Teaching method
The teaching methodology is based on two dimensions. First, a speech teacher in each class, allowing an overview of the topic and its consequences historiographical with calls attention to the large document databases. This context leads to the involvement of students through exercises such as presentations citation or a reference to the methods and content of the research work.

Subject matter
Culture is an central structural factor in contemporary societies, affecting all areas of daily life, with a growing impact in social, economical and political terms. It is therefore necessary to build a solid and comprehensive political thought on the various dimensions of culture: creation, production, reception, mediation, funding, as well as on the delicate and often invisible power relations within the cultural field. Such a thought ought to be
shaped by a critical, interdisciplinary approach to the cultural phenomenon, integrating the perspectives of history, geography, sociology, political science, anthropology, economics, cultural studies and the arts.
Throughout the Portuguese democratic experience, since the fall of the dictatorship in 1974, cultural policies have emerged gradually as a significant topic of increasing visibility within the general political and ideological debate in the country.
