Descripción del programa

The master's programme in Arts and Culture focuses on culture in the making. Culture can refer to the products of intellectual and artistic creativity, such as scholarly and literary texts or works of art. It also indicates the cultural practices that shape the everyday life of people and is expressed in their individual tastes and forms of association with one another. Finally, culture is at the heart of the processes through which people explicate and contest ethical, aesthetic, and political meanings and values. You will study how cultures change, and how these changes are related to societal problems and debates, as well as to global challenges such as climate change and increasing social inequalities.

The Master's programme Arts and Culture offers three specialisations:

  • Arts and Heritage: Policy, Management, and Education/Kunst en Erfgoed
  • Contemporary Literature and Arts: Cultural Interventions and Social Justice
  • Modern Political Culture: Ideas and Discourses in Context

The Master's programme Arts and Culture focuses on how cultures change. We are interested in how these changes are related to societal problems and debates, as well as to global challenges such as climate change and social inequalities. To understand and practically address these issues and problems you develop a humanities perspective on cultural practices. Drawing on disciplines such as art and literature theory, history, philosophy, and anthropology, you will learn how humanities research is of fundamental importance in dealing with the issues faced by present-day societies. Examples include the ways in which history enables citizens to shape, preserve or challenge their national heritage and culture; how the arts can contribute to critical thinking and action; and how contested present-day political ideas are the result of long and intricate genealogies. The program addresses a broad scope of topics and approaches that not only draws on Western (i.e. European and North American) perspectives but reflect the global character of today’s societal issues and debates.

The Master's programme Arts and Culture has three specialisations. Each in their own way, they seek to demonstrate how the humanities and the qualitative social sciences provide a fundamental perspective for analyzing and understanding the most pressing questions of our own age.
