This course will examine the events and social phenomena that have transformed British society since WW2 and contributed to shape its contemporary identity: post-war reconstruction and “consensus”, the setting up and subsequent reform of the Welfare State, decolonisation and the successive waves of immigration from former colonies, the challenge to traditional class and/or gender (collective) identities and categorisations, etc. These themes will be tackled through the study of various primary sources (texts, images, audiovisual documents) and students will be asked to produce written and oral analyses.
