Today mobility is a keyword related to migration, transport, mass tourism, global trade, the circulation of digital information and their impact on urban transformations. Beyond everyday perception, mobility is also a new paradigm in the Social Sciences and Humanities, that looks beyond immobile socio-economic structures and fixed cultural identities, in order to provide a new understanding of past and present societies. The two-years MA program in Mobility Studies at the University of Padua is driven by the assumption that the Humanities can play a crucial role in facing and understanding mobility in present society. This is something different than offering a focus uniquely on the circulation of people, objects, and ideas in given historical and geographical frameworks. The MA program in Mobility Studies offers a broader approach. It aims at providing students with a selection of specific ools in historical, geographical, anthropological and philological studies, in order to challenge the traditional understanding of human actions, in time and space. “Challenging forces” such as colonization, migration, exile, tourism are seen as factors that shape cultural identities and not only as phenomena of contamination of given cultures. Students will be immersed in an engaging process through which people, texts, images, artifacts, commodities, ideas are moved, translated, transformed, adapted and negotiated by different social actors, sometime in distant spatial contexts, in the past and in the present. The global and local scenarios call for new experts, trained in historical and cultural studies, but ready for political and social action today. https://apply.unipd.it/courses/course/88-mobility-studies
