the history of Spain in the western world context and to acquire a deep and complex vision of the current problems of the Spanish and, therefore, global society.
