A blended intensive programme offered by the University of the Balearic Islands’ British and Comparative Cultural Studies Research Group (BRICCS)
The module “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).”
