Comparative Cultural Analysis (Arts and Culture)

The programme is dedicated to critical examination of a wide variety of cultural phenomena from an explicitly theoretical and interdisciplinary perspective. It investigates the many possible dialogues between cultural phenomena and critical theory, while focusing on the socio-political significance of theoretical and interdisciplinairy study.
