The Civil War is the most important episode in our recent history; it is one of the subjects that has generated the most books worldwide; and it is part of international debates on violence and political radicalisation in the first half of the 20th century between liberal democracies, fascisms and communisms. Given the context of national political polarisation, the international rise of the far right and current international tensions, it is once again very present in all debates. The 90th anniversary of the war is a highly significant commemoration; our university has some of the most outstanding specialists; and organising this course will make it possible to offer assessments and contributions to the academic, political and social debate of the moment, positioning UC3M among the institutions that promote these cultural activities. The course will connect academic analysis with critical reflection on the legacy of the Civil War in our society. In a context of intensifying debates of this kind and partisan distortion of the past on social media or by political actors, the course provides tools for rigorous analysis and invites joint reflection on the present and on the search for political legitimisation through the past. The course will place the Civil War and the debates around it in a global context, and will reflect on often overlooked realities such as its international dimension or the armed participation of the milicianas, highlighting women\u2019s struggle for emancipation. Likewise, from a multidisciplinary approach, the course proposes reflection based on historiographical analyses, while also engaging with the various artistic, literary and cinematic perspectives on the subject. This will help students develop analytical and critical skills in key areas such as audiovisual communication, media discourse and cultural representations, and provide them with tools and critical capacity to create new digital, audiovisual or literary content. <\/p>\n

At the end of the course, students will be able to realise that the most emblematic value of the classical world is not the elitist nature of its education or a particular monumental aesthetic (to cite two typical categories of 19th-century interpretation), but rather its ability to address every human problem, transforming it into a source of personal and collective learning that is fruitful and always enriching. From this experience\u2014capable of turning the intimate drama of existence into a rational subject (thus enabling the birth of philosophy and Attic tragedy), or the difficulties of communal life into political reflection, or the imitation of nature into art and technique\u2014emerges that freedom of spirit that permeates all humanisms throughout history and remains one of the foremost ideals of today\u2019s world. <\/p>\n
Moreover, the classical tradition is much closer to the paradigms of digital culture than one might imagine: if \u201cdigital humanities\u201d are, in a sense, a way of reimagining the traditional humanities, rethinking human development in relation to history and culture through new possibilities for creating and disseminating knowledge, it is well known that the legacy of Greco-Roman civilisation has been performing this same task for centuries, renewing itself in every era in line with the needs of societies that return to the study of Antiquity in order to find in it answers about their own time.<\/p>\n
