A PLURALISTIC MODERNITY

The course introduces to the historical developments and to the key personalities of modernist art - from the modernist avant-gardes to the 1960s -, focusing on themes such as the relationship with technology and new media (photography, cinema, television), with the political and social landscape, the natural and urban spaces, etc. The analysis of these topics will also provide the basic methodology for the study of the different media that characterize twentieth-century art, providing the critical tools necessary for the reading of different types of works of art.

The course aims to retrace the relationships between the artistic object and the historical environment from the avant-garde to the contemporary, in a methodological comparison between history, art theory and visual studies. Starting from the questioning of the frame in painting and the pedestal in sculpture, we will deepen the passage from the object to the environment, the escape of the artistic intervention from the spaces in charge of art from nature and into the public space - from Land Art to different practices of social participation - up to the analysis of installations and immersive environments that produce engaging and interactive physical experiences thanks to the use of new technologies.
We will focus on genealogies and theoretical questions useful to frame:
- problems related to the dematerialization of the work in time and site specific installations;
- the exhibition as an immersive device with the treatment of crucial historical moments such as the surrealist exhibitions or the exhibitions Lo Spazio dell’Immagine (Foligno, Palazzo Trinci, 1967) and Ambiente Arte. From Futurism to Body Art, curated by Germano Celant (Venice Biennale 1976);
- the dimension of spectatoriality in the transition from contemplative fruition to multisensory participation and interaction.

Landscape archeology studies the landscape not only as a surrounding environment for a particular archaeological site, but as a broad geographical and cultural context, a synergy between culture and nature, a complex reality characterized by an interaction of different phenomena, an organism alive over time and in continuous transformation. The dynamism and changes in the landscape, in the territory, the relationship between man and the environment and the organization of the human settlement, the perception, use and representation of space, are investigated through the different historical periods to date, with the awareness that the landscape is constantly changing. The characteristics, theories and methods of landscape archaeology will be illustrated and various case studies and practical applications will be presented, in different geographical and temporal realities. Furthermore, methodologies and techniques used in landscape research will be illustrated (non-invasive methods, archaeological surface reconnaissance, geoarchaeology and paleoenvironmental research) and the first rudiments will be provided for understanding the applications of GIS systems (Geographical Information Systems - IT tools for spatial data management and analysis) in the field of landscape archaeology.

The aim of the course is to provide the student with a basic knowledge of the theories and methods of landscape archaeology and a theoretical-methodological basis for the interpretation of the history of human settlements and the transformations of the cultural and environmental landscape in a diachronic perspective, through illustrations of case studies, in particular from the Mediterranean area.

The programme aims to present the main artistic and architectural manifestations of Mesopotamia and Iran between the second half of the 4th and the end of the 3rd millennium BC. The study of the main cultural expressions of the individual peoples who ploughed the alluvial areas between the Tigris and the Euphrates, together with the coeval Elamite productions known on the Iranian plateau, will be tackled both with an art-historical approach and with a purely archaeological methodology that will allow us to define cultural horizons within specific stratum sequences. In this perspective, the course will be introduced by an adequate historical introduction, essential for the understanding of the cultural dynamics that followed one another in the Near East from the foundation of the first city (ca. 3500 B.C.) to the destruction of Ur (2004 B.C.).

Course title 2022-2023:
Jesus to the rise of Christianity

Teaching articulation: 6 CFU

Semester: II


Course description:

The course aims to introduce students to the History of Christianity, starting from the figure of Jesus, framed in the cultural context of Second Temple Judaism, up to the 8th century: the presentation is not limited to the horizon of the Roman Catholic Church, but considers also the different manifestations and the multiple developments of Christianity within the first eight centuries until the emergence of Islam. Specific purpose of the course is to start the student to a critical reading of the sources, with particular attention to methodological questions and scholarly debate.
During the course, we will visit – if it will be possible – some significant places of ancient and early medieval Christianity (churches, catacombs, museums).

Short fiction: the short stories from Boccaccio to Basile

Canonised by the Decameron, the short story or novella has always been a genre of great vitality and difficult definition. Through the analysis of a series of significant texts and authors, the course intends to follow the development of the short story and examine the different forms it takes (in prose or verse, isolated or in organic collections, autonomous or within other works) from the 14th to the 17th century, until Giambattista Basile takes up the Decameron’s structure to create a new genre, the literary fairy tale.

Textbooks for attending students:

- La novella del Cinquecento, a cura di Sandra Carapezza, Milano, UNICOPLI, 2013

In the first unit, students will be given an introduction to the vocabulary and problems of aesthetics. In particular, we will follow the historical path of the terms: Aesthetics, Imitation, Art, Beauty.
The unit will be divided into three parts:
1) Introduction to the term aesthetics, as experience and as a philosophical discipline. Concerning the birth of the term: reading and commentary by Baumgarten, Aesthetica, Introduction.
2) Art and mimesis, from antiquity to the eighteenth century: (partial) reading and commentary of Plato, Republic X; Aristotle, Poetica; Batteux, Le belle arti
3) The beautiful: reading and commentary of Kant, Analitica del bello.
All the texts are collected in the anthology Estetica, edited by P. D'Angelo, E. Franzini, G. Scaramuzza Raffaello Cortina, Milan.

The second part will explore the concept of sublime.
It will then be articulated in the following way:
1) Reading and commentary of Kant, Analitica del Sublime.
2) Explanation of the interpretation of Lyotard, with reading and commentary of selected passages of the text in the program.

The course aims to present the main characteristics of documents in the Western legal tradition, with particular regard to their value for historical studies. In this regard, the external and internal characteristics of the document will be examined, as well as the cultural landscape of the times and places of production of the main types of documents, linking them to the legal and cultural traditions of Western history. In this way diplomacy is understood as a historical science capable of acting as a fundamental critical support to historical disciplines, which find in manuscript documentation an important part of their primary sources of study. In particular, attention will be paid to the illustration of documentation of medieval Latin origin, which is particularly complex in its evaluation as a historical document; there will also be an in-depth study of the medieval documentary system of the city of Rome.
The course will include both the examination of reproductions of documents and the direct examination of manuscripts and writing materials through visits to archives and libraries.

The final exam will include the knowledge of the material provided during the course. Students are required to add the study ofthe following texts:
- Alessandro Pratesi, Genesi e forme del documento medievale, III edizione, Roma, Jouvence, 1999 (Guide, 3);
- Two essays among those distributed during the course

The course aims to provide students with the critical and theoretical tools to orient themselves in the modern society of communication and to understand the interaction between historical and technological components on the one hand and cultural and social on the other.
The course is divided into two parts: a theoretical-general and a monographic part.
The first part is devoted to the analysis of the main theories and the most important interpretative models developed within the research on mass communications with particular regard to the sociological field. Particular attention will be devoted to the modern "network society", to its theories and its impact on society and social relations.
In the final part of the course, we analyze the impact of television on Italian society and culture from the 50s to the present day. This part of the course, on the one hand, deepens the knowledge of Italian television in the different phases and seasons of the country. On the other hand, it analyses the effects of television on the individual and collective Italian identity, trough the analysis of some of the most famous Italian political talk-shows.

The course in Media Sociology aims to provide students with a knowledge of the main social and cultural changes that followed the evolution of "traditional" media (press, radio, television) and later of the new media, focusing on the relationship between technology, individual and society. The first part of the course is focused on the sociological studies developed during the 20th century in concomitance with the development of mass media, paying attention the main actors involved in the communication processes: the sender, the message, the receiver, and the effects. A further focus is set on the social, cultural, individual and interpersonal transformations due to the development of the Internet and the social network sites, which are as spaces opening up to new opportunities but at the same time as agents of new inequalities. The second part focuses on the history and development of the television, and specifically of a television genre that is prominent on the Italian scenario: the political talk show. By analysing the main transformations of the “democracy” (democrazia dei partiti, democrazia dello spettacolo, teledemocrazia, democrazia del pubblico, postdemocrazia, democrazia ibrida), the format (puro, impuro, ibrido) and taking into account the arise of new media and new form of participation, students can reflect on the evolution not only of the relationship between politics and television, but also between politics, television and citizenship.

The course aims to offer:
(a) a general introduction of 5 lessons to the discipline (origins and development of the alphabetical writing in Greece, characteristics of the local alphabets, different kinds of inscriptions and supports, specific literature, specific IT tools);
(b) reading and historical-critical examination of epigraphical texts of different kind and chronology (13 lessons);
(c) practice on inscriptions, in order to gain the knowledge of basic technics and conventions for classifying, recording, filing and editing epigraphical texts (2 lessons);
(d) a practical exercise on how to make epigraphic squeezes at the Museo Nazionale Romano.

C) Material which will be provided by the teacher during classes

The course classes (in presence or only if necessary in videoconference) and visits, during which space will be given for practical exercise, take highly into consideration the specialized nature of the laboratory and the heterogeneity of its participants.
The archaeo-lab course focuses on the study and on the handling of the archaeological materials.
Within the frame of a long chronological timespan and of a large geographical horizon, several types of materials, together with their production processes, will be examined (from the pre-historic phase to the more recent and modern ones). A further analysis on the decoration of selected productions (in ceramic, metal or vitreous materials) will be then carried out.
The issues related to the cataloguing and classification of the archaeological findings and the compilation of the data records entry will be preliminary discussed.
Nevertheless, aspects related to the acquisition of scientific information (for the purpose of study or restoration of the materials) will be explored and a few notions about technical drawing and data digitization will be provided. The practical side of the lessons will be exploited throughout lectures, simulations, exercises and external visits.
During the course, the students will be trained in the field of the pottery studies, of the architectonic decoration (in terracotta or marble). Furthermore, they will be also introduced, thanks to the use of optical instrumentation and digital tools, to the study of the different types of materials (clay, vitreous, metal and stone).

Specific bibliography will be provided during the lessons; one to one meetings during the teacher’s office hours are recommended.
Office hours: in the faculty (room 37) or in videoconference according to previous agreements.

SECOND SEMESTER PROGRAM

First module
The first module is an introduction to Roman history in its general lines, from the first developments in pre- and proto-urban times to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. During classes we will focus on the main phenomena and processes that have shaped the Roman civilization and determined their specific characters. The main events in Roman political history will be examined with a constant eye on their social, economic and cultural implications. The order in which the different subjects will be dealt with will follow the chronology of the most significant events, according to the traditional scan of Roman history in the monarchical, republican and imperial era.

Second module
The second module is dedicated to the political life of the late Republican era. In particular, the functions and role of the main institutions involved in the decision-making process (senate, magistrates, assemblies) will be examined, with specific attention to the involvement in the political life of the various components of Roman society, from the most modest citizens in the plebs to the senatorial and equestrian aristocracies. It will also be shown that institutional processes were not the only ones that counted in the political game: opportunities for informal exchange of information and opinions also played a prominent role.

This first part of the Byzantine Civilization teaching, addressed to Classics, History and Art undergraduates, aims to answer to the following questions: what is Byzantium? What are the benefits of studying it and why do we need to study it? Why is the study of Byzantium important not only to those interested in the Byzantine studies themselves but also to those who are involved with classical philology, Christian studies, archeology, art history and history, in their classical, medieval and modern nature, as well as history of religions and philosophy?
During this teaching we shall give essential and precise diachronic and geographic coordinates, along with clear introductory elements of evenemential history; we will also, but not only, dwell on the long, coherent and manifold civil and cultural life of Byzantium, aiming to reach two primary goals: (1) to let emerge its role in preserving literature, art and a way of studying and thinking, which are essentially what we would nowadays call western civilization and which are the foundation of every sort of humanism, and thus of the study of humanities itself. (2) To cast some light on the millenial Byzantine experiment, not only on the political and religious history of the eleven years in which it developed, but also on the idea of ‘State’ and on the geopolitics’ parable, focusing on the places, in which civilizations met and cultures exchanged, the Byzantine Roman empire had directly or indirectly ruled on.
As customary, introductory lectures on Byzantine civilization will be supplemented by others of a monographic nature, focusing on research themes developed more recently by the Byzantine Chair at Roma Tre. In particular, some of the sessions shall be devoted to framing the role of Platonism within Byzantine paideia - as it was transmitted in secular and ecclesiastical cultural circles, schools, academies -, with particular attention to the characters of Hypatia of Alexandria and Synesius of Cyrene, as well as to their Nachleben in later ages, traceable in very heterogeneous and diversified sources, starting from hagiographic works conceived in the first centuries (VI-VII cent. ) to exegesis and scholarly miscellany dating back to the Paleologic Age (14th cent.). Rather, other lectures will focus on the culminating event in the history of the millennial empire, namely the Turkish conquest of Constantinople (1453). In these cases, classes will mainly emphasise the historical impact of the fall of the ancient basileia, as well as its reception and legacy in the coeval, early-modern and contemporary Western world.

DISCIPLINARY FIELD: L-ANT/03
"Rome and the Roman world: an epigraphic civilization"
No human civilization has ever celebrated and exposed the ‘written word’ more than the Greek-Roman one. The module proposes an introduction to the study of the epigraphic landscape in Latin language in the Roman world, from the origins to the fall of the Western Empire. We proceed to the reading of inscriptions, live, but also as PDF and power point images. The texts are examined and transcribed according to the criteria of the current scientific edition. Examples of the different categories of inscriptions (sepulchral, honorary, building, sacred, etc.) are analyzed with particular attention to their historical, social and topographical context. We then study the different categories of epigraphic sources in Latin, the criteria of their ancient making and editing, their history and their modern edition (printed and digital). In addition, the students will be stimulate to consult the printed epigraphic collections and other tools of epigraphic and bibliographic research, and to consult the epigraphic databases.

TEXTS for attending students:
A. Buonopane, Manuale di epigrafia latina, Rome (Carocci) 2020 (it includes links contains links to the Italian translation of the Latin inscriptions analysed in the text).
In addition to the manual, to be studied in its entirety, the students attending can download in PDF format from the teacher's website and from the Teams digital platform some handouts; their contents are illustrated in class and which must be studied for the exam.

Reference texts for non-frequent students: they must agree on a programme with the teacher.

Students can study texts in English, French, German and Spanish on the teacher's advice; it is possible to ask for taking the exam in one of these three languages.

The course consists of an introduction to the study of written culture in the Ancient World, with particular reference to the Latin and (pre-Roman and Roman) Greek cultural milieu up to the 7th century AD. A historical, typological and archaeological framework will be traced about tools and materials in use for writing, forms of the book and document, techniques of literary and documentary text composition, with a nod also to the exposed writing practices of epigraphic and other fields. To complement the theoretical discourse, a number of exemplary written testimonies will be examined from the point of view of their forms and contents.
