Spanish

This course is designed for UCEAP students at the upper elementary (A2) level to improve, consolidate, and expand grammatical knowledge of the Spanish language. Class meetings are supplemented with practical experiences where students visit emblematic locations in Madrid to practice Spanish communication in real time.

The course aims to introduce students to the different areas of study of Human Geography, emphasizing the knowledge and assessment of the elements and factors that explain the activity of man as a modifying agent of the Earth's surface, in its economic, political, social, and cultural dimensions.

This course seeks to synthesize and analyze comparatively and critically the various representations and uses of the body in the history of artistic representations, with particular emphasis on the visual arts, through a series of viewing exercises and classroom presentations, as well as field trips to museums, galleries and other spaces for artistic dissemination. Through group presentations and written works of a critical nature, students will analyze images of corporeality inscribed in the Western tradition, which express a rich and complex fabric of historical circumstances, social discourses and conceptions of the body, ranging from anatomical and anthropological to considerations on modern and contemporary aesthetic categories. It is expected to critically reflect on this disciplinary intersection in presentations and texts of great methodological and conceptual rigor.

Field Work III is a practical course, where students will be faced with a scientific problem, which must be determined through systematic and rigorous information gathering in the field and the subsequent analysis of this information. In this course, students must be able to face specific problems, generate a proposal for collecting primary source information, execute what was planned and then process the information obtained by contrasting it with secondary background information, providing an answer to a scientific question.

In this theoretical and practical course, students will analyze the development of the human rights of women and sexual dissidence, focusing on the actors who have made said development possible and the mechanisms through which they have been disseminated. The above is analyzed through lectures, individual analysis of texts and group development of research, which contributes to the development of scientific and empirical knowledge about international political processes in the students.

In this course, students will learn about the manifestos of selected dramatic authors in order to understand the relationship between the author's intentionality and his work, and generate reflection on their own creative inquiries.

The course proposes a critical reflection on the relationships between technique and technology through cultural milestones such as myth, theater, writing, perspective, photography, museums, cinema, video games and all digital technology. In this way, this course aims to establish an interdisciplinary relationship between the areas of knowledge of science (technique and technology), arts and philosophy. Readings and discussions will be held on the ways in which technique, with the domain of the arts and their works, shapes and produces decisive changes in the political, ethical and aesthetic experiences and aspirations of human collectives.
