| Extended program | The course analyzes different fields of research on violence, through procedures for processing information and data. In the case of violence, social changes are read through the main fields of transformation: from cities to terrorism, from migration to war, the conceptualization of violence is proposed in a critical way. The critical reading deconstructs the main contemporary themes of violence, terrorism and threat. In this perspective, information and data management corresponds to the effort to overcome, through methodological rigor, the media narratives relating to some specific forms of violence. |
