Without a Title or Wondering about a Title

Abstract

History of Art cannot be understood as a mere list of artists, works and styles / arts movements. Its main purpose is to unveil the humanistic narrative based on credible written and iconographic resources and simultaneously to open critical public debate on historical, social and cultural outlines bearing in mind the concept of contemporaneity.
It is urgent to rethink both theory and practice as well as the teaching methodologies and adapt them to the new paradigm where globalization prevails.
In this paper we analysed how the Secondary Level curriculum of the subject of History of Culture and Arts can help to discuss issues like worldwide information network and how dichotomies between local and global can be fully developed.
