I Part: Introduction to medieval history

Teaching plan: I semester: 6 CFU

Description
I Part

The class will deal with, firstly, the crisis of the Roman empire and the characteristics of the “late antiquity”, in particular the birth of Christian churches and the claim of Christianism as religion of the empire. It will continue reflecting on “barbarian invasions” and on their effects on the construction of new political and religious assets up to IX century. It questions the characteristics and impact of Islam between East and West. Then, it will focus on the political and religious dimension before the Carolingian and, then, Ottonian empire. It will analyse also the rise, starting from XI century, of new social classes and new needs of leadership of Italian and European cities studying its effects on the construction of political systems, on the economic changes, on the religious and ecclesiastic life. Furthermore, it will question the birth, after the Gregorian reform, of new religious movements which would become religious Orders (in particular the Order of Friars Minor of Francis of Assisi and the Order of Friars Preacher of Domenic of Caleruega) or would be rejected by the Church as heretical movements. The class will follow, also, the birth of the national monarchies and the progressive decline of the role of the Empire and of the papacy until the transfer of the Roman Curia in Avignon at the beginning of the XIV century. It will define also the political-territorial constructions of the XV century and the importance of Humanism for the religious and cultural life of the Quattrocento.

During the class some time will be dedicated to the reading of some written testimonies which can help the comprehension of the medieval cultures and mentalities.

II Part: Religious history in Middle Ages: Approaches, sources and historiography

Teaching plan: I semester: 6 CFU

It deepens the subjects of the first module focusing on the ones less analysed.

Between the subjects which could be chosen we can list: the role of monachism in the process of Christianisation; the eremitic experiences, the feminine Religiosity, the protagonism of lay people, heresies and inquisitions, the role of the cult of saints and of the miracles, the XIII century Religious Orders, the ways of predications and the role of the prophets and of the prophetical texts in the organisation of the historical present.
If the number of students allows is it possible working in small study groups.

For the first part (6 CFU)

1) M. Bloch, Apologia della storia o Mestiere di storico, Einaudi, 2009 (several editions)
2) G. Vitolo, Il medioevo. I caratteri originali di un’età di transizione, Sansoni (with introduction)

1) Marina Benedetti (a cura di), Storia del cristianesimo II. L’età medievale (secoli VIII-XV), Carocci Editore, capp. I, II, III, V, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIV

It is recommended, but non mandatory, that non-attending students go to the teacher’s office to know useful information for their study.

Urban landscapes and heritages: a political and cultural history.
The second module aims to retrace some moments in the history of Euro-Mediterranean cities in the Middle Ages, focusing in particular on two thematic axes: 1) presence, uses, and reuses of material structures inherited from Antiquity and Late Antiquity (walls, gates, public palaces, temples, basilicas, squares, bridges); 2) the symbolic, ceremonial, and political values attributed to those structures, then paying further attention to monuments such as statues and columns, and the various memorial narratives attributed to them over time. From this point of view, medieval cities present themselves as an important laboratory of experimentation: indeed, from that laboratory emerged the concept of «urban decorum», which is now at the center of political and cultural debate. The module will involve a cross-analysis of material and written sources, among which inscriptions and the so-called «city praises» (laudes urbium) will be favored.

For attending students, the exam is based on the materials provided by the teacher and discussed in class;

For non-attending students, the exam is based on the following texts:
- D. Internullo, Una prospettiva politica sui monumenti. Il «decoro urbano» di Roma tra Medioevo e Rinascimento, in Paesaggi urbani e suburbani nella Roma dei secoli XIII-XVI, ed. A. Cortonesi, S. Passigli, Roma 2023, pp. 1-18

- J.-C. Maire Vigueur, Così belle così vicine: viaggio insolito nelle città dell'Italia medievale, Il Mulino, Bologna 2023.

In the Historian Lab: topic, issues, methods
The course aims to make students reflect critically on the characteristics of historical knowledge, on its hermeneutic values, on the different types of sources and their use, on the relationship between history and other human and social sciences, on the various methods and concepts of historical research, showing a wide range of works that are significant for historiography.
In the first part of the course focus on a critical reflection on the forms of historical knowledge and the organisation of work in the historian's laboratory: time, the relationship between history and memory, the historical dimension of human existence, the space of historical knowledge, the sources, the new historiographic studies between hermeneutics and social sciences.

MODERNISM AND MODERNISMS, 1880-1940

This course introduces students to the historical developments and key figures in the visual arts of modernism - from around 1880 to 1940 - focusing on issues such as their relationship to technology and new media (photography, cinema), political and social context, urban and natural environments, and psychic life. These artistic experiences not only helped to transform the nature of aesthetic experience, opening up new forms of sensibility, but also radically redefined the understanding of individual and collective reality.

The analysis of the different trends and poetics will also provide the basic methodology for the study of the media and languages that characterise art between the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, providing the critical tools essential for reading different types of works.

Additional texts will be indicated in the course of the lectures.

The course analyzes the relationship between art and the environment, starting from the avant-gardes to the second half of the twentieth century in which artistic intervention explodes in installations, often realized in situ or site-specific, in the exhibition space, in nature or in public space.
Although women artists have made a fundamental contribution to these practices, the historical exhibitions that have dedicated in-depth analysis to these aspects of research have almost ignored their contribution. This has led to the marginalization of figures who have only in recent years been recovered by studies through monographic studies or collective exhibitions such as "Ambienti 1956-2010. Environments by Women Artists" (ongoing at the Maxxi Museum, Rome, from 10 April to 20 October 2024). Starting from these considerations, we will focus on theoretical and methodological perspectives that substantiate current historical-artistic research in questioning the dominant patriarchal canon and will propose a reflection on the rewriting of the history of the international environment.
From the relationship between art and the environment, the course will also focus on the exhibition as an installation and immersive space and on the forms of the contemporary art museum, in the dynamics of spectatorship and multimedia and multisensory dimension.
The following topics will be analysed:
- Beyond painting and sculpture. The relationship between art and space in Futurism, Constructivism and Dada;
- Marcel Duchamp's exhibitions and curatorial practice;
- Environment and Happening;
- From Arte Povera to Land Art;
- A new ideology of the exhibition space: exhibitions and galleries between the Sixties and Seventies;
- Site specific and time specific: environmental installations as immersive spaces;
Three exhibitions compared: Lo spazio dell'immagine / The space of the image (1967), Arte/Ambiente / Environment / Art (1976), Environments 1956-2010. Environments by Women Artists (2024).

BYZANTIUM-CONSTANTINOPLE-ISTANBUL: METROPOLIS AND MYTH BETWEEN EAST AND WEST

The city of Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire, was for over a millennium a landmark for the Mediterranean and Europe, not only politically but also artistically. Its importance did not fade with the end of the Middle Ages: the new capital of the Ottoman Empire made the forms and urban landscape of the Byzantine city its own, transmitting to the present day the myth of the “new Rome” suspended between East and West.
The module aims to deepen the knowledge of the city (as an exceptional case study) in the long run, beyond the conventional chronological limits of the Middle Ages. We will first examine the features of the ancient city, from the foundation of the Greek colony of Byzantium to the Roman era. The Byzantine period (330-1453) will be explored from an urban-monumental point of view, examining its development in detail in a diachronic perspective, also taking into account what is no longer preserved. Finally, the transformations of the “Polis” par excellence after its conquest by the Ottomans will be considered, going as far as the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.
Dealing with different types of sources (archaeological and material evidence, written, graphic and photographic records), we will address specific topics such as building and decoration techniques (sculpture, painting, mosaics), the strategies of re-use, the circulation of craftsmen and models, as well as the reception of the latter “beyond Byzantium”. The teaching method is classroom based, but field trips to museums and/or seminar type activities may be envisaged.

A solid knowledge of the topics covered in class is required, in addition to the study of the following volume:

"Da Bisanzio a Istanbul", a cura di T. Velmans, Milano, Jaca Book 2015 (or previous editions).
The volume is available at the library of the Department of Humanities, Art History section, as well as open access at the following link: https://issuu.com/jacabook3/docs/from_bizantyum_to_istanbul_layout

Further bibliography may be supplied during the course.

Non-attending students:
In addition to the above mentioned text, students who cannot attend the course should supplement their preparation with a bibliography to be agreed with the instructor.

HISTORY OF MANUSCRIPT ILLUMINATION

Illuminated manuscripts are a pivotal chapter in the artistic production of the medieval millennium, serving as essential testimonies to the circulation of art works, artists, models, and styles throughout the Mediterranean. Furthermore, their history complements that of monumental painting and other figural arts, providing us with a comprehensive understanding of the artistic culture of the Middle Ages.
This module aims to offer an overview of the history of medieval illustrated books, analyzing forms and book types in connection with their function, techniques, and primary sources. The exploration will delve into fundamental aspects, including patronage, iconographies, and the interrelations between manuscript illumination and other artistic media.
The program will follow a chronological structure, from the transition from roll to codex until the invention of the printing press (4th-15th centuries). Particularly significant artifacts will be analyzed in-depth. The teaching method is traditional in class, but whenever possible, on-site lectures in local libraries preserving medieval manuscripts will be planned.

First semester.
Schedule: 6 hours/week, Monday-Wednesday-Friday, 12 noon-2 p.m.
Classroom: Ancient World Meeting Room
Course start: November 11, 2024.
Also available online, in synchronous and recorded mode.

The course examines the main data of the normative (Bible) and para-normative literary sources of Christians; the process of formation of the biblical canon, in its various configurations; the constitution of the category of “apocrypha” in the reflection of Christians and the variable normative status of works marked by this epithet. It illustrates and analyzes some of the most impactful themes in the figurative repertoire of such production, both canonical and apocryphal.

In the first unit, students will be given an introduction to the vocabulary and problems of aesthetics.
The unit will be divided into three parts:
1) Introduction to the term aesthetics, as experience and as a philosophical discipline. Concerning the birth of the term: reading and commentary by Baumgarten, Aesthetica, Introduction.
2) Art and mimesis, from antiquity to the eighteenth century: (partial) reading and commentary of Plato, Republic X; Aristotle, Poetica; Batteux, Le belle arti
3) The beautiful: reading and commentary of Kant, Analitica del bello.
All the texts are collected in the anthology Estetica, edited by P. D'Angelo, E. Franzini, G. Scaramuzza Raffaello Cortina, Milan.

The second part will explore the concept of sublime.
It will then be articulated in the following way:
1) Reading and commentary of Kant, Analitica del Sublime.
2) Explanation of the interpretation of Lyotard, with reading and commentary of selected passages of the text in the program.
3) Explanation of the interpretation by Simone Weil concerning the beauty in Kant.

The course aims to present the main characteristics of documents in the Western legal tradition, with particular regard to their value for historical studies. In this regard, the external and internal characteristics of the document will be examined, as well as the cultural landscape of the times and places of production of the main types of documents, linking them to the legal and cultural traditions of Western history. In this way diplomacy is understood as a historical science capable of acting as a fundamental critical support to historical disciplines, which find in manuscript documentation an important part of their primary sources of study. In particular, attention will be paid to the illustration of documentation of medieval Latin origin, which is particularly complex in its evaluation as a historical document; there will also be an in-depth study of the medieval documentary system of the city of Rome.
The course will include both the examination of reproductions of documents and the direct examination of manuscripts and writing materials through visits to archives and libraries.

The final exam will include the knowledge of the material provided during the course. Students are required to add the study ofthe following texts:
- Alessandro Pratesi, Genesi e forme del documento medievale, III edizione, Roma, Jouvence, 1999 (Guide, 3);
- Two essays among those distributed during the course

The first part of the course is dedicated to illustrating the main theories of mass communication developed in the sociological field and by communication scholars during the twentieth century in parallel with the development of the modern communication society and the introduction and development of the leading mass media: cinema, radio, television, internet.

The second part of the course focuses on the diffusion and the theories and paradigms of analysis of digital media, with particular attention to social networks, participatory platforms and also to the new frontier of Artificial Intelligence, in order to provide the skills for an understanding of their logic, methods of operation, social effects, in the field of consumption, cultural production, democratic participation.

Materials uploaded by teachers on the dedicated Teams platform.

The lectures are intended to provide participants with the tools to conduct an inspection on-site of a scientific nature.

The texts will be agreed with the lecturer, depending on the study site chosen by the student.

The course classes (in presence or only if necessary in videoconference) and visits, during which space will be given for practical exercise, take highly into consideration the specialized nature of the laboratory and the heterogeneity of its participants.
The archaeo-lab course focuses on the study and on the handling of the archaeological materials.
Within the frame of a long chronological timespan and of a large geographical horizon, several types of materials, together with their production processes, will be examined (from the pre-historic phase to the more recent and modern ones). A further analysis on the decoration of selected productions (in ceramic, metal or vitreous materials) will be then carried out.
The issues related to the cataloguing and classification of the archaeological findings and the compilation of the data records entry will be preliminary discussed.
Nevertheless, aspects related to the acquisition of scientific information (for the purpose of study or restoration of the materials) will be explored and a few notions about technical drawing and data digitization will be provided. The practical side of the lessons will be exploited throughout lectures, simulations, exercises and external visits.
During the course, the students will be trained in the field of the pottery studies, of the architectonic decoration (in terracotta or marble). Furthermore, they will be also introduced, thanks to the use of optical instrumentation and digital tools, to the study of the different types of materials (clay, vitreous, metal and stone).

Specific bibliography will be provided during the lessons; one to one meetings during the teacher’s office hours are recommended.

Acquisition of the knowledge on Earth system functioning and on the interactions between its different components (lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere); develop skills for understanding the earth's physical phenomena, their origins and the reasons for their geographical distribution.

The course is divided into two modules. The first (Geography I) held by prof. Carla Masetti; the second (Geography II) by Dr. Sara Carallo.
Students who need to register 6 ECTS will take the exam on the first part (or first module)
Students who need to reach 12 ECTS will have to do both parts (first and second module)
The first module (6 cfu) will provide an introduction to the knowledge of those physical environmental characteristics of our planet that constitute the natural component of the landscape.
Top topics to be covered during the I Module: Basic Concepts of Astronomical Geography; The planet Earth; The representation of the Earth's surface; The lithosphere: minerals and rocks; Stratigraphy and Tectonics; Volcanic phenomena; Seismic phenomena; The Plaque Tettonica and the Evolution of the Earth; Marine hydrography; Continental hydrography; The terrestrial atmosphere; Elements and factors of the climate; Modeling the Earth's surface.

The course aims to critically examine the origins and history of the term "Primitivism" from late Nineteenth century to European European avant-gardes by highlighting their multiple and conflicting meanings.
Central themes of the course will be the "exotic" imaginary pervading European modern art and the reception of art and ethnographic objects from non-European cultures that arrived in Italy and Europe in the years when colonialist politics increased.
Finally, exhibition projects dedicated to non-European arts will be analyzed and compared to examine their narratives, terminologies, and exhibition strategies.

Bibliographic references will be provided at the beginning of the course.

GOALS: The teaching of "Italian Cinema" is part of the training activities that characterize the degree course in Dams (path "Cinema, television and new media"). It proposes to deal with the history of Italian cinema according to a multiplicity of perspectives concerning the cultural context, economic and legislative institutions, stylistic forms, critical and theoretical reflections, the interpretation of films, the relationships of cinema with other arts and other media. The goal is to provide knowledge and methodological tools that allow the student to measure himself critically with the history of Italian cinema and with the analysis of filmic texts.

PROGRAM: From the arrival of sound to neorealism. Italian cinema in the Fascist era. Origins and development of neorealism in the political, moral, cultural and artistic climate of the second Postwar. Production and reception modes. Plurality of ideologies, poetics, and styles. Contamination of genres. Neorealistic iconography. Forms of aesthetic renovation. The critical debate of the time. Historiographic reevaluations, critical rereadings and theoretical analyses from the 60s to today.

The course offers an insight into the meaning of theatre-making and the dialogue between writing and practices through some salient cases characterising the European stage in different periods and contexts, with a focus on episodes from the modern and contemporary ages.
One part of the course focuses on Elizabethan theatre and its intertwining of stage practices and dramaturgy. Another focus is devoted to the reading of a play and the reinterpretations that take it from antiquity to the heart of the 20th century: Sophocles' Antigone will be read in its original and Brecht's version. Finally, the course will focus on some books that have inspired 20th century theatre culture, transforming the relationship between text and performance and between theory and practice. In this perspective, the experiences of Artaud, Grotowski and the Living Theatre will be examined.

The course focuses on the transition between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly following the thread of the protagonism of actresses. In this period, women in the theatre have a role that is impossible for other women: they can earn, command, be eminent artists, be points of reference.

After an introduction on the concept of urban archeology and its history, the course aims to present the system of sources, written, cartographic, iconographic and archaeological, for the reconstruction of the urban landscapes of the city of Rome and to outline the main phases of their transformations, from ancient to modern times. It will be articulated in particular in the following points:
Cartographic sources: characteristics of urban cartography; history of the cartography of the city of Rome from the Roman age to the modern age; repertoires of cartographic sources for the city of Rome.
Iconographic sources: the representation of the city in medieval, Renaissance and modern art.
Written and archival sources: function of written and archival sources for understanding the urban landscape; repertoires of written sources for the history of the city of Rome; introduction to archival research methods; Roman archives and archival funds useful for research on the urban landscape.
Archaeological sources: problems and methods of archaeological research on multi-layered urban sites, with examples taken from some sample cases.
Analysis of some building structures and types (urban walls, housing) that have most strongly marked the transformation of the urban landscape of the city, from antiquity to the modern age.
Analysis of a sample case, which simplifies, through the deepening of an area subject to an important urban archeology study, the methods and potential of this research approach: the area of the Campus Martius.

Course title 2023-2024:
Jesus, Birth and Development of Christianity in the First Seven Centuries"

Teaching articulation: 6 CFU

Semester: II


Course description:

The course aims to introduce students to the History of Christianity, starting from the figure of Jesus, framed in the cultural context of Second Temple Judaism, up to the 8th century: the presentation is not limited to the horizon of the Roman Catholic Church, but considers also the different manifestations and the multiple developments of Christianity within the first eight centuries until the emergence of Islam. Specific purpose of the course is to start the student to a critical reading of the sources, with particular attention to methodological questions and scholarly debate.
During the course, we will visit – if it will be possible – some significant places of ancient and early medieval Christianity (churches, catacombs, museums).

Sailing to Byzantium. Introduction to the Byzantine civilisation (“And therefore I have sailed the seas and come / To the holy city of Byzantium”, William Butler Yeats)
Byzantine Civilisation for the Bachelor of Arts degree is intended for students of Literature, Archaeology, Art History and History, Territory, and Global Society, and aims first and foremost to answer the question, "what is Byzantium?"? What is the importance of studying Byzantium? why Is it pertinent not only for those interested in Byzantium itself, but also to those pursuing courses in classical philology, Christianity, archaeology, art history - ancient, medieval, modern - and of course history tout court - ancient, medieval, modern, contemporary - as well as the history of religion and philosophical thought?
Following a few lectures that provide the essential geographic and diachronic coordinates of the Byzantine world, the course will focus on the main cornerstones of the eventual history of the Eastern Empire. Specifically, two fundamental elements will be highlighted: (1) the role by which Byzantium perpetuated the forms of literature, art, study, and thought that now constitute the Western European civilisation in which we live; (2) the city of Constantinople, situated at the boundary of Europe and Asia, between the "warm seas" and the "cold seas", served as a center of irradiation, convergence, encounter, and exchange between civilisations.
There will also be a number of lectures of a monographic nature, focusing on the most recent research themes developed by the chair of Byzantine Studies at Roma Tre. As part of this course, some lectures will focus on a framing of Platonism's role within the Byzantine paideia, emphasizing the personages of Hypatia of Alexandria and Synesius of Cyrene, as well as their Nachleben, as traceable through very heterogeneous sources, ranging from hagiographic works composed in the first centuries (6th-7th centuries) to exegesis and scholarly miscellany dating back to the Palaeologan period (14th century). Several lectures will focus on the phenomenon of iconoclasm, the role of images in Byzantium, and the philosophical underpinnings of the theology of the Byzantine icon and its dissemination into other cultures, particularly in Slavic cultures. A few lectures will be devoted to the Turkish conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the culminating event in the history of the millennial empire.
For the conclusion of the course, students will have the opportunity to attend an educational trip to the Peloponnese, in particular to the archaeological site of Mystras (Unesco heritage site since 1989), organized in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of Athens and the Ephorate of Antiquities of Lakonia. The main purpose of the event will be to present on site to the participants various elements illustrated during the course of the lectures.

The course aims to address the study of Latin and Greek scripts of ancient, late antique, medieval and early modern times, with particular regard to their value for historical and philological studies. In this regard, both book and document scripts will be examined, illustrating the genesis and historical events of all the main Greek and Latin scripts (also in their use in vernacular manuscripts). The module aims to provide an advanced preparation in the analysis of scripts, accompanied by historical and cultural knowledge useful for the correct interpretation of manuscript testimonies.
This course includes both the examination of reproductions of codices and documents and the direct examination of manuscripts through visits to archives and libraries. Knowledge of classical languages is recommended, but not mandatory. An appointment with the lecturer is necessary for any special cases.

The examination will include knowledge of the materials distributed during the lectures (in printed and electronic format) and exercises. The study of:

• D. Bianconi-E. Crisci-P. Degni (a c. di), Paleografia greca, Roma, Carocci, 2021 (due capitoli: I e II oppure III + IV);
• P. Cherubini, La scrittura latina: storia, forme, usi, Roma, Carocci, 2019;

• A. Petrucci, Prima lezione di paleografia, Roma – Bari, Laterza, 2002 (Universale, 811).

The course will offer an introduction to cultural anthropology using both historical and ethnographic perspectives. In the first part of the course, we will refer to specific examples from the history of anthropology to introduce some of the most important notions in anthropology and ethnography (culture, ethnic identity and classification, sex, gender, race). Discussions will be developed in order to understand how anthropological analysis and ethnographic experience deconstruct notions, classifications and identities considered as natural and inborn. The second part of the course will introduce students to the gender anthropological production and provide them with their specific theoretical skills to research on gender relations in different fields: family, reproduction, sexuality, sexual division of labor, gender difference.

(36 hours - 6 ECTS)
"Rome and the Roman world: an epigraphic civilization"
No human civilization has ever celebrated and exposed the ‘written word’ more than the Greek-Roman one. The module proposes an introduction to the study of the epigraphic landscape in Latin language in the Roman world, from the origins to the fall of the Western Empire. We proceed to the reading of inscriptions, live, but also as PDF and power point images. The texts are examined and transcribed according to the criteria of the current scientific edition. Examples of the different categories of inscriptions (sepulchral, honorary, building, sacred, etc.) are analyzed with particular attention to their historical, social and topographical context. We then study the different categories of epigraphic sources in Latin, the criteria of their ancient making and editing, their history and their modern edition (printed and digital). In addition, the students will be stimulate to consult the printed epigraphic collections and other tools of epigraphic and bibliographic research, and to consult the epigraphic databases.

TEXTS for attending students:
A. Buonopane, Manuale di epigrafia latina, Rome (Carocci) 2020 (it includes links to the Italian translation of the Latin inscriptions analysed in the text).
In addition to the manual, to be studied in its entirety, the students attending can download in PDF format from the Teams digital platform some handouts; their contents are illustrated in class and which must be studied for the exam.

Reference texts for non-attending students:
in addition to the handbook by A. Buonopane (above), which should be studied in full, also study: S. Giorcelli Bersani, Epigrafia e storia di Roma, Carocci, Rome, new edition 2015, reprint 2017.

Students can study texts in English, French, German and Spanish on the teacher's advice; it is possible to ask for taking the exam in one of these three languages.

The program of the course will be divided into 8 interdisciplinary lessons, on the main methods of analysis of archaeological and historical-artistic heritage and in 20 hours of concrete experimentation on materials of the Laboratory on false.

The workshop aims to provide basic knowledge of the research, acquisition, production, archiving, processing and use of photographic images for cultural heritage.

The course is divided into three interconnected components:
· introductory class lectures;
· class lectures and hands-on exercises on the digital processing of photographic images, with hints on graphic design for publishing;
· class seminars held by professionals and scholars with specific experience in the study, conservation and valorization of cultural heritage.

Required readings will be assigned each week.

The Laboratory aims to offer theoretical and practical knowledge on the tools for the recognition, enhancement and capitalization of cultural heritage, through the acquisition of technical and IT skills. In particular, each student will be introduced to the use of GIS software for the creation of a geodatabase for the census and geolocation of the assets under study, which also takes into account the territorialization processes that have taken place over time in the geographical context investigated.
