LOGICS OF INFORMATION AND ACTION
(objectives)
We live in an information network and in an exchange of opinions that is ubiquitous and constant – a net of epistemic acts that we exchange with other agents and affect what we end up believing and deciding. Working with information implies more and more that we face the social effects of this – and these are today faster and faster, and we get a glimpse of them in real time. However, the more agents we have involved, the harder to understand the dynamics of information release turn to be.
This course introduces a formal toolkit that helps in this enterprise.
In particular, the course aims at securing: (1) the understanding of the problems of reasoning that can be triggered by the release of information; (2) the understanding of models that capture the dynamic effects of information release, and the conceptual problems they raise; (3) the problems connected to the representation of belief-merging and, in general, the relations between individual and collective notions of epistemic attitudes;
(4) the understanding of the conditions at which consensus is possible, the role it can play, and the relation between the information release policies, the connection of the epistemic network, and the hierarchies and trust distribution in epistemic communities.
(3) e (4) presuppose (1) and (2). In turn, the last two objectives come with a view on the social impact that the information release policies have on a community of epistemic agents. The course employs a varied package of methods and tools, especially those from Epistemic Logic and Dynamic Epistemic Logic, but also, to a lesser extent, notions and methods from Judgement Aggregation and Network Epistemology, which the course will briefly introduce.

CIUNI ROBERTO
( syllabus)
The course discusses the problems that motivated Judgment Aggregation Theory, and how the latter reacts to such problems. In particular, we will discuss the problems connected to the majority rule, the formal intepretation of the aggregation from individual to collective opinions envisaged by Judgment Aggregation Theory, and a list of conditions that are traditionally deemed desirable for aggregation rules. We will then explore the impossibility results showing that, at given conditions, an aggregation rule satisfying some given bundles of desirable conditions cannot but collapse on dictatorship or oligarchies. We will then explore the attempts at circumventing the collapse implied by the impossibility results by a convenient redesign of the desirable conditions. The course is taught in English.

-
Derived from
20711528 LABORATORIO DI INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE APPLICATA AL LINGUAGGIO
in Scienze Cognitive della Comunicazione e dell'Azione LM-92 Algherini Samuel
( syllabus)
The lab aims to deliver students solid theoretical foundations of AI and a well-established ability to interact with Large Language Models through the best prompt engineering techniques.
The lab consists of a more theoretical first phase where we will cover the basics of AI and understand how a neural network works. We will also see the ethical issues related to these models, such as the creation of biased models, the data protection problem and the explainability problem, i.e., The ability to understand why a result was provided.
Second, once this knowledge is acquired, we will pay attention to how LLMs work. We will see the architecture of these models and we will move on to study and rehearse together the most current prompt engineering techniques and different possible methods to relate to these models and get the best answers.
No prior knowledge of code is necessary.

20710271 SCIENZE COGNITIVE DEL LINGUAGGIO - LM in Scienze Cognitive della Comunicazione e dell'Azione LM-92 FERRETTI FRANCESCO
( syllabus)
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.

( syllabus)
The course deals with the relationship between music and society focusing on the following twofold aspects: a) “music as agency” in everyday life; b) the social construction of the carriers of musical texts and musicians. The teaching is divided into four parts, each of which will focus on different dimensions of music. The first part will provide to the students the analytical tools for understanding how and to what extent the music can contribute to construct the social meanings of experience, time and space. In everyday life music can function as technology of memory, emotions, cognition, constructing for the listeners frames, within which they are asked to experience their life. There are songs that contributed to defend human rights, others that became symbols of an epoch, historically and/or politically. Particular emphasis is placed on the study of the relations between music and individual memories, music and collective memories (e.g., in relation to social movements), and music and cultural traumas of a community. The second part will address and problematize the notion of musical genius, by showing its social aspects. It will focus on the relations among genius, ethnicity, gender and social class. The third part will focus on the impact of music on educational processes, documenting how and to what extent music is a fundamental resource in educational settings. The fourth part deals with the social transformation of music production and reception in the age of digital platforms and it analyses the emerging processes of potential colonization and creolization of the sound imagery and soundscape.

Stories of enquiries and reporters in Italy and abroad will be retraced, exploring the role of the investigative journalist today between limits, threats and new opportunities; the selection of sources; interlocutors and research tools on the ground and online, Italian and EU databases, rights of access to institutional data (Foia and similar).
We will discuss resources from datajournalism, social media, and the implications of artificial intelligence on content production and consumption, between the digital revolution and the crisis of journalism.
A focus will be devoted to the anomalous space reserved for news in Italian news, the function of these editorial choices, between audience and censorship, and the comparison with the choices and consumption of information in other advanced democracies. We will also analyse investigative journalism and big news in the perspective of our republican history: from the role of the mafias to the strategy of tension and the 'Italian mysteries', with the emphasis on memory between newsroom and civil conscience.
Elements will be provided on the communication of public institutions, major private companies and advertisers, the role of press offices, corporate communication and crisis management, up to indirect lobbying.
The interaction of news with religious denominations (from Vatican information to relations with the Jewish community, Islamic associations and other cults) will be examined, as well as the issue of secularism.
The evolution of the right to report news will be retraced: Italian deontological documents (minors, hate speech, migration, feminicides, gender equality) and EU regulations, protection of sources and whistleblowing, privacy and information rights, publication of wiretaps and press offences, threats to reporters, as well as some of the tools for verifying and debunking news, to test conspiracy and disinformation online.
The workshop will have the students directly measure themselves with reconstruction of case studies and with the writing of texts intended for the various media: from the big news to the evolution of breaking news (environmental emergencies, health, terrorism, climate change), up to current affairs pages (mafias, crime, white and constructive journalism, judicial, gossip, sport), examining styles, languages and stereotypes.

LABORATORIO DI REPORTAGE - LM
(objectives)
The training objective of the Reportage workshop is to delve into the history of investigative journalism, through the technical, aesthetic, and political analysis of two famous reportages. Students will also experience, firsthand, the design and writing of their own reportage, on a topic agreed with the professor, to be developed in synergy with the group of colleagues in the course. The workshop is thus divided into two parts: after an initial phase of in-depth historical and stylistic study on reportage, as a hybrid form straddling journalism, photography, and literature, we will move on to the assignment of individual work. The learning outcome involves the writing of an individual reportage and its eventual publication on the Stori3 website. During the workshop, meetings with reporters, photojournalists and investigative journalists are planned.
