Cult. Diplomacy in Port. World

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course explores new perspectives on diplomacy. We will analyze epistemological diversity and intercultural communication to share and build knowledge for coexistence in a diversity of worlds. Our intention is to explore new spaces for interaction and creative performance in order to create partnership and dialogue between different institutions on an international level. Our analysis will focus on the effect of reciprocity on diplomacy between the known and the different. We will use case studies drawn from the diplomatic world to comprehend how the intersection of scientific, artistic, and educational collaborations strengthen and broaden international relationships. Our theoretical tools will include historical figures, political speeches, works of art and the experience and methodology of different disciplines including biology, anthropology, architecture, and ethology.
