Module LXS-2024:
History of Galicia

History of Galicia 2022-23
LXS-2024
2022-23
School Of Arts, Culture And Language
Module - Semester 2
20 credits
Module Organiser: Xoan Lorenzo
Overview

During this course, you will be introduced to the history of Galicia, from its pre-history through to the creation of the autonomous community that it is today. While attention is paid to Galicia’s pre-history (in connection with the concept of Celtic roots and its evolution and manipulation for Galicia’s historical identity) and the Middle Ages, the module will concentrate largely on the history of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries with particular focus on the emergence of the idea of nationhood, political activism, and cultural production in Galicia. Key historical texts will be analysed for each period covered.
