    Javier Moscoso
    Javier Moscoso
    Seminary lecturer

    Research Professor at the CSIC, member of the European Academy of Sciences and visiting professor at the universities of Harvard, Chicago, Cambridge and Paris I, among others. Expert in the cultural history of emotions and the senses.

    The aim is to trace the fundamental lines of what has been the cultural history of the body. From the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, the human body has been the subject of numerous studies that have sought to understand it as a cultural object, as well as the symbolic epicentre of human relations. From gait to emotional control or from skin decoration to hairstyle, history, anthropology, but also philosophy, sociology and other social sciences have contributed to explore supra-biological elements of the body: those that cannot be explained by biological evolution alone.

    In this seminar we will focus on two aspects of body studies: those related to the history of sexuality on the one hand, and the history of sport on the other. In both cases, we will emphasise the theatricalisation or dramatisation elements of both sets of behaviours, from the ways of kissing to the ways of loving each other, or from the passion for walking long distances to the no less problematic, and historically contingent, hobby of mountain climbing.

    "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".

    "We want to update the humanities to face the crucial dilemmas of our time. The choice of the Anthropocene as a thematic focus is not only pertinent, but urgent, and the approach proposed by Professor Arias Maldonado (which interweaves political philosophy, history of ideas, science and technology studies, and political ecology) provides students with an exceptionally rich and multidisciplinary framework for analysis".

    Fernando Broncano

    "This seminar represents a first-class contribution to the training of our students. It has equipped them with sophisticated conceptual tools to understand and confront the contemporary ecological crisis from a renewed, critical and committed humanistic perspective. It thus fulfils in an outstanding way the mission of "updating humanism" that gives our Master's its name".
