We will address the complex processes of interaction between constructivism, which considers values and ideas as social constructions in the service of certain power structures, and the theories and practices of the deconstruction of the subject that undo these constructions.
We will cover the period from 1789 to the present, i.e. from the French Revolution to post-modernity, selecting some stellar problems, authors and polemics of construction and deconstruction, such as Tocqueville, Marx, Kojève, Schmitt, Heidegger, Benjamin, Arendt and Sartre. We will also be interested in poets and artists, such as Baudelaire, Pessoa, Kafka and Mann, and the intellectual landscape in general.

"We contribute to society if we educate multilingual and multicultural citizens, capable of transmitting and teaching what they are and what they know through innovative methodologies, with an artistic, creative and critical sense of life".
Fernando Savater
Seminario en Multiculturalismos
"Our aim in this module is to build a solid bridge between the critical thinking of the Enlightenment and the cultural challenges of the 21st century. We do not limit ourselves to a historical study; we invite students to unpack how those ideals of reason, freedom and progress resonate, are questioned and transformed in our current context, marked by globalisation, artificial intelligence and the redefinition of human identity. "

"This programme is born out of the conviction that the humanities are more necessary than ever in an ever-changing world. Our professors are experts in their fields, but they are also passionate about teaching and interdisciplinary dialogue. Together, we work to train professionals who not only understand the world, but also contribute to transforming it from a humanistic perspective".
