Location of University of Amsterdam
The one-year Master's programme in Comparative Cultural Analysis is dedicated to the exploration of how globalisation has increased cross and intercultural forms of literature and arts.
What a culture identifies as a dialogue with another culture is a sometimes fruitful and sometimes conflictual but always productive moment that reveals that no -culture" is a self-contained historical or geographical entity. Using interdisciplinary concepts and objects, the course proposes to explore the dialogues between and therefore (self-)redefinition of cultural phenomena, with a special emphasis on issues of mobility and identity construction.
