This course will provide students with an introduction to some of the main topics in philosophy of mind. The course will be broken down into two parts. In the first part, we will look mostly at recent versions of “functionalist” theories of mind. On the basis of that introduction and overview, we shall then discuss a series of very recent debates in the philosophy of mind that centre around the view that the mind is a physical and naturally evolved computational device.

Since its birth, psychiatry has enjoyed an ambiguous status, which confined it in a scientific and cultural zone of its own, secluded from the landscape of the medical disciplines. Still today psychiatry is characterized by a composite nature, which belongs to both the biological sciences and the human ones, straddling the interpersonal and the intrapersonal, the social and the individual. Its roots can be traced to old moral themes and new scientific problems. This fact has been a source of debate and controversy for over a century—to all appearances, it was a theoretical stalemate. This course aims to evaluate the potential of cognitive neuroscience to help psychiatry to find a way out of this impasse.

The programme is divided into a theoretical and applied section, the latter provided with Language Technologies for linguistic analisys data.
The theoretical section will introduce the following themes: word classes and lexical information, basic concepts in semantics and theories on meaning, structure in predicate and arguments (nouns and verbs), verb temporal and aspectual information, combinations of, and interactions between, words.
The applied section, with the help of the tools of information technology, will illustrate the research methodologies in use for linguistic data, in particular for the extraction of words, of combinations of words, and for their different typologies; it will also be devoted to a survey of frequency data which can be drawn from the existing corpora presented in the computer lab.
The applied section will be delivered by Dr. Piunno, expert in Language Technologies and corpus linguistics.

the origins and the open questions of Artificial intelligence
The course is dedicated to the birth of Artificial intelligence which happened more or less together witht the birth of the first electronic computers. The term was invented in 1956, but the discussion around the possibilities and consequences of what was called mechanical or machine intelligence started during the early Fifties and even earlier.
The Famous Turing Test created a huge interest since it was invented and proposed in 1950 by Alan Turing. Many years and many different methods were considered since AI origins, now many perspectives and technologies changed since then, in order to solve problems that required intelligence and problem solving capabilities to be solved.
At present there are many soft bots, many robot and many artificial devices that with the help of algorithms seem to espress intelligence and oblige us to change the concept of intelligence itself, both if applied to humans or to machines.
the most interesting phenomenon is the tendence to attribute to machine intelligent capabilities, mainly when we don't know precisely how the machine works.
This social dimention in attributing intelligence to machines was underlined by Turing too at the very beginning of machine intelligence reflection.
However this characteristic risks to produce unintendend and undesired consequences for human beings. we know that not many ara capable of understanding how to program a deep learning algorithm, and that more and more even programmers ignore how the machine produced the output results, because the layers of calculations are too difficult to follow in details also by those who programmed them. We know that only a small group of programmers and experts know the details. they tend to be trained by the same universities and to be hired by the same few multinational companies.
There are political and social problems that need a solution when we introduce a new AI tool. Innovation is not enough we need to build tools that are fair and useful to promote the development and wellbeing of all humans and not only of a small minority.
the course proposes some methods and histories to understand the political and social dimensions of the technological choices around us, with special regard to AI.

The course focuses on language pathologies, with particular attention to the deficits related to the discursive communication. Among the cases discusses, there are the communicative deficits characterizing pathologies such as autism, schizophrenia, and traumatic brain injury. In such cases, as well as in many neuropsychological and psychopathological disorders, the communicative impairments mainly concern the level of discourse and depend on deficits that primarily involve the cognitive dimension, rather than the linguistic one. Thus, the study of discourse disorders is particularly useful to investigate a more general question that is extremely relevant from a theoretical point of view: the relationships between language and cognition.

the politics of technology

Philosophy of technology is a relatively recent discipline that deals with relationships between Technology, knowledge and society.
The course wants to answer to the following questions:
What is technology?
Is it possible to think about science without a reflexion on technology in the present technoscientific environment?
Which are the relationships between society and technology?
Which are the relevant changes introduced by technology in living styles?
Is it possible to consider technology as neutral and value and ideology free?
Technology has a relevant and permanent influence on science and on knowledge building in general but also on the definition of society and its working assets. Technical artefacts produce changes on society and are influenced by social choices, political constraints and economical investments.
In this course we will discuss the importance of philosophy of technology for philosophy itself, if we accept the idea that philosophy is a research for understanding and for acting on present. If we accept this perspective we cannot ignore the importance of technology.
Technology is created according to projects, objectives and standards on which society has no direct control, but technical objects have relevant consequences on the functioning of social practices including the epistemological ones.
Technology is a normative discipine (different from science). Its object is not the study of how things are in the world. it imposes an organization on the world in order for its devices to work correctly. It proposes and orders a regulation for society and it is in need that society imposes a regulation on its implementation: not all that it is feasible technically it is allowed.

The seminar provides manly with a methodology. In fact, the photography comes not only by the eyes, needing instead a sort of dialogue among mind, eyes and heart. It is therefore essential to understand how to feed them, how to "train them" in order to translate an event to be narreted with the light in a true, fair way. The seminar intends to provide tools for reading the reality and learning on how to narrate a story; it also wish to stimulate a reflection on how the event is perceived personally, on the impact it has on the students. During the lessons some practical examples of reportage, both from the teacher herself and from different photographers will be showed and studied. Selected guests will attend some lessons in order to bring and exchange with the students their own experience and to update about new methodologies on journalism and photography.
Through specific and key reportage, teacher and students together will consider the concept of the truth and the lie in photojournalism, on the ethic of journalism. Last but not least, it is foreseen a reportage practical: the students will be sent outdoor and invited to prepare a photographic reportage putting in practice the lessons learned.

During the course, some preliminary methodological notions (validity, reliability) will be provided, and then qualitative, quantitative and qualitative approaches to psycho-social research will be presented and distinguished.
As to the qualitative approach, methods with low researcher’s intrusiveness will be presented such as observation, qualitative interview, and focus-groups; During the course, different possibilities for coding of qualitative data (ie paper and pencil or semi-automatic) will be presented. As to quantitative approaches, the different phases of constructing structured questionnaires (ie attitude scales) will be illustrated also checking the distorting effects; a special part will be dedicated to the experiment: in this regard, various experimental designs will be presented through concrete case studies, providing preliminary knowledge of data analysis using software such as spss. Finally, the main psychometric properties of psychological tests will be described but also the interpretation of the scores through standardized test examples.

This class of Neurosciences of Communication and Language will explore the neural and cognitive correlates of communication and language processing. After introducing the notion of communicative competence (both verbal and non-verbal), the focus will be shifted to the analysis of the structural and cognitive characteristics of human language highlighting the interactions among different cognitive systems (e.g., perception, memory, attention, executive functions) and language. Lastly, the most recent cognitive models of langauge production and comprehension will be discussed in light of evidence coming from neuroimaging studies of patients with brain injuries and healthy individuals.

Students will receive the slides describing the contents of this class. They will need to study the following two books:

NATIONALISM AND CONTEMPORARY HISTORY: THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT
This course intends to investigate nationalism as a distinctive historical phenomenon of contemporary age, with a particular reference to European history. An analysis of several theories of nation and nationalism will serve as introductory part of the course, in which various elaborations of thinking on the idea of nation will be examined as well as the different interpretative hypotheses on nation and nationalism. European history from World War I to the post World War II era will be reconsidered stressing the topic of nationalism and its manifold influence on historical processes of the continent and its connections with other geopolitical areas. The dynamic relationship between globalization and internationalism trends and radicalization of nationalisms will be explored. A particular focus will be devoted to the revival of nationalisms after the end of the Cold War and in the first two decades of the 21st century.

The course focuses on the relationship between language and narrative from a cognitive and evolutionary point of view. In contrast to the theories considering the sentence as the essence of language, the course suggests an interpretative hypothesis based on the priority of discourse over sentence; specifically, it is suggested that the ability to tell stories is the distinctive trait both of language and human nature.
The course includes experimental activities aimed at supporting the theoretical model proposed.

Mandatory books:
- Corballis M. (2020, in stampa), La verità sul linguaggio, Carocci, Roma (in uscita ad aprile 2020)
- Scott-Phillips (2017) Dì quello che hai in mente. Le origini della comunicazione umana, Carocci, Roma
- Caruana F., Borghi A. (2016) Il cervello in azione, Il Mulino, Bologna

The course is an introduction to the use of IT tools for the study of the English language. The module includes a theoretical part, in which the main themes of corpus linguistics will be described, in order to familiarize the student with quantitative and computational methodologies for the analysis of English linguistic data. In the second part, the main corpora and software for the study of the English language will be illustrated, and illustrative case studies will be proposed on the study of the lexicon and the syntagmatic properties of lexemes (e.g. collocations, multiword units), semantics (e.g. metaphor, metonymy, lexical polysemy) and the evolution of the English language (eg grammaticalization).

The following topics will be covered during the course:
-) the study of the English language through corpora;
-) word classes and their frequency in corpora;
-) the concept of collocation;
-) phrases and lexicon;
-) recurrent syntactic structures and textual typology;
-) metaphor and metonymy through corpora;
-) grammaticalization;
-) analysis of the text through the corpus;
-) the web as a corpus.
