Option in Digital Culture and Ethics [15.0]
The digital has transformed our lives and culture to the extent to which everything takes place nowadays in “digital space,” as our own space, time, and existence are all deeply digitalized. In the “culture of connectivity,” the digital is ubiquitous, we are, one way or another, always online, while technology is no longer just ‘at hand’, but already intimately infiltrating and fusing with our thoughts, our sensations, and even our bodies.
The Digital Culture and Ethics Option offers courses focusing on such profound changes brought about by the digital in all walks of life and academic disciplines alike. It invites the students to reflect critically and creatively on the resulting large-scale evolutions and equips them with the right skills and tools for approaching their subject matters from cutting-edge and presently much needed, genuinely effective and encompassing perspectives.
The topics and practical applications taught in this option also open up the scope of our specialized fields to wider cross-disciplinary viewpoints, thus making us ready to be professionally versatile and successful in a deeply transformed digital world.

Option in Subalternities and Postcolonial Critiques: History, World and Societies [15.0]
This option aims to deepen the study and practice of critical decentring in history. The aim is not only to mobilise epistemological frameworks from other social science disciplines, but also to train in the work of historians who question the past in an inclusive and decentred manner, and who interrogate systems of power and relations of domination and dependence (ethnic, economic, political, cultural, gender, religious, etc.).
