INTERNET HISTORY AS A CULTURAL ARTIFACT
INTERNET HISTORY IS ONE OF THE MOST STUDIED ISSUES OF THE HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY.
THE COURSE'S AIM IS TO ANALYZE THE HISTORY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ITS SOCIAL AND CULTURAL MEANING.
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT ONLY TOOLS FOR COMMUNICATION, BUT MAINLY DEVICES WHICH MODIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PEOPLE WHO USE THEM.
THE CULTURAL ARTIFACT CHARACTER OF THE NETWORK AND OF ITS SERVICES, HAS NOT YET BEEN DEEPENED IN THE LITERATURE ON THE SUBJECT.
IN THIS COURSE WE WILL LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE NETWORK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE TRANSFORMATION POWER IT DEVELOPED IN THE REARRANGEMENT OF THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS, AT LEAST IN THE RICHEST PART OF THE WORLD IN WHICH ACCESS TO THE NETWORK IS GUARANTEED FROM SOCIO-POLITICAL CONDITIONS.
THE COURSE WILL TOUCH BOTH THE HISTORY OF THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT VIA A GENEALOGIC METHOD AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS PROVOKING OR COULD PROVOKE IN TERMS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS.
THE COMMUNICATIVE EMPOWERMENT, IN FACT, OFFERS NEW FREEDOMS AND OPEN SPACES BUT AT THE SAME TIME CAN CAUSE THE AGENCY OF NEW CONTROL POWERS AND NEW DEPENDENCIES FROM THE DEVICES.
ONLY THE INCREASE OF INFORMATION AND MEDIA LITERACY COULD DEFEND US FROM RISKS AND PUSH US TOWARD THE EXPLOITATION OF THE ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES.

The course treats the issue of linguistic pathologies with a particular focus on deficits involving the discursive level of communication. The main goal is to show how language deficits represent a key to highlight to the essential characteristics of human communication. Among the cases examined, autism, schizophrenia, head trauma and aphasia will be deeply discussed.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

Course title: "Contrastive linguistics, mediation and translation Italian-German"

The course focuses, on one side, on specific phenomena of the German language which are interesting from a contrastive point of view and which causes often interferences and errors in second language learning and interlingual mediation and translation. On the other side we will do concrete exercises in mediation and translation Italian-German and reflect about specific linguistic phenomena. We will emphasise also the use of dictionaries.

N.B. This course is also recommended for students of the European Master in Lexicography.

Environmental policy and sustainability. The course presents a brief overview of the main schools of thought in environmental matters, following their development especially in recent decades. The course discusses then about methods and tools of environmental policy, illustrates the geography of environmental resources and examines the role of the actors in environmental policy at different geographical scales, from global to local. The problems are also analyzed through some case studies related to different parts of the world. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.

In recent decades, the theme of local development has assumed a central role in the development debate. The lessons will present the concepts and methods of local development, understood not only as a growth process for an aggregation of local companies, but as a diversified territorial development process based on self-organizing capacity of local networks of actors and on the sustainable exploitation of tangible and intangible resources available in a certain territory, including the social and cultural spheres. The high expectations of the early days on the potential of local development has recently been followed by a less optimistic phase. Today's challenge is to avoid the trap of localism and rethink local development even in new terms, to give cities and territories the ability to respond to economic, social and environmental pressures of the globalized world. Some case studies in Italy not only will help to deepen some of the addressed issues. There will be lectures, eventual seminars and an educational excursion.

A remark on the history of journalism and journalists.
The kind of written journalism, broadcasting and on line, and their interactions.
Making information in real time: from "GRANDI FIRME" to social media and to partecipative journalism.
The kinds of journalism, from report to investigation: what they were and how they are changed. How born and how die a news in the age of spectacularization.
How the italian journalism is changed, and how the role of the journalists is changed, from years seventy of the nine hundred to today.
Questions about the future of information.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

The course will adopt an international and comparative approach to women’s history in the Western World. It will encompass both methodological issues, using tools such as the biography or the category of gender, and the study of the evolution of women’s social position and of the process of their emancipation in the contemporary age. Students will be able to analyze themes and events of their interest through discussions and individual or group presentations during classes, and choose most of the texts (available also in English) for the final exam.

After having provided an overview of the historical and cultural context of the XVI and XVII centuries in France and after having highlighted some of the main aspects of the period, the course will focus on the reading and analysis of three texts: La Princesse de Clèves, Candide and Les Liasons dangereuses, with the purpose of outilining the evolution of the novel as regards its narrative strategies, stylistic changes and transition of genre.

M. Bertini (a cura di), Beaubourg. Auteurs, textes, genres de la littérature française. Le XVII et XVIIIe siècle.
J. Rousset, Forme et signification, Paris, Corti, 1962 (only the parts concerning the XVII and XVIII centuries).
Texts: Three novels to be chosen among the following : Diderot, Jacques le fataliste or La Religieuse ; Laclos, Les Liaisons dangeureuses; Madame de La Fayette, La Princesse de Clèves; Rousseau, La Nouvelle Héloïse (selection of 80 letters from all the 6 parts of the novel); Voltaire, Candide.

The main aim of the course is to engage in a detailed study of modernism, paying particular attention to Irish modernism and to a number of signficant Irish modernist writers. The first decades of the twentieth century saw great changes in many fields. The hugh technological advances that marked the start of the century and the dramatic realities of the First World War changed the world and the perception of the world. The modernists felt the need to engage in a thorough overhaul of the means of literary expression in order to find a way to give adequate expression to the new modern world in which they lived. They questioned and challenged the traditions of the past and subjected them to new literary treatments. This process was further complicated in Ireland because it was closely linked to the effort to use culture to create a new definition of Irishness within the country’s complex political context of decolonization.

IN THIS COURSE WE WILL LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE NETWORK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE TRANSFORMATION POWER IT DEVELOPED IN THE REARRANGEMENT OF THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS, AT LEAST IN THE RICHEST PART OF THE WORLD IN WHICH ACCESS TO THE NETWORK IS GUARANTEED FROM SOCIO-POLITICAL CONDITIONS.
THE COURSE WILL TOUCH BOTH THE HISTORY OF THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT VIA A GENEALOGIC METHOD AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS PROVOKING OR COULD PROVOKE IN TERMS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS.
THE COMMUNICATIVE EMPOWERMENT, IN FACT, OFFERS NEW FREEDOMS AND OPEN SPACES BUT AT THE SAME TIME CAN CAUSE THE AGENCY OF NEW CONTROL POWERS AND NEW DEPENDENCIES FROM THE DEVICES.
ONLY THE INCREASE OF INFORMATION AND MEDIA LITERACY COULD DEFEND US FROM RISKS AND PUSH US TOWARD THE EXPLOITATION OF THE ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES.

The course treats the issue of linguistic pathologies with a particular focus on deficits involving the discursive level of communication. The main goal is to show how language deficits represent a key to highlight to the essential characteristics of human communication. Among the cases examined, autism, schizophrenia, head trauma and aphasia will be deeply discussed.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

Course title: "Contrastive linguistics, mediation and translation Italian-German"

The course focuses, on one side, on specific phenomena of the German language which are interesting from a contrastive point of view and which causes often interferences and errors in second language learning and interlingual mediation and translation. On the other side we will do concrete exercises in mediation and translation Italian-German and reflect about specific linguistic phenomena. We will emphasise also the use of dictionaries.

N.B. This course is also recommended for students of the European Master in Lexicography.

Environmental policy and sustainability. The course presents a brief overview of the main schools of thought in environmental matters, following their development especially in recent decades. The course discusses then about methods and tools of environmental policy, illustrates the geography of environmental resources and examines the role of the actors in environmental policy at different geographical scales, from global to local. The problems are also analyzed through some case studies related to different parts of the world. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.

In recent decades, the theme of local development has assumed a central role in the development debate. The lessons will present the concepts and methods of local development, understood not only as a growth process for an aggregation of local companies, but as a diversified territorial development process based on self-organizing capacity of local networks of actors and on the sustainable exploitation of tangible and intangible resources available in a certain territory, including the social and cultural spheres. The high expectations of the early days on the potential of local development has recently been followed by a less optimistic phase. Today's challenge is to avoid the trap of localism and rethink local development even in new terms, to give cities and territories the ability to respond to economic, social and environmental pressures of the globalized world. Some case studies in Italy not only will help to deepen some of the addressed issues. There will be lectures, eventual seminars and an educational excursion.

A remark on the history of journalism and journalists.
The kind of written journalism, broadcasting and on line, and their interactions.
Making information in real time: from "GRANDI FIRME" to social media and to partecipative journalism.
The kinds of journalism, from report to investigation: what they were and how they are changed. How born and how die a news in the age of spectacularization.
How the italian journalism is changed, and how the role of the journalists is changed, from years seventy of the nine hundred to today.
Questions about the future of information.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

The course will adopt an international and comparative approach to women’s history in the Western World. It will encompass both methodological issues, using tools such as the biography or the category of gender, and the study of the evolution of women’s social position and of the process of their emancipation in the contemporary age. Students will be able to analyze themes and events of their interest through discussions and individual or group presentations during classes, and choose most of the texts (available also in English) for the final exam.

The main aim of the course is to engage in a detailed study of modernism, paying particular attention to Irish modernism and to a number of signficant Irish modernist writers. The first decades of the twentieth century saw great changes in many fields. The hugh technological advances that marked the start of the century and the dramatic realities of the First World War changed the world and the perception of the world. The modernists felt the need to engage in a thorough overhaul of the means of literary expression in order to find a way to give adequate expression to the new modern world in which they lived. They questioned and challenged the traditions of the past and subjected them to new literary treatments. This process was further complicated in Ireland because it was closely linked to the effort to use culture to create a new definition of Irishness within the country’s complex political context of decolonization.

Literature and ethics in medieval England

The course will focus on the analysis of medieval English texts, with references to other Germanic literary works. Special attention will be paid to those passages related to duplicity and flattery in works such as The Canterbury Tales and Piers Plowman. The texts will serve as the starting point for outlining the main characteristics of the literary and cultural milieu in which they were produced and for widening the students’ knowledge in the field of diachronic linguistics and textual tradition. Students will learn how to use the principle bibliographical instruments for carrying out individual researches and to set a text within its literary genre.
Seminars, with students’ presentations of individual researches, will be held. Visits to historical libraries will be planned.

This course is intended to analyse, within the Generative framework, the interplay ("interface") between syntax, prosody and discourse grammar, in relation to a hierarchy of functional projections in the left periphery of the sentence, dedicated to the encoding of information-structural features and determining the interpretation of (different types of) Topic and Focus. In particular the course will focus on three major issues:
(1) the interpretation of different types of focus (informative, corrective, contrastive, mirative) and its formal realization, both from a prosodic and a syntactic viewpoint (in situ vs. fronted, in matrix vs. embedded clauses) in typological diverse languages. Special attention will be dedicated to postverbal subject in Romance languages.
(2) The creation of topical chains and the interpretation of null subject comparing consistent, partial and radical pro-drop languages.
(3) The acquisition of the competences connected to the issues dealt with in (1) and (2) in children from 3 to 8 years old.

The critical edition of medieval romance texts

The course will address the main methodological problems in ecdotics and textual criticism with regard to medieval romance narrative, through examples in two or three Romance languages. It will therefore examine the process of establishing a critical text: the handwritten tradition, the importance of variants and error, the building of a stemma codicum, the critical edition of a text.

THE CULTURAL ARTIFACT CHARACTER OF THE NETWORK AND OF ITS SERVICES, HAS NOT YET BEEN DEEPENED IN THE LITERATURE ON THE SUBJECT.
IN THIS COURSE WE WILL LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE NETWORK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE TRANSFORMATION POWER IT DEVELOPED IN THE REARRANGEMENT OF THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS, AT LEAST IN THE RICHEST PART OF THE WORLD IN WHICH ACCESS TO THE NETWORK IS GUARANTEED FROM SOCIO-POLITICAL CONDITIONS.
THE COURSE WILL TOUCH BOTH THE HISTORY OF THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT VIA A GENEALOGIC METHOD AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS PROVOKING OR COULD PROVOKE IN TERMS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS.
THE COMMUNICATIVE EMPOWERMENT, IN FACT, OFFERS NEW FREEDOMS AND OPEN SPACES BUT AT THE SAME TIME CAN CAUSE THE AGENCY OF NEW CONTROL POWERS AND NEW DEPENDENCIES FROM THE DEVICES.
ONLY THE INCREASE OF INFORMATION AND MEDIA LITERACY COULD DEFEND US FROM RISKS AND PUSH US TOWARD THE EXPLOITATION OF THE ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES.

The course treats the issue of linguistic pathologies with a particular focus on deficits involving the discursive level of communication. The main goal is to show how language deficits represent a key to highlight to the essential characteristics of human communication. Among the cases examined, autism, schizophrenia, head trauma and aphasia will be deeply discussed.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

Course title: "Contrastive linguistics, mediation and translation Italian-German"

The course focuses, on one side, on specific phenomena of the German language which are interesting from a contrastive point of view and which causes often interferences and errors in second language learning and interlingual mediation and translation. On the other side we will do concrete exercises in mediation and translation Italian-German and reflect about specific linguistic phenomena. We will emphasise also the use of dictionaries.

N.B. This course is also recommended for students of the European Master in Lexicography.

Environmental policy and sustainability. The course presents a brief overview of the main schools of thought in environmental matters, following their development especially in recent decades. The course discusses then about methods and tools of environmental policy, illustrates the geography of environmental resources and examines the role of the actors in environmental policy at different geographical scales, from global to local. The problems are also analyzed through some case studies related to different parts of the world. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.

In recent decades, the theme of local development has assumed a central role in the development debate. The lessons will present the concepts and methods of local development, understood not only as a growth process for an aggregation of local companies, but as a diversified territorial development process based on self-organizing capacity of local networks of actors and on the sustainable exploitation of tangible and intangible resources available in a certain territory, including the social and cultural spheres. The high expectations of the early days on the potential of local development has recently been followed by a less optimistic phase. Today's challenge is to avoid the trap of localism and rethink local development even in new terms, to give cities and territories the ability to respond to economic, social and environmental pressures of the globalized world. Some case studies in Italy not only will help to deepen some of the addressed issues. There will be lectures, eventual seminars and an educational excursion.

A remark on the history of journalism and journalists.
The kind of written journalism, broadcasting and on line, and their interactions.
Making information in real time: from "GRANDI FIRME" to social media and to partecipative journalism.
The kinds of journalism, from report to investigation: what they were and how they are changed. How born and how die a news in the age of spectacularization.
How the italian journalism is changed, and how the role of the journalists is changed, from years seventy of the nine hundred to today.
Questions about the future of information.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

The main aim of the course is to engage in a detailed study of modernism, paying particular attention to Irish modernism and to a number of signficant Irish modernist writers. The first decades of the twentieth century saw great changes in many fields. The hugh technological advances that marked the start of the century and the dramatic realities of the First World War changed the world and the perception of the world. The modernists felt the need to engage in a thorough overhaul of the means of literary expression in order to find a way to give adequate expression to the new modern world in which they lived. They questioned and challenged the traditions of the past and subjected them to new literary treatments. This process was further complicated in Ireland because it was closely linked to the effort to use culture to create a new definition of Irishness within the country’s complex political context of decolonization.

INTERNET HISTORY AS A CULTURAL ARTIFACT
INTERNET HISTORY IS ONE OF THE MOST STUDIED ISSUES OF THE HISTORY OF TECHNOLOGY.
THE COURSE'S AIM IS TO ANALYZE THE HISTORY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ITS SOCIAL AND CULTURAL MEANING.
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT ONLY TOOLS FOR COMMUNICATION, BUT MAINLY DEVICES WHICH MODIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PEOPLE WHO USE THEM.
THE CULTURAL ARTIFACT CHARACTER OF THE NETWORK AND OF ITS SERVICES, HAS NOT YET BEEN DEEPENED IN THE LITERATURE ON THE SUBJECT.
IN THIS COURSE WE WILL LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE NETWORK FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE TRANSFORMATION POWER IT DEVELOPED IN THE REARRANGEMENT OF THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS, AT LEAST IN THE RICHEST PART OF THE WORLD IN WHICH ACCESS TO THE NETWORK IS GUARANTEED FROM SOCIO-POLITICAL CONDITIONS.
THE COURSE WILL TOUCH BOTH THE HISTORY OF THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT VIA A GENEALOGIC METHOD AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS PROVOKING OR COULD PROVOKE IN TERMS OF OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS.
THE COMMUNICATIVE EMPOWERMENT, IN FACT, OFFERS NEW FREEDOMS AND OPEN SPACES BUT AT THE SAME TIME CAN CAUSE THE AGENCY OF NEW CONTROL POWERS AND NEW DEPENDENCIES FROM THE DEVICES.
ONLY THE INCREASE OF INFORMATION AND MEDIA LITERACY COULD DEFEND US FROM RISKS AND PUSH US TOWARD THE EXPLOITATION OF THE ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES.

The course treats the issue of linguistic pathologies with a particular focus on deficits involving the discursive level of communication. The main goal is to show how language deficits represent a key to highlight to the essential characteristics of human communication. Among the cases examined, autism, schizophrenia, head trauma and aphasia will be deeply discussed.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

In recent decades, the theme of local development has assumed a central role in the development debate. The lessons will present the concepts and methods of local development, understood not only as a growth process for an aggregation of local companies, but as a diversified territorial development process based on self-organizing capacity of local networks of actors and on the sustainable exploitation of tangible and intangible resources available in a certain territory, including the social and cultural spheres. The high expectations of the early days on the potential of local development has recently been followed by a less optimistic phase. Today's challenge is to avoid the trap of localism and rethink local development even in new terms, to give cities and territories the ability to respond to economic, social and environmental pressures of the globalized world. Some case studies in Italy not only will help to deepen some of the addressed issues. There will be lectures, eventual seminars and an educational excursion.

A remark on the history of journalism and journalists.
The kind of written journalism, broadcasting and on line, and their interactions.
Making information in real time: from "GRANDI FIRME" to social media and to partecipative journalism.
The kinds of journalism, from report to investigation: what they were and how they are changed. How born and how die a news in the age of spectacularization.
How the italian journalism is changed, and how the role of the journalists is changed, from years seventy of the nine hundred to today.
Questions about the future of information.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

The main aim of the course is to engage in a detailed study of modernism, paying particular attention to Irish modernism and to a number of signficant Irish modernist writers. The first decades of the twentieth century saw great changes in many fields. The hugh technological advances that marked the start of the century and the dramatic realities of the First World War changed the world and the perception of the world. The modernists felt the need to engage in a thorough overhaul of the means of literary expression in order to find a way to give adequate expression to the new modern world in which they lived. They questioned and challenged the traditions of the past and subjected them to new literary treatments. This process was further complicated in Ireland because it was closely linked to the effort to use culture to create a new definition of Irishness within the country’s complex political context of decolonization.

Course title: "Mediation and translation Italian-German"

This course focuses on mediation and translation from Italian to German. After a short introduction in terminological aspects of mediation and translation we will concentrate on concrete exercises. Different strategies and resources, especially parallel texts, will be used. A special focus will be on word combinations like collocations, chunks, ecpressions and idioms. Metalinguistic reflection will be an important element of the course.

The critical edition of medieval romance texts

The course will address the main methodological problems in ecdotics and textual criticism with regard to medieval romance narrative, through examples in two or three Romance languages. It will therefore examine the process of establishing a critical text: the handwritten tradition, the importance of variants and error, the building of a stemma codicum, the critical edition of a text.

Literature and ethics in medieval England

The course will focus on the analysis of medieval English texts, with references to other Germanic literary works. Special attention will be paid to those passages related to duplicity and flattery in works such as The Canterbury Tales and Piers Plowman. The texts will serve as the starting point for outlining the main characteristics of the literary and cultural milieu in which they were produced and for widening the students’ knowledge in the field of diachronic linguistics and textual tradition. Students will learn how to use the principle bibliographical instruments for carrying out individual researches and to set a text within its literary genre.
Seminars, with students’ presentations of individual researches, will be held. Visits to historical libraries will be planned.

This course is intended to analyse, within the Generative framework, the interplay ("interface") between syntax, prosody and discourse grammar, in relation to a hierarchy of functional projections in the left periphery of the sentence, dedicated to the encoding of information-structural features and determining the interpretation of (different types of) Topic and Focus. In particular the course will focus on three major issues:
(1) the interpretation of different types of focus (informative, corrective, contrastive, mirative) and its formal realization, both from a prosodic and a syntactic viewpoint (in situ vs. fronted, in matrix vs. embedded clauses) in typological diverse languages. Special attention will be dedicated to postverbal subject in Romance languages.
(2) The creation of topical chains and the interpretation of null subject comparing consistent, partial and radical pro-drop languages.
(3) The acquisition of the competences connected to the issues dealt with in (1) and (2) in children from 3 to 8 years old.

The theme of exile in medieval English and German literary texts.

The aim of the course is to investigate how medieval authors represented and reflected upon the theme of exile. Literary texts belonging to different genres (elegies, heroic poems, hagiographical texts, romances) will be analyzed from a historical, literary and philological perspective. Special attention will be given to the identification of sources and of the recurring motifs in descriptions of seclusion and isolation and to intertextual relations. Students will be given the opportunity to learn the main stages of the development of English and German.

Seminars, with students’ presentations of individual researches, will be held. Visits to historical libraries will be planned.
