Particular attention will be devoted to the positions occupied by Japan and China during the Cold War years, as well as to their interactions both with the other regional actors, the two Superpowers and Europe. The analysis of the factors generated by the bipolar order will facilitate the identification of continuity and discontinuity lines in the broader context of globalization.

The course provides the critical notions and tools for the study of the political history of the so-called "century of nationalities", indispensable for the understanding of contemporary Europe. It illustrates the establishment or reconstitution of the nation states in Central and Eastern Europe and the unification process of Germany and Italy. The analysis will embrace the whole "long nineteenth century" (from the French Revolution to the outbreak of the First World War).
Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the revolutions of 1848, as well as to their premises and consequences. Necessary introduction to this analysis will be the discussion of the movements of "national rebirth" of a good part of the European peoples. Finally, the unification of Germany and Italy and the establishment of national states in Central and Eastern Europe will be addressed following the progressive crisis and then the collapse of the system of the great multiethnic empires (Austrian, Russian and Ottoman). The use of a comparative method will be continuous in order to find out common features of several national histories but also the peculiarities that differentiate them.

Students attending classes:
- Derek Beales – Eugenio Biagini, Il Risorgimento e l’unificazione dell’Italia, Bologna, il Mulino, 2005
- John Breuilly, La formazione dello Stato nazionale tedesco, Bologna, il Mulino, 2004

Students not attending classes:
- Derek Beales – Eugenio Biagini, Il Risorgimento e l’unificazione dell’Italia, Bologna, il Mulino, 2005
- John Breuilly, La formazione dello Stato nazionale tedesco, Bologna, il Mulino, 2004
- Antonio D’Alessandri, Sulle vie dell’esilio. I rivoluzionari romeni dopo il 1848, Lecce, Argo, 2015

The course has two main goals.
First, to provide a basic historical framework to understand the complex processes of internazionalization that have took place in the early modern period (c. 1450-1800), and have contributed to development of a permanent system of geopolitical, economic and trans-cultural interaction among the world’s different countries and societies.
Second, to introduce students to the key historiographical debates on globalization and global history, familiarising them with the main concepts, terminology and theories involved in these debates, so as to to develop a critical approach to history, its narratives, and its methodological features.

The course is divided in two parts.
In the first one, the teacher will outline the main methodological issues and historical events related to the idea of the emergence, in the early modern period, of the first forms of globalization.
The second part will be dedicated to the reading and discussion of selected sources and historiographical texts. Students will be given the opportunity to make individual or group presentations on a specific topic (or book) agreed upon in advance with the teacher.
The course by no means attempts to cover all the aspects of globalization’s history and interpretations. It would rather focus on the “global history” approaches, that look beyond the Eurocentric and Nation-State theoretical framework and, instead of political-institutional or economic-based explanations, privilege topics such as the history of anthropological and cultural exchanges, the history of migrations and religious diasporas, the “connected” and micro-histories of economic, cultural, political and religious brokers (ambassadors, merchants, missionaries, soldiers, travellers), whose agency greatly contributed to the construction of a global world.

Attending students will prepare the final exam on the basis of the readings included in a Syllabus that will be circulated during the course.
Non attending students are invited to contact the teacher in due advance so as to define a specific programme.

The course aims to acquire the basic scientific-disciplinary skills aimed at identifying the main historical issues that characterize the European history in the Early Modern Age. The objective in particular is to develop in students the critical knowledge of the main cultural, religious and political moments that marked the transition from the Europe of the religious wars to the Europe of tolerance. The aim of the course is to teach the student to understand the complexity of historical phenomena and the intertwining of its institutional, political, religious, social and cultural dimensions.

In the first part of the course students will be introduced to the main paradigms, methodologies and works of the sociology and history of media. We will read and discuss passages from the manual written by Mario Ricciardi, "La comunicazione. Maestri e paradigmi" (Roma-Bari, Laterza, 2012). Students will have to write weekly reading responses on the assigned readings and engage in both online and offline discussions guided by the instructor.
In the second part of the course, these prevalently Western theories and authors will be reexamined and criticized in the light of completely different approaches. We will introduce the concept of “nonviolent communication”, elaborated and practiced, between others, by the Mahatma Gandhi. Writers, intellectuals, social and political activists like Danilo Dolci, Aldo Capitini, Paulo Freire, Frantz Fanon, Houria Bouteldja, Lanza Del Vasto, Vandana Shiva and others will be the starting point for analyzing and finally deconstructing the aggressive and manipulative Western communication forms and techniques that dominate the present media scenario.
The third part of the course, if the sanitary situation will allow it, will be a practical hands-on session. Students will be asked to analyze their own online interactions, as to identify implicit and explicit "violent codes" (i.e. culturally inappropriate expressions or biases, etc.) in their online language and posts.
Finally, they will have to create and experiment with nonviolent forms of communication, both verbally and online.

The course illustrates the institutes of family law modified by the last legal regulation on civil unions and cohabitation and unification of child status, as well as the fundamental notions of inheritance law, aiming to provide the tools to understand, through legal discipline, the evolution of the social reality of family relationships.

The course is divided in two parts carried out by two different teachers. The first, held by Dr. Antonio D’Alessandri, focuses on the historical events between the Napoleonic age and the political crisis of the late Nineteenth century. Particular attention is paid to the formation of the Italian national movement, within the broader framework of Europe during the so-called century of nationalities. The analysis deals with the many insurrectional attempts up to the crucial years of national unification. Then, the main problems of the new unitary state are tackled: from internal politics to the difficult search for an adequate international position for the country.
The second part, taught by dr. Anna Scarantino, focuses on the historical events happening between Giolitti's period and the crisis of the so-called First Republic. Insights will include, in particular, fascism (movement and regime) and the evolution of democracy in the Republican Italy, through the consolidation and following decline of the traditional political parties and their respective political cultures. The analysis will take into account the contemporary social and cultural transformations within the country.
