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 and eventual workshops/excursion.

Italy and migration in the contemporary age: population, movements, territory and environment

During the course, a reconstruction of the history of international migrations in the contemporary age is proposed with particular attention to the Italian case. The periodisation embraces the historical phase between the second half of the 19th century and the present day.
Population movements are examined starting from their contextualisation in the historical period in which they occurred, their links with the great economic, social and political transformations, and the processes of change they initiated, both in the places of departure and in the places of destination.
Particular attention is paid to the territorial and environmental impacts of mobility processes and migration policies.

The course will focus on the study of environmental movements during the latter half of the 20th century. It will examine how these movements perceived and addressed major environmental issues, transformed into political parties, and interacted with the concept of modernity.
The course will provide an overview of the emergence of conservationist and protectionist movements in 19th century Europe and the first half of the 20th century. Then the main emphasis will be on the movements that arose between the 1960s and 1990s, with a comprehensive exploration of their organizational and cultural aspects.
Specific topics that will be covered include the rise of environmental conservation associations, the emergence of ecological protests, environmental movements, and animal rights activism. The course will also analyze the development of green cultures and parties in Italy, Britain, France, and Germany within the context of their respective political systems. Furthermore, the scientific and political debates surrounding climate change will be examined.
To facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject matter, the course will involve reading and discussing relevant documents from the studied period. These documents will shed light on the political cultures, ideas, and sensitivities that gave birth to these movements and fueled internal political debates.

Synthetic reasoning between sense and concept

The course aims to investigate the theory of gesture understood as a dynamic and continuous process of synthesis between sense and concept. In particular, starting from an analysis of the notion of synthetic judgment, the theory of transcendental schematism and mathematical and geometrical synthesis in Kant, we will then move on to analyze the metaphysical and mathematical question of the infinite and continuum in Georg Cantor and Charles S. Peirce. Finally, a proposal of mathematical gesture as a cognitive process will be explored.

The program syllabus will unfold as follows:
- Analysis of the Kantian distinction between synthetic and analytic judgments
- Analysis of Transcendental Schematism and the Kantian idea of the construction of mathematical and geometrical synthesis
- Proposal of an interpretative hypothesis of transcendental schematism as an active and dynamic synthesis of sense and concept through gesture
- Examination of Peirce's proposal of a logic of continuity
- Comparison of Cantor's and Peirce's conceptions of continuum
- Proposal of a hypothesis on mathematical gesture as a cognitive process

the politics of technology

Philosophy of technology is a relatively recent discipline that deals with relationships between Technology, knowledge and society.
The course wants to answer to the following questions:
What is technology?
Is it possible to think about science without a reflexion on technology in the present technoscientific environment?
Which are the relationships between society and technology?
Which are the relevant changes introduced by technology in living styles?
Is it possible to consider technology as neutral and value and ideology free?
Technology has a relevant and permanent influence on science and on knowledge building in general but also on the definition of society and its working assets. Technical artefacts produce changes on society and are influenced by social choices, political constraints and economical investments.
In this course we will discuss the importance of philosophy of technology for philosophy itself, if we accept the idea that philosophy is a research for understanding and for acting on present. If we accept this perspective we cannot ignore the importance of technology.
Technology is created according to projects, objectives and standards on which society has no direct control, but technical objects have relevant consequences on the functioning of social practices including the epistemological ones.
Technology is a normative discipine (different from science). Its object is not the study of how things are in the world. it imposes an organization on the world in order for its devices to work correctly. It proposes and orders a regulation for society and it is in need that society imposes a regulation on its implementation: not all that it is feasible technically it is allowed.

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

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

This course is taught in English.

The course (first semester) is a reading, discussion and research seminar. The theme of the seminar will be announced at the beginning of the class.

Weekly readings, including essays in Italian and English, will be announced shortly. For both regular and “non attending” students, the readings will be available at the art history library “Luigi Grassi” (Piazza della Repubblica 10) and via Moodle.

Bibliographic research for the final paper is part of the required work and will be evaluated as such.

Seminars intend to discuss and scientifically analyze some of the most important aspects concerning Italian history of racism, their connections with contemporary forms of racial discrimination and the experiences of collective and individual resistance which constitute Italian antiracism. Racism will be always analyzed in an intersectional perspective, that is recognizing the mutual reproduction of it in the intersection with other social relationships of oppression based on gender, class, sexuality, religion.

Texts will be available to the students during the course.

This workshop aims to be an introduction to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and will be structured in two parts, one more theoretical and one more applied.
The first part will give a general presentation of the 2030 Agenda, its origins, signatory and non-signatory countries (etc.) but above all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals commonly known as the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda will be examined. Ample space will be devoted to the critical discussion of the structure of the Agenda and of the links between its various objectives, both in terms of complementarity and in terms of possible contradictions.
The second part will then explore some of the Agenda's objectives, with a particular focus on the revitalization of marginal areas. Depending on the specific interests and/or the chosen study plans, questions will be asked about the "dimensions" of the marginality of people and geographical areas and about the various forms of exploitation that can arise from them. This analysis can be conducted both in Italy and in other European countries or on other continents.
At the same time, those who follow the workshop will be guided in the collective creation of audiovisual products, to promote the dissemination of the research carried out.

Identification of material during the laboratory.

A historical perspective on religions must grasp the stratification of their presence on the territory and reconstruct their dynamics and strategies: since 2007, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas and cities have become the privileged space of contestations, conflicts, negotiation of interests, creation of symbolic resources and capital concerning religion. Innovations and trends concerning religious beliefs and practices are created in cities. Theoretical knowledge will be provided on the concept of religious space/place, the results of empirical research on the presence of religious places in increasingly plural spaces also due to migration movements and diaspora processes.

The main case study will be that of shared religious places. In particular, places where religions coexist in public spaces and in urban and suburban contexts will be analysed. In particular, studies on the relationship between space and religion: from the geography of religion to the geographies of religions.

Theories, concepts, terminology, methods related to the study of religious places and the location of the sacred in space through materiality and planning relations will be exposed and discussed.

Course title: The Museum in the contemporary debate: traditions and contradictions

Never as intensely as today, and at any latitude in the World, the museum institution is at the center of a debate that constantly questions its traditional status as a place of conservation, study and protection of collections. This course aims to offer a broad overview of the museum and of the Museum Studies (definition, statute, structure, services, spaces, professions) and to analyze some themes dear to Critical Museology, such as decolonization, delocalization, the development of museums of memory and human rights, the relationship with social and economic sciences, etc. The second part of the course will take place in the form of seminars conducted in the museums by students based on individual research. Numerous inspections are planned in the Roman museums.

Never as in recent years has Europe been at the centre of public debate: for some it is the only lifeline against nationalism and wars, for others it is the ultimate cause of all our problems and malaises, especially economic ones. The invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin's Russia in February 2022 has then relaunched in the public discourse, in addition to the classic themes of war and peace, also that of the extension to the East of the concept of Europe, which possesses an extraordinary historical depth that goes well beyond the community institutions that have emerged since the Second World War and whose knowledge in the long diachrony is an unavoidable necessity in order to correctly place the events of our continent in the framework of world history. In the first part of the course, the focus will be on the development of the notion of Europe, thoughts on Europe and European consciousness in the long term. In the second part, the events of the migrations within the continent that originated in the early modern period for religious reasons will be explored in depth: voluntary or forced, in any case the result of the process of confessionalisation and exclusion of religious diversity, and which contributed to shaping the relationship between tolerance and intolerance in the Christian West.

We will firstly define the main characteristics and contents of the Environmental humanities study area. Then we will focus on how humanities and social sciences stand before the regulatory ontology of the neoliberal growth system. This is based on an apparently contradictory mixture of vitalistic unleashing and rational anticipatory ordering, where the goal is no longer disciplining the living system and the living beings but the possibility to profit from indeterminacy, i.e. from the continuous liberation of energy.
Humanities and social sciences, increasingly dominated by a neo-materialist perspective, play an ambiguous role in this framework: on the one hand, they aim to eco-critically denounce all forms of domination of the human and the non-human; on the other hand, by working on the deconstruction of some traditional dualisms (nature/culture, nature/technology, words/things, reality/knowledge, living/non-living, etc.), they contribute to settle a de-regulation imaginary in which ecological threats, far from being opposed, are actually indulged.
With this awareness, we will try to reflect on the possible ways out, exploring the analytical, critical, and political potential of some liminal conceptual frames (the "form of life," dépense and the Bataillean general economy, degrowth and so on).

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

The course focuses on the crisis of the "developmentist" modernity, analyzing its original features and its institutional and regulative evolutions, in connection with the changing characters of social theory.
In the final part, we will try to imagine the features of a post-development society, taking inspiration from the "meridian thinking" by Franco Cassano.

The course “Media” offers an overview of the main social and cultural transformations due to the evolution of the mass media (press, radio, television) and the digital media (World Wide Web, social networks), focusing on the relationship between technology, individuals and society.
The first part is dedicated to studying the principal theories in media studies and sociology of the 20th century, starting from the elements involved in the communication process, such as sender, message, receiver, and media effects.
The second part is dedicated to the social, cultural and interpersonal transformations due to the development of the internet and social network sites, as spaces for new opportunities and, at the same time, as vehicles of new inequalities. Starting from the discussion of some case studies, such as WikiLeaks and Cambridge Analytica, the advent of ChatGPT and the use of AI, the contradictions and anomalies, advantages and opportunities offered by the new information and communication technologies, as well as the gradual transformation of the social and cultural models linked to the information and platform society will be discussed.

Materials to be defined.

The topics dealt with in the Course are:
 Sustainability in its historical development and in different contexts, from the internal/organizational one to the external/social one up to the global one covered by the Agenda2030. The Course will examine the sustainability of a role (in terms of values, knowledge, skills, and soft skills) within an organizational context; the sustainability of an organizational culture, both at a strategic, relational and communication level (mission, vision, values and the ways of sharing them within a given context), up to the concept of sustainable society.

 Cultural (self-)awareness as a self-developmental, organizational and community awareness process to be implemented through:
a) a growing consciousness of one’s own cultural identity;
b) the acquisition of management and leadership skills, to be built and constantly upgraded;

c) the setting up of activities and policies to set up educational/cultural projects aiming at social cohesion and inclusiveness, at different forms of cultural entrepreneurship, at innovative approaches to curatorial practices;
 Development of the ability of designing organizational strategies aiming at a sustainable development, based on concepts of values and value, and engaging different stakeholders;

 Role of content marketing and content co-creation in designing and implementing organizational strategies.

The Course methodology is based on discussions about readings and presentations with an active participation of students. The main project of the Course will be developed with the participatory action-research methodology. Students will carry out research activities on a topic agreed upon with an Italian cultural institution (Festival del Medioevo in Gubbio) aiming at supporting its sustainable development with reference to the Goals and Targets of the Agenda2030. In this perspective, the cultural awareness of each participant to the Course will be integrated in common reflection both at the individual and learning community levels.

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.

Reading of one or more emblematic texts of odeporic literature, commentary and group analysis of emerging themes

The group reading text is identified during the lessons of the Geography and Travel Literature course on the basis of annual contingencies (publications of texts, sources and commentary apparatus, celebrations, anniversaries, etc.)

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 and eventual workshops/excursion.

With regard to the second book ('Un mondo sostenibile in 100 foto'), exam questions can only cover the introduction 'La grande sfida' (pp.2- 19) and the conclusion 'Per rimanere aggiornati' (pp. 235-247). The rest of the book is not to be studied for the exam but is indispensable for one's general education and awareness as a citizen.

The course will focus on the study of environmental movements during the latter half of the 20th century. It will examine how these movements perceived and addressed major environmental issues, transformed into political parties, and interacted with the concept of modernity.
The course will provide an overview of the emergence of conservationist and protectionist movements in 19th century Europe and the first half of the 20th century. Then the main emphasis will be on the movements that arose between the 1960s and 1990s, with a comprehensive exploration of their organizational and cultural aspects.
Specific topics that will be covered include the rise of environmental conservation associations, the emergence of ecological protests, environmental movements, and animal rights activism. The course will also analyze the development of green cultures and parties in Italy, Britain, France, and Germany within the context of their respective political systems. Furthermore, the scientific and political debates surrounding climate change will be examined.
To facilitate a deeper understanding of the subject matter, the course will involve reading and discussing relevant documents from the studied period. These documents will shed light on the political cultures, ideas, and sensitivities that gave birth to these movements and fueled internal political debates.

Italy and migration in the contemporary age: population, movements, territory and environment

During the course, a reconstruction of the history of international migrations in the contemporary age is proposed with particular attention to the Italian case. The periodisation embraces the historical phase between the second half of the 19th century and the present day.
Population movements are examined starting from their contextualisation in the historical period in which they occurred, their links with the great economic, social and political transformations, and the processes of change they initiated, both in the places of departure and in the places of destination.
Particular attention is paid to the territorial and environmental impacts of mobility processes and migration policies.

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

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

This course is taught in English.

The course focuses on the study and analysis of images, with particular reference to the social components that intervene in the processes of signification. In the first part of the course students will be provided with analytical and methodological tools to analyze images and, in particular, photographs (mainly referring to the theories of Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag). In the second part, instead, specific attention will be given to their public and social use, with particular reference to the images of controversial past (wars, violence, terrorist attacks, migration, activism and revolutions).
Moreover, the following topics will be illustrated: a) the relation between memory and photography; b) the digital photography; c) selfie and social identities; d) photography as art; e) visual activism; f) sexuality and gender in advertisements; g) photography and representation of the Other.

The course is divided in two parts: the first one is a general introduction on the basic concepts of public communication. The included topics are: the Forms and Devices of Public Communication, the Relationship between Power and Communication, the Features of the Public Space as a space of discussion articulated on Global Communication Networks. The first part will mainly include frontal lessons supported by PowerPoint presentations.
The second part of the course explores the relationship between public communication and the media. The media will be approached as spaces of negotiation between civil society and the institutions, in which public knowledge is created and reproduced. In particular, the role of the ecosystem of digital platforms and social media will be addressed. Interested students can take part in laboratory activities focused on case studies on how old and new media platforms contribute to the narration of public and political phenomena.

The course consists of two parts. The first one introduces Cultural and Social Anthropology, the second one Ethnography.
In the first part, after briefly introducing, also form an historical perspective, the most important notions in anthropology knowledge and ethnographic methodology, the course will focus on the nature/culture relationship, examining some of the most important essays in the anthropological literature, including some on Amerindian perspectivism. Lessons will then focus on the meanings of a dichotomic representation of nature and culture, looking in particular to the notions of race, sex, gender relations, sexuality, reproduction, always in reference to specific ethnographic evidences and currents events. The cultural character of the dual opposition of nature and culture will be discussed in reference to the idea of “human nature” and naturalization processes in contexts of social and economic inequalities.
In the second part will start introducing ethnography as practice and theory of the description of social and cultural phenomena born in the history of anthropology. Ethnography will be presented as both the practice of fieldwork in anthropology and the translating of this experience and knowledge into writing. We will focus then on field research through a historical examination of the methods and reflection on them: from the expeditions season, to participatory observation, to the most recent and innovative forms, with special regard to feminist and postmodern anthropology. In the final part we will discuss specific ethnographic experiences, with special attention to the contribution of gender and feminist anthropology. In this section we will analyze the construction of the research question, the identification of the object of analysis, its empirical development, the role and relationship with the “interlocutors” and the tensions and changes that may occur during fieldwork. Classroom readings and presentations of classical and more recent anthropological ethnographies will be held in order to develop discussion and reflection about these and other questions will rise during classes.

the politics of technology

Philosophy of technology is a relatively recent discipline that deals with relationships between Technology, knowledge and society.
The course wants to answer to the following questions:
What is technology?
Is it possible to think about science without a reflexion on technology in the present technoscientific environment?
Which are the relationships between society and technology?
Which are the relevant changes introduced by technology in living styles?
Is it possible to consider technology as neutral and value and ideology free?
Technology has a relevant and permanent influence on science and on knowledge building in general but also on the definition of society and its working assets. Technical artefacts produce changes on society and are influenced by social choices, political constraints and economical investments.
In this course we will discuss the importance of philosophy of technology for philosophy itself, if we accept the idea that philosophy is a research for understanding and for acting on present. If we accept this perspective we cannot ignore the importance of technology.
Technology is created according to projects, objectives and standards on which society has no direct control, but technical objects have relevant consequences on the functioning of social practices including the epistemological ones.
Technology is a normative discipine (different from science). Its object is not the study of how things are in the world. it imposes an organization on the world in order for its devices to work correctly. It proposes and orders a regulation for society and it is in need that society imposes a regulation on its implementation: not all that it is feasible technically it is allowed.

Gender studies and art history: methodological issues and case studies
The publication of Linda Nochlin’s seminal essay Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists? in the January 1971 issue of “ArtNews” is generally considered the inaugural event of gender studies in art history. Released in full consonance with the rise of the feminist movement in the United States, and soon translated into Italian, Nochlin’s article remains a capital text, and an excellent introduction to an art history aware both of gender differences and of their political character. However, it is not entirely accurate to ascribe it to gender studies, if only because the concept of gender was not used in the humanities until the 1980s, first in anthropological and historical studies, then in philosophical reflection.
Starting from this aporia, the course aims to analyze the constitution of the field of gender studies in art history, investigate its main methodological issues and verify its assumptions on a series of case studies selected mainly, but not exclusively, within a chronology coinciding with the spread of feminist movements in Italy and Western countries.

Linda Nochlin's article was recently republished: 'Why have there been no great women artists?', Thames & Hudson, London 2021.
The complete reading list will be provided at the beginning of the course.

Synthetic reasoning between sense and concept

The course aims to investigate the theory of gesture understood as a dynamic and continuous process of synthesis between sense and concept. In particular, starting from an analysis of the notion of synthetic judgment, the theory of transcendental schematism and mathematical and geometrical synthesis in Kant, we will then move on to analyze the metaphysical and mathematical question of the infinite and continuum in Georg Cantor and Charles S. Peirce. Finally, a proposal of mathematical gesture as a cognitive process will be explored.

The program syllabus will unfold as follows:
- Analysis of the Kantian distinction between synthetic and analytic judgments
- Analysis of Transcendental Schematism and the Kantian idea of the construction of mathematical and geometrical synthesis
- Proposal of an interpretative hypothesis of transcendental schematism as an active and dynamic synthesis of sense and concept through gesture
- Examination of Peirce's proposal of a logic of continuity
- Comparison of Cantor's and Peirce's conceptions of continuum
- Proposal of a hypothesis on mathematical gesture as a cognitive process

This workshop aims to be an introduction to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and will be structured in two parts, one more theoretical and one more applied.
The first part will give a general presentation of the 2030 Agenda, its origins, signatory and non-signatory countries (etc.) but above all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals commonly known as the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda will be examined. Ample space will be devoted to the critical discussion of the structure of the Agenda and of the links between its various objectives, both in terms of complementarity and in terms of possible contradictions.
The second part will then explore some of the Agenda's objectives, with a particular focus on the revitalization of marginal areas. Depending on the specific interests and/or the chosen study plans, questions will be asked about the "dimensions" of the marginality of people and geographical areas and about the various forms of exploitation that can arise from them. This analysis can be conducted both in Italy and in other European countries or on other continents.
At the same time, those who follow the workshop will be guided in the collective creation of audiovisual products, to promote the dissemination of the research carried out.

Identification of material during the laboratory.

Never as in recent years has Europe been at the centre of public debate: for some it is the only lifeline against nationalism and wars, for others it is the ultimate cause of all our problems and malaises, especially economic ones. The invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin's Russia in February 2022 has then relaunched in the public discourse, in addition to the classic themes of war and peace, also that of the extension to the East of the concept of Europe, which possesses an extraordinary historical depth that goes well beyond the community institutions that have emerged since the Second World War and whose knowledge in the long diachrony is an unavoidable necessity in order to correctly place the events of our continent in the framework of world history. In the first part of the course, the focus will be on the development of the notion of Europe, thoughts on Europe and European consciousness in the long term. In the second part, the events of the migrations within the continent that originated in the early modern period for religious reasons will be explored in depth: voluntary or forced, in any case the result of the process of confessionalisation and exclusion of religious diversity, and which contributed to shaping the relationship between tolerance and intolerance in the Christian West.

For bureaucratic-administrative reasons, the course is divided into two modules of 6 CFU each. Despite this, the lectures will follow a thematic course common to both modules. The topics of the books in the second module (Berlusconism and one of the countries of your choice) will in fact already be addressed in the lectures on the first module. In short, the distinction is purely bureaucratic and not one of content. Attendance is therefore recommended to all for the entire duration of the course, regardless of the number of Cfu to be recorded.

For MODULE ONE the following topics should be taken with the following texts.

IN COMMON FOR ALL:
THEME:
Europe in the second half of the 20th century and the emergence of populist movements

In addition, BY CHOICE, ONE of the following themes, with related texts
- 'Italy in the international transformations between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century'.
- "Social change and changing customs in Italy between the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century.
- The political system of the 1980s, the crisis and collapse, 'Tangentopoli', the advent of Berlusconi, the new bipolar political system at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century


For MODULE TWO, the following themes and related texts should be studied
Berlusconism' as a social and political phenomenon in an international comparative perspective

The topics dealt with in the Course are:
 Sustainability in its historical development and in different contexts, from the internal/organizational one to the external/social one up to the global one covered by the Agenda2030. The Course will examine the sustainability of a role (in terms of values, knowledge, skills, and soft skills) within an organizational context; the sustainability of an organizational culture, both at a strategic, relational and communication level (mission, vision, values and the ways of sharing them within a given context), up to the concept of sustainable society.

 Cultural (self-)awareness as a self-developmental, organizational and community awareness process to be implemented through:
a) a growing consciousness of one’s own cultural identity;
b) the acquisition of management and leadership skills, to be built and constantly upgraded;

c) the setting up of activities and policies to set up educational/cultural projects aiming at social cohesion and inclusiveness, at different forms of cultural entrepreneurship, at innovative approaches to curatorial practices;
 Development of the ability of designing organizational strategies aiming at a sustainable development, based on concepts of values and value, and engaging different stakeholders;

 Role of content marketing and content co-creation in designing and implementing organizational strategies.

The Course methodology is based on discussions about readings and presentations with an active participation of students. The main project of the Course will be developed with the participatory action-research methodology. Students will carry out research activities on a topic agreed upon with an Italian cultural institution (Festival del Medioevo in Gubbio) aiming at supporting its sustainable development with reference to the Goals and Targets of the Agenda2030. In this perspective, the cultural awareness of each participant to the Course will be integrated in common reflection both at the individual and learning community levels.

Substitute or supplementary readings could be indicated or agreed upon at the beginning of the Course.

The 2023/2024 political communication course, in addition to the traditional fields of study, has an important moment of study and research in the European elections of May 2024.
The first part of the course is dedicated to the transformations within the modern public and political scene and to the most relevant theoretical contributions to political communication. The main areas of transformation of Italian political communication and its actors and the evolution of electoral campaigns will be examined.
The second part, dedicated to visual politics, analyzes the history and evolution of political graphics and aesthetic codes of Italian political propaganda from 1945 to today and the contacts and influences with the main artistic currents. This part includes the analysis and study of new aesthetics related to the spread of digital communication and the use of social networks.
On the occasion of the 2024 European elections, which will be held simultaneously with the course, students will be able to be involved in monitoring the electoral campaign and in meetings and workshops on the theme of the European elections.
An integral part of the course is the viewing and analysis of a wide range of original audiovisual propaganda materials such as films, commercials, television programs, posters, and web cards, which constitute teaching materials and the subject of examination.

The texts of the course will be communicated at the beginning of the lessons

The history of our language can also be read and studied using dictionaries which have described and codified it. The module focuses on the diachronic and synchronic study of the Italian lexicon through lexicography. After having clarified the basic terms of the discipline, we will retrace the history of dictionaries in Italy, from its origins to the present day; typologies and compositional structures of some important dictionaries will be examined.

Course title: The Museum in the contemporary debate: traditions and contradictions

Never as intensely as today, and at any latitude in the World, the museum institution is at the center of a debate that constantly questions its traditional status as a place of conservation, study and protection of collections. This course aims to offer a broad overview of the museum and of the Museum Studies (definition, statute, structure, services, spaces, professions) and to analyze some themes dear to Critical Museology, such as decolonization, delocalization, the development of museums of memory and human rights, the relationship with social and economic sciences, etc. The second part of the course will take place in the form of seminars conducted in the museums by students based on individual research. Numerous inspections are planned in the Roman museums.

In addition to what is indicated here, the non-attending student will have to choose and study two further texts from points a) and / or b).

A historical perspective on religions must grasp the stratification of their presence on the territory and reconstruct their dynamics and strategies: since 2007, more than half of the world's population lives in urban areas and cities have become the privileged space of contestations, conflicts, negotiation of interests, creation of symbolic resources and capital concerning religion. Innovations and trends concerning religious beliefs and practices are created in cities. Theoretical knowledge will be provided on the concept of religious space/place, the results of empirical research on the presence of religious places in increasingly plural spaces also due to migration movements and diaspora processes.

The main case study will be that of shared religious places. In particular, places where religions coexist in public spaces and in urban and suburban contexts will be analysed. In particular, studies on the relationship between space and religion: from the geography of religion to the geographies of religions.

Theories, concepts, terminology, methods related to the study of religious places and the location of the sacred in space through materiality and planning relations will be exposed and discussed.

We will firstly define the main characteristics and contents of the Environmental humanities study area. Then we will focus on how humanities and social sciences stand before the regulatory ontology of the neoliberal growth system. This is based on an apparently contradictory mixture of vitalistic unleashing and rational anticipatory ordering, where the goal is no longer disciplining the living system and the living beings but the possibility to profit from indeterminacy, i.e. from the continuous liberation of energy.
Humanities and social sciences, increasingly dominated by a neo-materialist perspective, play an ambiguous role in this framework: on the one hand, they aim to eco-critically denounce all forms of domination of the human and the non-human; on the other hand, by working on the deconstruction of some traditional dualisms (nature/culture, nature/technology, words/things, reality/knowledge, living/non-living, etc.), they contribute to settle a de-regulation imaginary in which ecological threats, far from being opposed, are actually indulged.
With this awareness, we will try to reflect on the possible ways out, exploring the analytical, critical, and political potential of some liminal conceptual frames (the "form of life," dépense and the Bataillean general economy, degrowth and so on).

Travel’s reports of the past are a preferred source for the construction of geographical thought and culture. Particularly between the late Middle Ages and Modern Age, travel’s relations allows to retrace the complex process of widening of Europeans’ geographical horizon. In western society the relationship between geography and travel’s reports has changed over the centuries, to the need to sort and reprocess the information gathered, to create a geographical knowledge built on valid rules, correlations between phenomena and rational criteria for classification. During the course will be analyzed practices of travel, travelers and travel’s reports, in their various types. Will also be considered some examples of travel’s reports that, throughout history, have marked the collective imagination and the construction of the world’s modern image. Testimony of travel’s experiences, travel literature has become ever more an instrument of knowledge of the territory and of human communities, through understanding the other and the elsewhere, but also the culture that looks at the other and at the space, for as this was and still is organized on the basis of many human needs (exploration, knowledge, tourism, etc.).
The exam program is valid from the first session following the course.

The exam program will be valid from the 2024 summer session.

The course focuses on the crisis of the "developmentist" modernity, analyzing its original features and its institutional and regulative evolutions, in connection with the changing characters of social theory.
In the final part, we will try to imagine the features of a post-development society, taking inspiration from the "meridian thinking" by Franco Cassano.
Teaching language: English.

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.
