To introduce the student to the study of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, taking into account socioeconomic and ideological foundations of collective behaviours, as well as historical structures and processes in religious, political and cultural fields. The structure of the social stratification system and the processes that characterize it, seek that students acquire a good knowledge of people’s life in society, for which we will also address the different aspects of culture, within the sphere of the popular, legal, customary culture, etc., and different religious implications at different levels.
It is intended that students acquire critical awareness of the space-time coordinates, either with regard to the evolution of History, or its various implications in the art world.

We try to make the student gets knowledge about the sources of social and cultural history, and about the main lines of historical development of this field, in order to promote skills with the view of working as a professor, working in archives, libraries or museums, in activities related to the documentary, cultural and artistic heritage management, etc., helping to develop a scientific methodology related to Art History.
Using bibliography and tools for searching general and specific bibliographic resources.
Optimally administering working time and organizing available knowledge and information resources.
Working on the logical reasoning ability in discussions and also the ability to work in a group.
Fostering the aspects that value the artistic work from the perspective of its origin, originality and historical context.
The expository and interactive teaching will be face-to-face.
-The theoretical classes will basically consist of lessons taught in the classroom by the teacher for the exposition of the theoretical contents.
-The practical classes in the classroom will allow the acquisition of skills and the development of the knowledge acquired through the personal work of the students and their presentation to the group.
-Regarding the practical seminars, all the student's tasks -studies, papers, readings, exercises, exhibitions ...- will be guided by the teacher and will lead to the completion and presentation of assignments individually or in groups.
-About the individualized tutorials or in a very small group, students will be attended in person to discuss specific questions in relation to their tasks or to try to solve any other difficulty of the student or group of students related to the subject.
-The field practice will consist of a visit to some outstanding institution or monumental building that enjoyed relevance during the Modern Age (Pazo hidalgo, monastery, etc.). The realization of this field practice will depend on the budgetary availability of the Faculty. If this funding exists, the field practice will be compulsory and evaluable within the percentage of the corresponding grade for the interactive practices. If this field practice is not carried out, it will be replaced by another activity.
-As a complement, the students will be able to use the virtual classroom of the subject, where they will find specific explanations on the operation of the course, abundant work materials for the expository and interactive part of the subject, as well as a useful communication channel with The teacher.
Continuous formative assessment combined with final face-to-face exam
50% of the final grade is achieved as follows:
There will be a final face-to-face exam on a date indicated by the official calendar prepared by the faculty secretariat, in which the student must answer questions related to the topics of the program developed in the expository classes, which will compute a value of 50% of the final grade.
In order to pass the subject, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 in said exam. If the student does not reach 4 in said expository part, or also in the interactive part, he / she will fail the subject, regardless of the fact that in specific cases the average exceeds 5 (in these cases the quantitative score of the suspense would be 4.9).
50% of the final grade is achieved as follows:
-5% will be the result of the student's face-to-face interventions in the interactive classes, so that the person who has made the maximum number of interventions will add up to 0.5, and this score will decrease proportionally to the number of interventions.
-The remaining 45% is obtained by the different grades of the student in the tests and activities related to the interactive classes. Any work or activity that has not been delivered will be scored with a zero.
-Only those students who have not taken the exam and none of the activities or tasks of the interactive part will be considered as not presented.
-The teacher will indicate in the classroom the method to evaluate the compulsory reading of the book: LUTZ, H., Reforma y Contrareforma: Europa entre 1520 y 1648, Madrid, 2008.
* Evaluation stages and subsequent calls:
-Students who have obtained in interactive a mean score equal to or greater than 5 will be saved the grade also until the following year -as long as there is no change of teacher-; having only to carry out the examination of the syllabus of the exhibition classes.
-If a student fails the subject but passes the exam (score of 5 or more), the grade for the exam will be kept, also for the following course - always when there is no change of teacher-, without the need to repeat the exam, although having to elaborate the interactive part, independently of the note obtained in it.
-In relation to interactive tasks scored based on oral presentations or unwritten tests, the teacher will indicate what type of specific activity replaces these in the July assessment stage or subsequent calls.
-Students who obtained a class attendance waiver will be evaluated through an exam (50%) and compulsory practical work (50%).
Each hour of expository teaching must be accompanied by a student’s complementary assignment (in the form of readings and assimilation of the topics explained in class) of approximately two hours’ duration.
At the same time, we consider that the student must devote at least four hours of individual work for each interactive teaching hour.
Taking into account the teaching load of the subject and the forecast mentioned above, we consider that each student should devote 150 hours to individual work.
- Students should have a humanistic profile.
- Capacity to read in some foreign language commonly used in science within the sphere of modernist studies.
- This course seeks to increase students’ knowledge in a specific field of Modern History, in which the basics on the big cultural, religious and scientific movements must be known from the previous years. Therefore, students are advised to read the specialized bibliography, with the aim of keeping pace with the lessons and seeing, in real time, the application of different methodologies to sources which, in turn, are diversified. These readings must take into account those magazines specialized in this field.
In order to gain control of text analyses, graphics and tables, special attention must be paid to this kind of contents in the bibliography. It would be advisable to make en effort to gather this kind of material personally in order to examine it and apply theoretical recommendations. Consulting specialized websites, such as that of “Voltaire Foundation” and others linked to centres for the study of culture and which are well accredited, may be a useful contribution.
In the case of academic fraud as defined in article 42 of the USC Coexistence Law of March 2023, the sanctions provided for in article 11 will be applied if plagiarism occurs in academic works or exams or non-consensual use of Artificial intelligence.
