Art, Literature and Society (label: Arts and Culture)

The Master in Art, Literature and Society addresses contemporary debates in literature, art, religion, philosophy, and culture. The direction you take depends on your prior studies and your passions. The critique of nationalism in recent German literature? The humanities in academia? Architecture and politics? Fascism and modernism? Darwinian aesthetics? Are we our brain? The role of art in the future of democracy? The key term here is interdisciplinary: you learn to approach debates not as a philosopher, a political scientist or columnist, a journalist, or as a historian, but rather from a broad spectrum of viewpoints in a programme that remains unique in the Netherlands. Graduates of this programme will have gained: * Broad insight into topical issues of national and international importance * Experience engaging in impassioned debates and tackle a range of contemporary controversies * The ability to infuse their academic practice with an element of personality This one-year (English) programme is also offered in Dutch: Master Kunst, Literatuur en Samenleving.
