Università Roma Tre

PART I: The course aims at offering the knowledge concerning the transformations of economy, society and institutions in the last two centuries. Students will be provided with few reading keys of contemporary modernity, assuming as starting point the first industrial revolution and the passage from the absolute State to constitutional-liberal State and ending point globalisation and end of East-Ouest bipolarism. In introductory lectures few method issues are proposed, related to the interdisciplinary approach in the history research and the periodisation in the socio-economic and political-institutional history.
PART II: The course is articulated into two modules:
1. Introductory lectures where some relevant subjects of the Twentieth century are analysed. Either concerning the international politics dynamics and great social, political and cultural changes in the past century.
2. Seminar lectures focused on Republican Italy at the presence of scholars and actors. During this module individual and group research path will be identified, and seminars on history and cinema will take place, with film, documentary and film-fiction projection.
