| Course content and structure |

The second semester of Spanish studies builds on the knowledge
acquired during the first semester, with a particular focus on
culture and communication in Spain and Spanish America. Course
topics include: culture in its national, regional and local
expressions, the culture ‘industry’, and the role played by ICTs
and the information society in cultural and political modernisation
processes and governance.
The course builds on the themes presented in the first semester
Globalisation Studies course. The themes are presented in
conjunction with perspectives and concepts rooted in the specific
language area, so that students develop an understanding of
different theoretical traditions, and enhance their nationally
specific knowledge as well as their cultural
sensitivity
