A blended intensive programme offered by the University of the Balearic Islands’ British and Comparative Cultural Studies Research Group (BRICCS)
3 ECTS (online module, Spring; in-person summer school, July)
Organised by: José Igor Prieto-Arranz, Fruela Fernández Iglesias and Rubén Jarazo-Álvarez (University of the Balearic Islands).
The BIP starts with an online module which, apart from a welcome session in which the BIP’s most important guidelines will be explained to all participants, is designed to introduce the BIP’s most important topics, including (1) the rise of a new cultural sensibility accounting for the re-emergence of the politics of place, renewed forms of nationalism, the shifts of political ideologies (the rise of the far right and the emergence of anti-establishment movements) and even Islamic fundamentalism; (2) climate change (and how literature and film can help raise awareness); and (3) how social, ethical and ecological commitment can also be found in cultural products other than literature and film (which humanities students are by far best acquainted with).
The online modules will be delivered throughout Spring 2023 and will be complemented with an in-person summer school to be held in Majorca on 3-8 July 2023. This in-person event will involve 20 different sessions structured into six thematic modules.
