The study of the past is normally understood as a sequence of dates, events and notable people, but an alternative and fascinating way to understand cultures and societies of previous centuries is by means of the objects produced. That is the main purpose of this course that will journey to Europe in the Middle Ages and will take a number of incredible objects as windows through which we can perceive those societies. Students in this course will interact in group discussions, analyse images, videos and texts, and prepare oral presentations and infographics so as to understand how Europeans in the Middle Ages thought of the world and themselves and how objects are an expression of the cultures that produced them, even to this day.
The modality of the course is virtual asynchronous, that is, completely online, without associated schedule, so you will organize yourself to take it according to your times. See you!
