PHILOSOPHY OF PSYCHIATRY - LM
(objectives)
The course of Philosophy of Psychiatry is part of the program in Cognitive Sciences of Communication and Action (master level) and is included among the characterizing training activities. The course will introduce some topics that arise when we treat psychiatry as a special science and deal with it using the methods and concepts of philosophy of science. This includes discussion of such issues as the explanation, the reduction and the classification of mental disorders. Upon completion of the course students - will have gained familiarity with some of the most important philosophical questions raised by mental disorders and our attempts to understand/treat them; - will be able to critically evaluate different positions on core themes of the course; - will develop a critical thought on philosophical matters involving mental disorders, and the ability to build rigorous, clear arguments using an appropriate scientific and philosophical vocabulary.

MARRAFFA MASSIMO
( syllabus)
Since its birth, psychiatry has enjoyed an ambiguous status, which confined it in a scientific and cultural zone of its own, secluded from the landscape of the medical disciplines. Still today psychiatry is characterized by a composite nature, which belongs to both the biological sciences and the human ones, straddling the interpersonal and the intrapersonal, the social and the individual. Its roots can be traced to old moral themes and new scientific problems. This fact has been a source of debate and controversy for over a century—to all appearances, it was a theoretical stalemate. This course aims to evaluate the potential of cognitive neuroscience to help psychiatry to find a way out of this impasse.

( syllabus)
This class of Neurosciences of Communication and Language will explore the neural and cognitive correlates of communication and language processing. After introducing the notion of communicative competence (both verbal and non-verbal), the focus will be shifted to the analysis of the structural and cognitive characteristics of human language highlighting the interactions among different cognitive systems (e.g., perception, memory, attention, executive functions) and language. Lastly, the most recent cognitive models of langauge production and comprehension will be discussed in light of evidence coming from neuroimaging studies of patients with brain injuries and healthy individuals.

STORIA DELLE SCIENZE DEL COMPORTAMENTO E DELLE NEUROSCIENZE -LM
(objectives)
This course aims will examine the historical development of the main themes, problems and theories of behavioural sciences and neuroscience. In particular, the course aims to foster a critical understanding of the historical development of the major themes, problems, and models of scientific explanation on behavior and psychological processes, from the earliest naturalized conceptualizations to experimental psychology and contemporary neuroscience. The evolution of the behavioural sciences and neuroscience will be discussed in its relationship with the history of philosophical ideas and other human sciences such as sociology and anthropology, in its close intertwining with the natural and biological sciences. At the same time the history of the behavioural sciences and neuroscience will be situated in the context of concrete history, such as the material, economic and techological transofrmations. Particular attention will be given to the examination of the evolution of neuroscientific models of explanation of cognitive and communication processes. The course will also examine the history of the cultural and moral impact of developments of the behavioural sciences and neuroscience with particular regard to the applications of cognitive science, neuropsychopharmacology and neurotechnologies in the 20th century. The course aims to achieve these learning outcomes: 1) an organic knowledge of the major research programs, concepts, and problems of the behavioural sciences and neuroscience; 2) the ability to contextualize, analyze, and critically interpret the ideas and models of explanation of the behavioural sciences and neuroscience also in relation to other research disciplines, material history, culture, ethics, and technological evolution; 3) the historical and theoretical tools for understanding the transformations of psychological and neuroscientic models of cognitive and communication processes. 4) the lexical and conceptual tools necessary to the study of the history of the behavioural sciences, neuroscience, and for acquiring good analytical and argumentative skills in written and oral form.
The monographic part of the program this year aims to critically illustrate the history of the contribution of the behavioral sciences and neuroscience to the understanding of the nature of desire and the processes of construction of habits and their control/dyscontrol, with particular focus on the case of pathological addictions (behavioral/ substance/affective addictions).

FUNZIONI E PATOLOGIE DEL LINGUAGGIO E DELLA COMUNICAZIONE - LM
(objectives)
The course has two main goals. The first one is to propose an education finalized to learn the main classification methods of language disorders in pathologies such as aphasia, autism, schizophrenia. The second is to illustrate how the investigation of language disorders might be used to inform theoretical models on language functioning.
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: a) use knowledge on linguistic pathologies to reflect on the more general issue of the cognitive plausibility of the theoretical models proposed to account for the functioning of language; b) read and understand experimental scientific articles written in English dealing with issues relating to the cognitive foundations of language.

ADORNETTI INES
( syllabus)
The course focuses on language pathologies, with particular attention to the deficits related to the discursive communication. Among the cases discusses, there are the communicative deficits characterizing pathologies such as autism, schizophrenia, and traumatic brain injury. In such cases, as well as in many neuropsychological and psychopathological disorders, the communicative impairments mainly concern the level of discourse and depend on deficits that primarily involve the cognitive dimension, rather than the linguistic one. Thus, the study of discourse disorders is particularly useful to investigate a more general question that is extremely relevant from a theoretical point of view: the relationships between language and cognition.

Word design and advertising - LM -
(objectives)
The course aims to define the Adv Language as a powerful tool of verbal-iconic design. A series of teaching/learning activities complete the presentation of the cognitive models and the explication of the grammar that, marking slogans, headlines, jingles, captions and trademarks, change the objects we live by. In this perspective the creative and innovative Adv Language is described as a perceptive transformer code, that has to understood through the different phases of project, realization, and representation. In this process the activities of naming regarding the products and the promotional messages are a fundamental strategy of conceptual construction. With the course, the students also acquire the specific skill for transcribing them in a repository and analyzing complex icono-texts as the tv commercial and that of using their a-grammatical rules and their non-senses in a coherent and creative way. The course is divided in three parts: 1.From the spatial design to the word design; 2.The grammar of the Adv Language between rules and semantic mappings; 3. The adv language around the bod mail-order catalogues and the trademarks of Cosmetics, Fashion, Food and Sport. Workshops, experiments and surveys improve the theorical study with aapplied training.

Derived from
20710609 Word design and advertising - LM - in Informazione, editoria, giornalismo LM-19 CATRICALA' MARIA
( syllabus)
The new title of the course “Linguistics, media and advertising” is based on a specific idea of the linguistic and the iconic configuration of the advertising messages. Over the enormous combinations of images and words, that have been elaborated between sense/nonsense, blends and portmanteau words, weasel words and implicatures, neologisms and mysterious and complex brands, it is possible to find, to count and to describe some constant rules, restrains and schemas, that command every communicative process addressed by the art directors and the copy-writers to the consumers and to the other kinds of advs targets. These rules can be ascribed to the relevant chapter of Design, and for this the course is divided in three parts: - The first part aims to explain what is adverting and to list and to illustrate the different typologies of advertising (commercial, political, institutional, advocacy, etc.), the diverse kinds of the advertisements (from posters to folders, commercials to pitch-spot, etc.) and their elements (from headline to body copy or jingle, etc.); - In the second part, the concept of design is described in the light of the cognitive pattern, the imagery definition, the visual word paradigm and the textual theory. The idea of design as process aimed to project and to create new objects and identities is fundamental for explaining the sense of texts without coherence and cohesion, as wel as those of advertising. - In the third, but not least part, the particular phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical features of the advertising messages will be analyzed examining a series of examples, classified on the base of a single trait: e.g., the kind of product, the typology of consumer, the identity of the narrator, etc. The lexical aspects and the brand names are analyzed in-depth, from several points of view, evaluating the importance of naming, as one of the most relevant strategy for creating connotative identities and the so called top ten. On this topic. it is analized the change of the old strategies linkef to interent impact-

Derived from
20710117 LABORATORIO DI FOTOGIORNALISMO in Scienze della Comunicazione L-20 Delsere Laura
( syllabus)
The course aims to explore the history and present of journalistic photography, its role as a 'window on the world' in modern visual culture and in the formation of what can be considered a 'global consciousness'.
The work of the main personalities who have marked the history of photojournalism will be retraced, as well as the relationship between myth and reality of the profession, between the aspiration to objectivity and the compromises of the editorial chain, between denunciation and censorship, from its origins to the present day. From the golden age of magazines to war photography. The current crisis of the profession. The new challenges of information through images to the aestheticisation and decontextualisation of journalistic photography in the digital age.
Elements of knowledge will be provided on the themes of digital manipulation, debunking of 'hoaxes' in the age of fakenews, political storytelling and post-truth, with an emphasis on the ethics of photography, the main codes of ethics, the legal rules for the use of images and copyright.
The workshop will make students measure themselves directly with the analysis of the snapshots of the major photojournalists and the most significant magazines, enabling them to read them also in relation to the period, the economy, the figurative art and the history of the mentality of the societies in which they were taken, so as to contribute to consolidating their overall knowledge of the modern and contemporary age.

LABORATORY: MUSIC LANGUAGE
(objectives)
The Workshop offers the opportunity to deepen the knowledge of composers, tracks and fundamental moments in the history of music, through a series of concert-lessons. All the performances are preceded by an introductory lesson of a theoretical-critical nature. It is, at the base, a review of classical concerts, but introduced by real lessons, useful to train the public, to make the authors, styles and periods easier to be understood. It is no coincidence that monographic programs are often preferred in this perspective, precisely because they lend themselves, better than others, to the didactic part and to the introduction of certain, fundamental authors of the repertoire. The concert review therefore aims to bring students closer to the great repertoire, by listening live music and explaining this way the different genres and compositional forms.

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.

20710706 LOGICS OF INFORMATION AND ACTION - LM in Informazione, editoria, giornalismo LM-19 CIUNI ROBERTO
( syllabus)
The course discusses the epistemic dynamics that result in new beliefs and new knowledge when new information is released. In particular, we discuss the effect of information release – be such information truthful or not – on the community of epistemic agents that receive the information and can mutually engage in communication exchanges. To this purpose, the course will introduce the formal representation of (individual and collective) notions of knowledge and belief, the formal representation of information release dynamics (public observation, private or semi-public observation, testimony by other agents), and it will discuss how the connection within a given group of agents (or among different groups of agents) can be relevant in the way opinions are spread within given societies of epistemic agents. In order to do so, the course will introduce one formal framework for representing (and reasoning about) the phenomena above: Dynamic Epistemic Logic, which extends the static framework of Epistemic Logic. In addition, the course will discuss some basic aspects of Judgement Aggregation Theory, Belief Merging and Network Epistemology. The approach is ‘bottom-up’: we start from puzzles, problems of reasoning, and specific phenomena we need to understand, we go to tools designed to solve or approach them, and then we move further to the theories in which such tools are defined and discussed. The course will be taught in English.

Derived from
20710737 LABORATORIO DI GIORNALISMO DI CRONACA - LM in Informazione, editoria, giornalismo LM-19 Delsere Laura
( syllabus)
The course aims to explore the history and present of news journalism today, its role in society and in shaping public opinion, against the backdrop of a growing tendency towards manipulation of the news, as well as the role of the publishing market in the drift of journalistic storytelling towards the 'infotainment'.
Stories of of enquiries and investigative journalists in Italy and abroad will be retraced, exploring their role today between limits, growing threats and new opportunities; the contribution to investigations, the selection of sources; interlocutors and research tools on the ground and online, Italian and EU databases, access rights to institutional data (Foia and similar).
We will talk about 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 role and space reserved to news in Italian news, the function of these editorial choices, between audience and censorship, the comparison with the market and the consumption of information in 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 'strategia della tensione', from the omnipresence of the 'Italian mysteries' to the role of 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 will be examined (from Vatican information to relations with the Jewish community, Islamic and other associations), as well as the issue of secularism.
The evolution of the right to report news will be covered: Italian ethical 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, in the era of conspiracy and online disinformation.
The workshop will allow students to measure themselves directly with the reconstruction of case studies and the writing of texts 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 news and constructive journalism, judiciary, gossip, sport), examining styles, languages and stereotypes.
