This course has no prerequisites. Since we this is a Humanities Degree, the subject has both a philosophical and historical approach. Also, as long as time constraints allow us to do so, it will be interdisciplinary.
Quite often, the term culture is undefined and includes both our own cultural manifestations and others that are less defined. These need to be explained through other areas of knowledge because of their own character. Without trying to be deeply thorough, we will attempt to redefine their presence from a historical and philosophical point of view. We will as well redefine the process by which the individual goes through in order to transform its pure biological condition into a specifically cultural matter.
The starting point will be to examine the reflections of some thinkers who have analyzed what is, what we call and under which conditions this manifestation occurs. We will also address the relationship we maintain with it so that we can establish this problem within its current limits.
The first bloc of this course will develop in the form of lectures by the professor.
The second bloc of the programme will be built by the students from the proposals explained below. These will be in the form of written tasks and oral presentations. In this second part, each proposal will be a keynote speech and will be assessed as such. All questions and details will be explained at the beginning of the academic year.
Content
3. A radical Illustration? Kant, Rousseau, Sade.
4 Construction and critique of the main European culture of the XIX-XX centuries.
( Hegel, Marx and Nietzche)
5. Power, true and performativity: from Foucault to Butler.
Although in the classes the subjects are treated in a transversal way and a coherent learning of the interrelation between culture and philosophy is promoted, the activities are organized as sessions with their own structure, always looking for the dialogue with the students.
The training activities will be of three types:
A. Directed.
B. Supervised (They should be adapted, if necessary, in the most appropriate percentage, to virtual teaching, through the various existing systems (teams, narrated powerpoints, videos, podcasts ... etc)
C. Autonomous
1 Lectures taught by the professor expect maximum class participation..In the event that there is a non-presential or semi-presential environment, the appropriate measures will be taken so that the student achieves all her learning results.
2 Oral presentations will focus on providing maximum critical and constructive interaction with the subject as a whole.

Evaluation
The first bloc will be assessed as follows:
A. Two written assessments in class (4/10 points) 20% the first, of the final grade; 20% the second, of the final grade.
1. First assessment will be towards the first two themes.
2. Second assessment will be finished the following three.
The voluntary review of the questions will begin on the first school day after the publication of the notes in the CV. By means of a parallel note, hours and days of service will be indicated.
The second bloc will be assessed based on the following criteria:
A. 4 points for the team work: 2 (writing) - 20% of the final grade- + 2 (oral presentation) - 20% of the final grade. It must be submitted by the penultimate week leeson. Oral defense last week of the course. If the oral defense cannot be carried out due to the absence of attendance, the written part will be exclusively valued (40% of the final grade)
B. 2 (0.5x4) points - 20% of the final grade: questions proposed and developed in class or text comments and group discussions via forum. The voluntary review of the questions will begin on the first school day after the publication of the notes in the CV. By means of a parallel note, hours and days of service will be indicated.
To pass the subject, you must pass both blocs. Otherwise, you will have to do a retake assessment.
This retake assessment will consist of a general test on the whole course studied in class. To be able to take this exam, you must have previously been assessed in different activities which will be the equivalent of a minimum of 2/3 of the final grade. The minimum compulsory grade must be 3.5.
The written task will only be accepted if the tutoring sessions have previously taken place with the professor.
Any student who has not submitted at least 30% of assessment evidence (work submitted or written tasks) will be considered as “non-gradable”.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will be given a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and
class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
