At the end of the course, students will have acquired critical analysis skills with regard to one of the aesthetic, political, and social issues that have characterized Western societies and continue to shape current events. Through the reading of a critical bibliography on racism and the viewing of online content, with particular attention to filmography, they will acquire some fundamental tools for further study of the topic discussed. Through discussion and the reports they will be required to write, they will acquire the methodological tools for aesthetic research applied to both the past and the present.

The course will take the form of a reading and viewing workshop: students will discuss the texts on the program, as well as films and documentaries on the subject, with the instructor and their peers. The teacher will give some lectures providing a historical and philosophical introduction to the themes of racism, colonialism, and coloniality, as well as an introduction to the authors whose texts will be read.
Assessment will be ongoing throughout the course, through discussions and reports by students. At the end of the course, there will be a final assessment consisting of an interview with the instructor, who will evaluate students' ability to critically interpret the various topics covered. Grades will be expressed on a scale of 30.
How have racist and colonial narratives contributed in the past and continue to contribute in the present to constructing and determining our perception of spatiality, different subjectivities, and interpersonal relationships? The module will address these questions by referring to texts and authors from different disciplines. In addition to philosophical texts that offer reflections on the problem of racism and coloniality, historical and literary texts, films, and documentaries will be analyzed through collective research, keeping in mind the aesthetic and political implications of these issues.
All students are required to regularly consult the e-learning area of the course and download the materials indicated. Erasmus students and students with PDP or PEI are invited to contact the teacher at the beginning of the courses. The program is valid for both attending and non-attending students.
