Never as in recent years has Europe been at the center of public debate: for some the only lifeline against nationalisms and wars, for others the ultimate cause of all our problems and malaises, especially from an economic point of view. In the political discourse Europe is automatically identified with the community bodies; nevertheless, it is a concept which possesses an extraordinary historical depth, the knowledge of which imposes itself as an essential necessity in order to correctly insert the events of our continent in the framework of world history and also in order to avoid falling into clichés and generalizations deriving from the flattening of the perspective solely on the events of the last seventy years. The course aims to analyze the evolution of the notion of "Europe" over the very long period, by deepening on the one hand its role in global history (colonialism, decolonization, etc.), on the other the conceptualization of its internal articulations, and in particular the Mediterranean sector, traditional and fundamental area of ​​contact, communication and clash with the Arab and Ottoman world.

LGBT believers and queer theologies in Christian churches from the 1960s to today

The sexual experience and conjugal life have represented the terrain on which the Christian churches have opposed the greatest resistance to the social and cultural transformations from the late modern age to the most recent processes of secularization. The question of the relationship between Christian faith and homosexuality, especially in the contemporary age, has triggered a lot of short circuits between the official positions of the Churches and those experiences that have favored the visibility and acceptance of LGBT believers signed by a new pastoral sensitivity and a theological thought attentive to accepting the requests coming from the social sciences and from the movements that claim full civil rights for homosexual people. In some Christian churches, at an official level, homosexuality was considered unnatural and out of the norm, an obstacle to the natural function of generation and to marriage. But the agency of LGBT Christian groups certifies the possibility of reconciliation with the institution and comes to the attention of the historian as a new religious subjectivity.
The course of study will address the topic by proposing a three-phase path: a) to offer a historical overview of the positions taken by the Christian Churches in the twentieth century on a global level on the question of homosexuality, in particular the Catholic and Protestant Churches; b) to analyze some pastoral experiences of groups and movements formed by LGBT Christians since the 1960s, especially in the United States, France and Italy, with the support of recent sociological studies; c) to follow the evolution of the so-called "queer theology", starting from the studies on the relationship between faith and homosexuality up to the most recent contributions.

During the course, a reconstruction of the history of international migration in contemporary times is proposed, analyzing in particular the peculiarities of the Italian case. The periodization embraces the historical phase between the second half of the 19th century and the present day.
The history of migration in Italy in the contemporary age is read in the light of the connections with the economic, social and cultural dimensions of the history of contemporary Italy. Special attention is given to the topic of migration policies.
In the perspective of deepening the links between the history of Italian migrations and the evolution of international cooperation paths, special consideration is given to the history and evolution of the social actors who played a leading role in the great seasons of development of mass migrations: national and international institutions, social organizations, movements, associations, trade unions. At the same time, the environmental perspective is emphasized, identifying the impact of mobility on Italian territorial contexts at the environmental level in both places of departure and places of destination.

The acquisition of tools for understanding the women’s conditions and the gender relations will be carried out through a programme divided in two parts.
In the first one the analysis of the steps that marked the development of the European women’s identity and the struggle to achieve the objectives of freedom and democracy will be carried out. In the second part the same topics will be analysed in relation to men and to some historical junctions, like the economic and cultural crisis and the wars.

The locution "human rights" denotes a field of action as well as a broad, inter-disciplinary, field of studies. In the first perspective, human rights are generally meant to express a set of minimum standards of conduct a State ought to meet in the treatment of individuals over whom it exercises its jurisdiction. Since the end of World War II international charters, conventions, covenants and declarations have been promulgated stating what basic rights individuals have. Notable efforts have been made to enforce adherence to those rights resulting in the creation of a system of multi-level jurisdiction through a number of international courts. Even though many see human rights as a Western, culturally biased, construction based upon an abstract and atomistic conception of the individual, the notion that for a State to promote and perform cruel and degrading acts is unjust, albeit for different reasons, has become increasingly popular globally. In the second perspective, descriptively human rights are said to be powers or properties belonging to all human beings in virtue of being human. Normatively that all human beings must be able to enjoy certain fundamental rights is a matter of global justice. Today not only theories of human rights, concerned with guiding action, but also theories about human rights, concerned with foundational questions, compete with one another. The course concentreates on the theory of autonomy, vulnerability, recognition and justice by Axel Honneth. There is general agreement about the fact that liberal-democratic societies are based on normative principles, which require legal provisions to ensure that governments do not violate anyone’s fundamental rights. Yet, partially on account of the complexity of the ongoing overlapping global processes of integration, deregulation, reform, and partially on account of the influence of anti-foundational critique (deconstruction; postmodernism; relativism), these widely accepted principles seem to have lost much of their original explanatory and prescriptive force. Contrary to those claiming that this problem consists of a mere temporal delay between philosophical investigation and practical application Honneth argues that more is needed than time, hope and persistence to transform theoretically developed principles of freedom and justice into guidelines for political action. In his view the normative principles at the heart of the human rights discourse are formulated in a manner that prevents us from deriving guidelines for political action. In particular, the course will examine the model of normative reconstruction that Honneth developed in neo-Hegelian fashion for the purpose of situating his own theory of justice as recognition in the analysis of the variety of historically determined institutional instances and practices that embody existentially significant claims to realization.

Week 6

Is Multiculturalism Bad For Women?, edited by Susan Moller Okin, Princeton University Press, 1999

We will explore the advent of fossil fuels with the emergence of the age of coal, the shift to hydrocarbons, and the most recent trend towards renewable energy sources. This will be done by analysing great power politics, political and economic debates on energy, the expansion of fordism and consumerism, the role of multinational oil companies, the pressures for decolonization and the emergence of the environmentalist debate from the 1970s up to the more recent debate on the "Anthropocene" and "decarbonization".

Questions and concepts such as “resource curse”, “conservationism”, “Dutch disease”, “limits of growth”, "peak oil", "sustainable development", "extractivism", will be discussed and informed by the relevant literature (and possibly archival material), and with the help images and documentaries.

This course is taught in English.

It is monographic course. We will focus on the historical development of the relation between sociology and the forms of institutional regulation during modernity. The path will develop as follows:
- Socio-institutional regulation during modernity (horizontalism in the nineteenth century; verticalism and golden age of the State; contemporary neo-horizontalism);
- The criss-cross alternation law: forms of regulation and forms of social theory;
- Sociological verticalism in the classics of sociology;
- Horizontalism in twentieth century’s sociology;
- The paradigm delay.

After the long period analysis, in the second part we will focus on the present by examining a recent research about the changing influence of social peripherality on electoral behavior.

In contemporary societies the arts affect the public discourse, becoming agency of social and cultural meanings, laboratory for the civil society, space and place for shaping the collective and public memories of controversial events, arenas where gender identities, ethnicity and social classes are socially constructed.
The first part of the course will aim at studying artistic production and politics of cultural consumption. It will focus on the following topics: theories of the "author's death", theories of reception, art as social practice, the institutional definitions of artistic value, cases of " non-recognition " and plagiarism, politics of genius, canonization and practices of social exclusion, theories of cultural capital, relationship between art and advertising, the role of social media in the production of artistic reputations and in relation to the "arts worlds", artistic intermediation processes and their social effects.
The second part will concern art institutions. It will address the following topics: art and the public sphere, monuments in the urban space, art as memory technology, cultural consumption of the past and the role of the cinema in shaping the public memory of very contested pasts, sociology of museums and politics of museum exhibition, representation of ethnic identities in museums, museums as technology of gender, multimedia arts.

Course Content

Presented within the frame of Religion and Society in Global Perspective, this course explores social, historical, and religious change focusing on western Europe in its relationship with the world. Particular attention will be paid to the Renaissance, Religious Reforms, and the Age of Discovery, starting with the late antique and medieval premises for religious and cultural change, and exploring the transformation of religious/magical beliefs and doctrines, systems of power, identity formation and forms of dissent.
The course introduces students to the foundational themes, methods and skills necessary for the study of upper-level religious and cultural history. With a particular focus on the study of primary sources, it enables students to explore for themselves the characteristics of early modern European religious history in global perspective.
The assessment schedule for this course is set out in stages to allow for the incremental development of core skills in the study of history. It is student-centred and involves a written essay about set primary and secondary readings, an oral presentation, and a final oral exam.

All readings will be made available by the professor on Moodle. The Prof.’s lectures as well as class discussion will be based on those readings.

An historical perspective on religions must take into consideration their multi-layered presence on the territory and must be able to analyze dynamics and strategies: since 2007 more than a half of the global population lives in urban areas and cities have become the privileged space of contestations, conflicts, negotiation of interests, creation of symbolic and capital resources concerning religions. In cities innovations, waves and tendencies concerning beliefs and religious practices are produced and reproduced. Italian and European cities were the space of creation and elaboration of social fears; in the last decades fear was related to economy, the environment, the pandemic crisis.
The fear, almost touchable in the streets of the cities, is related to religion in a double way; from one side every religion was born from the fear of the loose/impossibility of controlling life, death, illness, pain, the end and often it is an answer to this feeling and to worries
From the other side, religions produce fear, in the case of violence which arises in their name but also due to collective imaginaries which feed clichés, stereotypes, in particular towards minorities.
This course offers some historical examples of religion such as an antidote to fear and religion such as virus of fear, in particular related to the topic of social fear and religious answers, fears which were provoked by ecological crisis, the wars or sublimated by religious fundamentalisms (on line – at school in prisons and in religious places)

The course aims to provide the methodical elements for the analysis of the processes of construction of individual and collective memory and for all public (and political) uses of the past.

In particular, we will discuss those historiographical currents which, especially in Italy, constitute the theoretical basis of the discipline: oral history and cultural history.

Finally, some examples of "good practices" of Public History will also be provided.

A cura di P. Bertella Farnetti - L. Bertucelli -A. Botti

ed. Mimesis 2017

The course will address the study of the interaction between the technological, economic and political dynamics of human development and those of the natural world, from the 'first' industrial revolution to the beginning of the 21st century.
The course will focus in particular on the period 1945-2000, from which the following subjects will be analysed: the birth of associations for the conservation of the environment; the rise of ecological protest, environmentalist movements and animalism; the development of green cultures and parties in Europe; and the unfolding of the scientific and political debate on climate change. The course will focus on the Italian case: both on environmental and health emergencies in the history of the second half of the 20th century, and on the environmentalist movements and parties that arose and their political course.

RUSSIA, AN EMPIRE
The course will focus on empire as a peculiar element of continuity in contemporary Russian history despite the radical changes that the country has undergone. The unique characteristics of Russia’s imperial model will be analyzed in its various forms and manifestations, along with the diverse political strategies of Russian governors between 1800 and 1900s, from the Russian Empire through the USSR to the Russian Federation. The national question, the broader geographical dimension, the forms of government, foreign policies and international geopolitical visions will be studied in depth. The different imperial ideologies will also be examined.

Course program

The topics dealt with in the Course are:

▪ Sustainability in its historical development and in different contexts, from the internal/organizational to the external/social one up to the SDGs, i.e. from the sustainability of a role (in terms of values, knowledge, skills and soft skills) within an organizational contest to the sustainability of an organizational (cultural) identity, both at a strategic and a relational (communication) level (mission, vision, values and the ways of sharing them within a given context), up to the concept of sustainable society.

▪ Cultural (self-)awareness as a self-developmental, organizational and community awareness process to be implemented through:

a) a growing consciousness of one’s own cultural identity;
b) the acquisition of leadership and management skills, to be built and constantly upgraded;
c) the setting up of activities and policies to set up educational/cultural projects aiming at social cohesion and inclusiveness, at different forms of cultural entrepreneurship, at innovative approaches to curatorial practices;

▪ the role of content marketing and content co-creation in organizational strategies, and the ability of building sustainable, value(s)-based models of content management with the engagement of different audiences and communities.


The Course methodology is based on discussions about readings and presentations with an active participation of students. The main project of the Course will be developed with the action research methodology: students will carry out research activities on a theme assigned by a cultural institution based in Rome in which to develop a cultural leadership approach with reference to the Goals and Targets of the 2030 Agenda. In this perspective, the cultural awareness of each participant to the Course will be integrated in the individual and common reflection.

It is monographic course. We will focus on the historical development of the relation between sociology and the forms of institutional regulation during modernity. The path will develop as follows:
- Socio-institutional regulation during modernity (horizontalism in the nineteenth century; verticalism and golden age of the State; contemporary neo-horizontalism);
- The criss-cross alternation law: forms of regulation and forms of social theory;
- Sociological verticalism in the classics of sociology;
- Horizontalism in twentieth century’s sociology;
- The paradigm delay.

After the long period analysis, in the second part we will focus on the present by examining a recent research about the changing influence of social peripherality on electoral behavior.

The course aims at introducing students to the legal traditions of the world, and namely with those traditions with whom the Italian legal system has major contacts. The study of the traditions will be conducted both from a historical and a comparative perspective, taking into account the interaction among legal traditions, the hybridisation and harmonization processes, as well as the competition among legal models.

In particular, the course will deal with the following traditions:
- Civil law
- Common law
- Muslim
- Indu
- East-Asian

Students shall study the following books:

1) V. Varano – V. Barsotti, La tradizione giuridica occidentale, Giappichelli, Torino, 2021

e

2) G. Calabresi, Il mestiere di giudice. Pensieri di un accademico americano, Mulino, Bologna, 2014

During the workshop, we will work on single types of sources through both theoretical and practical lessons. Students will be invited to actively participate in the lessons, through works that they will carry out in groups but independently at home and that they will present in the classroom, as well as through active interventions during the lessons.
Visits are planned to some museums in Rome.

There are no textbooks.
