Culture and Politics. New forms of engagement in the Mediterranean area (2000-2022)
Each lesson presents this structure: - A theoretical introduction, presentation of models and conceptual grids useful in addressing the theme of the lesson - In-depth presentation of a first case study (related to one of the three cultural areas the project focuses on-France, Italy, Spain) - In-depth presentation of a second case study (related to a different area than the previous example) - Questions/answers with students Students will be provided well in advance with all the lecture materials they need to work on to better understand the week's lesson. They will be asked to read and prepare some questions to animate the dialogue and discussion part between trainers and students. The work between lessons is important because it allows students to improve their study autonomy, assimilation of knowledge and actively contribute (through the preparation of questions) to the development of the lesson. The spirit of BIP aims to break the pattern of frontal teaching. By focusing on the excellence of the candidates, it will be possible to create spaces for seminar discussions and in-depth Study of contemporary cultural representations (Italian, French, Spanish) that have been created in an attempt to restore art to a public and political role.

Physical Part Description
One week of laboratory sessions that will serve the students to deepen their knowledge of the subject, interact with each other, work in groups, and produce and improve the final paper on which they will be evaluated. This part of the project will take place physically in Aix-en-Provence.
Collaboration among the CIVIS partners intervenes at all times: the theme of the BIP, the way it will be carried out, the maximum number of participants and the evaluation criteria to be adopted were decided together.
Four project members (Baghetti, Bartoli, Becerra, Sinopoli) will be present at all stages of the project (online lectures and physical meetings), while other colleagues will intervene remotely by animating the lectures.
