At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. This unit of study includes a wide range of learning objectives. This year’s edition will concentrate on the origins and development, in the pre-modern era, of the social and cultural characteristics of what can be called “Popular China”, their contrasts and interactions with elitist culture, and their parallels and prolongations in the modern world. In this way, students are invited to reflect upon the ways in which cultural expression emerges in differing historical and social contexts. By means of a methodical approach to all of these aspects, successful students will have the opportunity to strengthen their critical thinking skills, and their ability to express the results of this in correct English, in both written and oral assignments.
