Course context for academic year 2023-24

The socialization of knowledge is one of the central elements of current research at all levels. Beyond the creation of scientific knowledge, whether basic or applied, the need to establish communication strategies that bring the results of research and the level of science closer to society as a whole has become evident. For this reason, a subject of this type is proposed in which different forms and resources for the dissemination or "popularization" of scientific knowledge will be dealt with. Although the preferred examples to be dealt with will be related to Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the course has transversal pretensions that basically try to raise problems, discussions and strategies valid for any historical period. Therefore, special emphasis will be placed on critical reflection by students on the different ways of perceiving history in areas outside the scientific world and on the ways in which it is projected to society as a whole.
