Overview

This course analyzes and reflects on different stages of the historical development of
private life (from the primitive community to the Middle Ages) assuming the definition
of living as social space. The main theme corresponds with references to occidental
cultures and will bring about the comparative study of the results of important centers
of Oriental societies, pre-Hispanic with views that favor student knowledge and the
amplification of cultural and aesthetic concepts. The course offers the necessary
interdisciplinary perspective using, as fundamental sources, the History of Art,
Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology of Art, Theory of Design, Culture and
Architecture theories
