Ana Echevarría Arsuaga, Associate Professor of Medieval History (UNED), has organized this course that will be held on June 26 in
Madrid.
Since September 11 and March 11, society has been moved by several terrorist events which have marked an increase in Islamophobia in the contemporary world. The goal of this course will be to demonstrate the historical changes in relations between East and West, Christianity and Islam, from a multidisciplinary, objective viewpoint, until reaching the twenty-first century, in which new technologies have played a basic role in disseminating a set of ideas which promote hatred towards otherness and racist attitudes.
The course, intended for historians, art historians, journalists, sociologists and anthropologists, will study the origins of Islamophobia from the Middle Ages to the modern day, as well as the means which were used to create an image of Islam, with no regard for whether it was true or completely fictitious. Also to be analyzed are how they evolved due to historical conflicts and the appearance of new media forms.
The course will be rounded off with four hours for consulting materials and active participation by students in the online course forum.
