Overview

This course is a general and integral panorama of the Costa Rican culture from its
origin until the contemporary era through the evolutionary analysis of different
branches of artistic production: literary, plastic, musical, and scenic. This course sets
out from a perspective that favors the reflection upon the evolution of these artistic
processes through fundamental themes to understand the local culture as a case of
identity and the characteristics of the definition and application of cultural politics
through history.
