Università Roma Tre

ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY
THE COURSE INTENDS TO EXAMINE AND DESCRIBE THE PAST THROUGH THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX AND CHANGING INTERACTIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT, THAT IS THE WAY IN WHICH, OVER TIME, THE SOCIETIES HAVE INTERACTED WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENTS, MODIFYING THEM AND ABSORBING THEIR INFLUENCE. IN THIS PERSPECTIVE, THE FOCUS IS, IN PARTICULAR, TO RECONSTRUCT AND ANALYZE, IN THEIR VARIOUS MEANINGS, THE CONCRETE FORMS OF ACTIVATION OF RESOURCES AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES THAT HAVE CHARACTERIZED AND CHARACTERIZE TODAY THE HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY, IN THEIR INDISSOLUBLE LINK WITH DEMOGRAPHIC, ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND CULTURAL DYNAMICS.
