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

The course discusses then about methods and tools of environmental policy, illustrates the geography of environmental resources and examines the role of the actors in environmental policy at different geographical scales, from global to local. The problems are also analyzed through some case studies related to different parts of the world. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.

Fear Politics vs Affirmative politics. Alternative Modernity and its Contemporary Radicalization.

The neoliberal triumph and the economical crisis in the last decade have produced a deep fracture between capitalism and democracy. Contemporary political answers can be identified in two opposite domains: on the one hand, fear politics, and the related authoritarian forms, on the other, affirmative politics and its experimental institutionalism. At the beginning of Modernity this opposition has been embodied by two classics: Hobbes and Spinoza.

L'indagine sulla natura umana e sulle passioni come terreno fondativo del politico e dei suoi conflitti. Se in Hobbes la paura orienta il patto sociale e la costituzione della sovranità, in Spinoza la potenza della moltitudine qualifica la spinta democratica irriducibile che modifica senza sosta le forme politiche.

The laboratory includes the alternation of frontal lessons and exercises to get theoretical knowledge on the evolution of the concept of cultural heritage and skills on digital and IT tools, including GIS, for the analysis and use of geo-historical sources and cultural heritage themself. During the course, students will be invited to carry out research autonomously, individually or in groups, on a subject agreed, around which will have to demonstrate the ability to put into practice the skills acquired and exposing the results produced.
Basic geographic and computer skills are required (for this purpose it is expected an initial test for admission), analytical skills and ability on working individually and in groups. It also requires studying outside the hours of classroom on working papers provided during the course. In -course tests are planned and students will provide of a paper that will be evaluated in a final examination, which is essential for the acquisition of credits.

This course intends to offer an analysis of Canadian and American histories and to examine the cultural, political, social, and geographical factors that influenced the development of these North American societies. In addition, relations between the two Countries will be examined, focusing on how diplomatic, cultural, economic, and military interactions with other states shaped Canada’s and US’s political and social development.

Course Goals:
As a Specialistic course, it provides a more detailed investigation of the subjects, continuing to build on methodologies, debates, interpretations, interdisciplinary approaches, and historical skills learned in other history courses. Students will further develop their attitude in historical research, analysis, interpretation, and problem solving, working with both primary and secondary sources, and critically evaluating the ideas and arguments of others thinkers in the field. In essays and class discussions, students will demonstrate their ability to communicate their ideas as well as the basic conventions of historical writing, the rules of academic professionalism and the evolving nature of historical knowledge.

Course Structure:
Classes will be based upon lectures, assigned readings, and discussion seminars. Although there are a set number of lectures on specific topics, the assignments and seminar discussion sessions allow much scope for students to explore areas of particular interest. There are also a presentation and two written assignments for this course: a book review and a research essay.

Themes:
Frontier and wilderness: Border and borders
Exceptionalism or “we are uniquely fortunate in many ways”
Immigration: Integration and exclusion
US,Canada and Europe: Comparisons and Relations
North America and its place in the World

Five centuries from the Protestant Reform: sources and historiographical studies

In the Christianity history the Lutheran reform was an event that divides the Occidental Europe. About its motivations and its incidence on the religious, political and social future history the historians have built many interpretations, studying the abundant sources about the first period of Luther’s rebellion, but also the reactions of the Roman ecclesiastical authorities. The course will analyse several sources produced in Lutheran entourage, in the civil entourage and in the catholic ecclesiastical entourage and understand them in the light of various historiographical lectures elaborated during the centuries.
We will try to give students the ability to read and interpret critically historical essays and deepen its historiographical debates, in order to provide them with methodological expertise to independently develop their own research paths, analyzing scientifically the sources and its historiography. held methodological lessons and practical exercises of research, of discussion of the historiography and of use of tools and aids.
For attending students the teacher'll do another bibliographical notices during the lessons. It is recommended to those who have never supported an examination on the early modern history of Christianity to provide themselves with a manual.
In the academic year 2018-2019 the course will be about the History of Christianity in Modern Age.

Objectives and Program.

This course is taught in English.
Europe before the modern era produced one of the most dynamic, transformative, and violent epochs in world history. The study of early-modern Europe also has generated some of the most exciting and important scholarship in the discipline of History: key approaches and methodologies – often borrowed from other disciplines – have evolved and been adapted to historical research, in turn influencing many fields beyond Historical Studies.

Taking as its focus the early modern period in Europe (1450–1750), this course is structured around one of the field’s most important areas of research in recent decades, cultural history. Applied in its broadest sense, it will provide not only the lens through which we view the period itself, but also our starting point for a critical analysis of its historiography, with a particular focus on classic studies from the Anglophone world that formed the foundations of the field. Our study will be grouped around three key themes that lend themselves best to a cultural-historical analysis: the so-called Renaissance, Reformations, and Age of Discovery.

Case studies, primary documents, site visits in Rome, and critical readings of select secondary studies will help us explore the cultural history of the early-modern past, as well as problematize it through assessing the interpretations that have been the most influential in shaping the discipline.

The course will be relevant, not just to those students who are undertaking studies in the pre-modern period, but also to those who wish to broaden their understanding of key historical approaches and methodologies that underpin historical research in any field, especially from the Anglophone world.

Please note that the content and assessment of this course is designed to accommodate students who do not have English as a first language, or who are studying Early-Modern History for the first time.

Readings from a variety of primary and secondary sources are provided at the beginning of the course. They are made available to students online. A recommended key text that provides useful background to the period (and serves as required reading in a number of classes), is: Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Early Modern Europe, 1450–1789, 2nd ed. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013).

Unit I – 36 hours - 6 cfu.
Socio-economic changes and environmental alterations from the eighteenth to the late twentieth century.
The course consists of two parts, perfectly complementary. The first part, introductory, intends to provide an essential framework of environmental history. The second part is much wider and intends to illustrate and analyze the environmental changes that with increasing intensity and importance have marked the history of the last two and a half centuries, in their inseparable relationship with the contemporary socio-economic dynamics and with a particular reference to the Italian experience.

"WITH THE CAMERA, IT'S ALL OR NOTHING". WALKER EVANS, CONTEMPORARY ARTIST

This seminar focuses on the achievements of Walker Evans (1903-1975) and historiographical issues related to his work. Evans, who emerged in the 1930s as one of the protagonists of documentary photography, was consecrated by the Museum of Modern Art in 1938 with the first solo exhibition the museum ever dedicated to a photographer. The book published on the occasion of the 1938 exhibition, American Photographs, a second book with James Agee in 1941 (Let Us Now Praise Famous Men), and another MoMA retrospective organized by John Szarkowski in 1971 can be seen as the three major moments of Evans' canonization as the prototypical interpreter of the American Depression and as the "father" of serious art photography in the second half of the 20th century.
The course aims at debunking the myth of Evans' canon by analyzing all the different phases of his artistic endeavor, from the late 1920s to his death in 1975. Special attention will be given to the evolution of Evans' photographic language in relation to other media and practices (literature, painting, architecture); to the different lives and discursive spaces of the photographic text (the archive, the museum, the magazine, the book); finally, to the process of critical definition and historiographical revision of photography's value as art in the postwar period, both in the US and in Europe.
Through lectures, readings, class discussions, the definition of a research project, and a final paper, students will be asked to confront the problems, methods, and products of art-historical investigation applied to the medium of contemporary photography.

We work on writing and communicating and stimulate the awareness of our own writing, in the search for a personal style of communicating various contents. Then we start distinguishing the genres, the review, the report, the essay and the newspaper article on culture. We experience creative writing: stories, histories documentaries, docudramas.

We experience the skills acquired on freely chosen themes in order to achieve the writing or, at least, the planning of a 'writing outcome' that will be built around a historical figure, a historical context, a defined historical event, as chosen.

You are required to write at least ten different texts, in addition to attending the workshop and drawing up the final draft.

The workshop should be attended only by students with a good/excellent basic knowledge of Italian.

Nadia Tarantini - Journalist, writer, teacher at writing classes and workshops,she wrote several essays, including 2 writing textbooks.

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

Five centuries from the Protestant Reform: sources and historiographical studies

In the Christianity history the Lutheran reform was an event that divides the Occidental Europe. About its motivations and its incidence on the religious, political and social future history the historians have built many interpretations, studying the abundant sources about the first period of Luther’s rebellion, but also the reactions of the Roman ecclesiastical authorities. The course will analyse several sources produced in Lutheran entourage, in the civil entourage and in the catholic ecclesiastical entourage and understand them in the light of various historiographical lectures elaborated during the centuries.
We will try to give students the ability to read and interpret critically historical essays and deepen its historiographical debates, in order to provide them with methodological expertise to independently develop their own research paths, analyzing scientifically the sources and its historiography. held methodological lessons and practical exercises of research, of discussion of the historiography and of use of tools and aids.
For attending students the teacher'll do another bibliographical notices during the lessons. It is recommended to those who have never supported an examination on the early modern history of Christianity to provide themselves with a manual.

Objectives and Program.

This course is taught in English.
Europe before the modern era produced one of the most dynamic, transformative, and violent epochs in world history. The study of early-modern Europe also has generated some of the most exciting and important scholarship in the discipline of History: key approaches and methodologies – often borrowed from other disciplines – have evolved and been adapted to historical research, in turn influencing many fields beyond Historical Studies.

Taking as its focus the early modern period in Europe (1450–1750), this course is structured around one of the field’s most important areas of research in recent decades, cultural history. Applied in its broadest sense, it will provide not only the lens through which we view the period itself, but also our starting point for a critical analysis of its historiography, with a particular focus on classic studies from the Anglophone world that formed the foundations of the field. Our study will be grouped around three key themes that lend themselves best to a cultural-historical analysis: the so-called Renaissance, Reformations, and Age of Discovery.

Case studies, primary documents, site visits in Rome, and critical readings of select secondary studies will help us explore the cultural history of the early-modern past, as well as problematize it through assessing the interpretations that have been the most influential in shaping the discipline.

The course will be relevant, not just to those students who are undertaking studies in the pre-modern period, but also to those who wish to broaden their understanding of key historical approaches and methodologies that underpin historical research in any field, especially from the Anglophone world.

Please note that the content and assessment of this course is designed to accommodate students who do not have English as a first language, or who are studying Early-Modern History for the first time.

Readings from a variety of primary and secondary sources are provided at the beginning of the course. They are made available to students online. A recommended key text that provides useful background to the period (and serves as required reading in a number of classes), is: Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Early Modern Europe, 1450–1789, 2nd ed. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013).

Unit I – 36 hours - 6 cfu.
Socio-economic changes and environmental alterations from the eighteenth to the late twentieth century.
The course consists of two parts, perfectly complementary. The first part, introductory, intends to provide an essential framework of environmental history. The second part is much wider and intends to illustrate and analyze the environmental changes that with increasing intensity and importance have marked the history of the last two and a half centuries, in their inseparable relationship with the contemporary socio-economic dynamics and with a particular reference to the Italian experience.

It is a 9-week programme, with a 4-hour meeting each week.

We work on writing and communicating and stimulate the awareness of our own writing, in the search for a personal style of communicating various contents. Then we start distinguishing the genres, the review, the report, the essay and the newspaper article on culture. We experience creative writing: stories, histories documentaries, docudramas.

We experience the skills acquired on freely chosen themes in order to achieve the writing or, at least, the planning of a 'writing outcome' that will be built around a historical figure, a historical context, a defined historical event, as chosen.

You are required to write at least ten different texts, in addition to attending the workshop and drawing up the final draft.

The workshop should be attended only by students with a good/excellent basic knowledge of Italian.

Nadia Tarantini - Journalist, writer, teacher at writing classes and workshops,she wrote several essays, including 2 writing textbooks. Together with M.T.P., she also wrote the novel/essay “Il Risveglio del corpo” ('The Awakening Body'). She has just published the novel “Quando nascesti tu, stella lucente” ('When You Were Born, Shiny Star'), set in 2346, published in April 2017.

Learning Materials available during lessons

The program forecasts practical experiences with an interaction between the teachers and students. The lesson will begin from an general introduction, then will continue with a significant texts’ reading, analyzed in a comparative optics about monographic themes, selected each year.
At the end of the workshop, students will be required to take a test, whose type will be shown during the meetings.
The lecture will be held by various teachers, specialists about the discussed arguments.

The teaching material will be provided during laboratory meetings.

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

This course intends to offer an analysis of Canadian and American histories and to examine the cultural, political, social, and geographical factors that influenced the development of these North American societies. In addition, relations between the two Countries will be examined, focusing on how diplomatic, cultural, economic, and military interactions with other states shaped Canada’s and US’s political and social development.

Course Goals:
As a Specialistic course, it provides a more detailed investigation of the subjects, continuing to build on methodologies, debates, interpretations, interdisciplinary approaches, and historical skills learned in other history courses. Students will further develop their attitude in historical research, analysis, interpretation, and problem solving, working with both primary and secondary sources, and critically evaluating the ideas and arguments of others thinkers in the field. In essays and class discussions, students will demonstrate their ability to communicate their ideas as well as the basic conventions of historical writing, the rules of academic professionalism and the evolving nature of historical knowledge.

Course Structure:
Classes will be based upon lectures, assigned readings, and discussion seminars. Although there are a set number of lectures on specific topics, the assignments and seminar discussion sessions allow much scope for students to explore areas of particular interest. There are also a presentation and two written assignments for this course: a book review and a research essay.

Themes:
Frontier and wilderness: Border and borders
Exceptionalism or “we are uniquely fortunate in many ways”
Immigration: Integration and exclusion
US,Canada and Europe: Comparisons and Relations

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.).

Objectives and Program.

This course is taught in English.
Europe before the modern era produced one of the most dynamic, transformative, and violent epochs in world history. The study of early-modern Europe also has generated some of the most exciting and important scholarship in the discipline of History: key approaches and methodologies – often borrowed from other disciplines – have evolved and been adapted to historical research, in turn influencing many fields beyond Historical Studies.

Taking as its focus the early modern period in Europe (1450–1750), this course is structured around one of the field’s most important areas of research in recent decades, cultural history. Applied in its broadest sense, it will provide not only the lens through which we view the period itself, but also our starting point for a critical analysis of its historiography, with a particular focus on classic studies from the Anglophone world that formed the foundations of the field. Our study will be grouped around three key themes that lend themselves best to a cultural-historical analysis: the so-called Renaissance, Reformations, and Age of Discovery.

Case studies, primary documents, site visits in Rome, and critical readings of select secondary studies will help us explore the cultural history of the early-modern past, as well as problematize it through assessing the interpretations that have been the most influential in shaping the discipline.

The course will be relevant, not just to those students who are undertaking studies in the pre-modern period, but also to those who wish to broaden their understanding of key historical approaches and methodologies that underpin historical research in any field, especially from the Anglophone world.

Please note that the content and assessment of this course is designed to accommodate students who do not have English as a first language, or who are studying Early-Modern History for the first time.

Readings from a variety of primary and secondary sources are provided at the beginning of the course. They are made available to students online. A recommended key text that provides useful background to the period (and serves as required reading in a number of classes), is: Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Early Modern Europe, 1450–1789, 2nd ed. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013).

Five centuries from the Protestant Reform: sources and historiographical studies

In the Christianity history the Lutheran reform was an event that divides the Occidental Europe. About its motivations and its incidence on the religious, political and social future history the historians have built many interpretations, studying the abundant sources about the first period of Luther’s rebellion, but also the reactions of the Roman ecclesiastical authorities. The course will analyse several sources produced in Lutheran entourage, in the civil entourage and in the catholic ecclesiastical entourage and understand them in the light of various historiographical lectures elaborated during the centuries.
We will try to give students the ability to read and interpret critically historical essays and deepen its historiographical debates, in order to provide them with methodological expertise to independently develop their own research paths, analyzing scientifically the sources and its historiography. held methodological lessons and practical exercises of research, of discussion of the historiography and of use of tools and aids.
For attending students the teacher'll do another bibliographical notices during the lessons. It is recommended to those who have never supported an examination on the early modern history of Christianity to provide themselves with a manual.
In the academic year 2018-2019 the course will be about the History of Christianity in Modern Age.

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

The course is intented for students who have already had an exam in the field of paleography (M-STO/09) and aims to present the features of Greeks and Latin manuscripts, especially those of some relevance for the philological, historical and cultural studies. We will take into consideration external characteristics of manuscripts (such as techniques, means and tools used for arranging a book and the professional figures involved in the process of production) and the cultural background (that is places and times of origin) of manuscript books.
The course includes an examination of reproducted manuscripts (on paper and on electronic supports) and the examination of manuscripts and other materials in archives and libraries.

The final exam will include the knowledge of the material provided during lessons and the discussion of one subject which the student will decide to study in depth. In addition students are required to study the following texts:
• M. Maniaci, Archeologia del manoscritto. Metodi, problemi, bibliografia recente, Roma, Viella, 2003;

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.).

Objectives and Program.

This course is taught in English.
Europe before the modern era produced one of the most dynamic, transformative, and violent epochs in world history. The study of early-modern Europe also has generated some of the most exciting and important scholarship in the discipline of History: key approaches and methodologies – often borrowed from other disciplines – have evolved and been adapted to historical research, in turn influencing many fields beyond Historical Studies.

Taking as its focus the early modern period in Europe (1450–1750), this course is structured around one of the field’s most important areas of research in recent decades, cultural history. Applied in its broadest sense, it will provide not only the lens through which we view the period itself, but also our starting point for a critical analysis of its historiography, with a particular focus on classic studies from the Anglophone world that formed the foundations of the field. Our study will be grouped around three key themes that lend themselves best to a cultural-historical analysis: the so-called Renaissance, Reformations, and Age of Discovery.

Case studies, primary documents, site visits in Rome, and critical readings of select secondary studies will help us explore the cultural history of the early-modern past, as well as problematize it through assessing the interpretations that have been the most influential in shaping the discipline.

The course will be relevant, not just to those students who are undertaking studies in the pre-modern period, but also to those who wish to broaden their understanding of key historical approaches and methodologies that underpin historical research in any field, especially from the Anglophone world.

Please note that the content and assessment of this course is designed to accommodate students who do not have English as a first language, or who are studying Early-Modern History for the first time.

Readings from a variety of primary and secondary sources are provided at the beginning of the course. They are made available to students online. A recommended key text that provides useful background to the period (and serves as required reading in a number of classes), is: Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Early Modern Europe, 1450–1789, 2nd ed. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013).

The 1848-1849 Revolutions: sources and interpretations of a fundamental moment of Italian Risorgimento

Inside a general sight of the Risorgimento’s events and debates, the course will examine the important rule of revolutions 1848-1849 for the diffusion of ideals of democracy, independence and liberty and for the subsequent results of Risorgimento’s proceedings. It will confront the principal historiographical debates about these arguments and the sources’ reading and analysis, in order to introduce the students to the literature and documents’ critical approach.

Five centuries from the Protestant Reform: sources and historiographical studies

In the Christianity history the Lutheran reform was an event that divides the Occidental Europe. About its motivations and its incidence on the religious, political and social future history the historians have built many interpretations, studying the abundant sources about the first period of Luther’s rebellion, but also the reactions of the Roman ecclesiastical authorities. The course will analyse several sources produced in Lutheran entourage, in the civil entourage and in the catholic ecclesiastical entourage and understand them in the light of various historiographical lectures elaborated during the centuries.
We will try to give students the ability to read and interpret critically historical essays and deepen its historiographical debates, in order to provide them with methodological expertise to independently develop their own research paths, analyzing scientifically the sources and its historiography. held methodological lessons and practical exercises of research, of discussion of the historiography and of use of tools and aids.
For attending students the teacher'll do another bibliographical notices during the lessons. It is recommended to those who have never supported an examination on the early modern history of Christianity to provide themselves with a manual.
In the academic year 2018-2019 the course will be about the History of Christianity in Modern Age.

A time of changes. Modernity and anti-modernity in European culture between 19th and 20th Century

It is a 9-week programme, with a 4-hour meeting each week.

We work on writing and communicating and stimulate the awareness of our own writing, in the search for a personal style of communicating various contents. Then we start distinguishing the genres, the review, the report, the essay and the newspaper article on culture. We experience creative writing: stories, histories documentaries, docudramas.

We experience the skills acquired on freely chosen themes in order to achieve the writing or, at least, the planning of a 'writing outcome' that will be built around a historical figure, a historical context, a defined historical event, as chosen.

You are required to write at least ten different texts, in addition to attending the workshop and drawing up the final draft.

The workshop should be attended only by students with a good/excellent basic knowledge of Italian.

Nadia Tarantini - Journalist, writer, teacher at writing classes and workshops,she wrote several essays, including 2 writing textbooks.

Learning Materials available during lessons

The laboratory includes the alternation of frontal lessons and exercises to get theoretical knowledge on the evolution of the concept of cultural heritage and skills on digital and IT tools, including GIS, for the analysis and use of geo-historical sources and cultural heritage themself. During the course, students will be invited to carry out research autonomously, individually or in groups, on a subject agreed, around which will have to demonstrate the ability to put into practice the skills acquired and exposing the results produced.
Basic geographic and computer skills are required (for this purpose it is expected an initial test for admission), analytical skills and ability on working individually and in groups. It also requires studying outside the hours of classroom on working papers provided during the course. In -course tests are planned and students will provide of a paper that will be evaluated in a final examination, which is essential for the acquisition of credits.
