The master's degree in Construction and Representation of Cultural Identity enables students to critically analyse processes of constructing identities and the dynamics of multicultural processes. This is a need that is present in societies that are increasingly multicultural and complex, in which the coexistence of languages and cultures shapes the construction of plural identities. This master's degree offers advanced training in the definition and analysis of processes involved in the cultural construction of ideas, in particular the notion of identity, and in the representations of these ideas in literature, cinema, theatre and other media. It also addresses issues of receptions, translation and cultural management in the context of multicultural societies in constant transformation that make up today's world. It offers two specializations: in Literature, Gender and Identities, and Literature and Interculturality. ​​​​​​​The objective of this master's degree is to provide quality education in the field of literary analysis that matches the cultural realities of the modern world, marked by increasing contact and exchange between cultures in an overarching process of globalization. The goal is for students to develop cultural and text analysis skills and the ability to evaluate the phenomena of intercultural reception, which are essential for the critical appraisal of changing, plural realities.
