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, an excursion and eventual workshops.

Never as in recent years has Europe been at the center of public debate: for some the only lifeline against nationalisms and wars, for others the ultimate cause of all our problems and malaises, especially from an economic point of view. In the political discourse Europe is automatically identified with the community bodies; nevertheless, it is a concept which possesses an extraordinary historical depth, the knowledge of which imposes itself as an essential necessity in order to correctly insert the events of our continent in the framework of world history and also in order to avoid falling into clichés and generalizations deriving from the flattening of the perspective solely on the events of the last seventy years. The course aims to analyze the evolution of the notion of "Europe" over the very long period, by deepening on the one hand its role in global history (colonialism, decolonization, etc.), on the other the conceptualization of its internal articulations, and in particular the Mediterranean sector, traditional and fundamental area of ​​contact, communication and clash with the Arab and Ottoman world.

During the course, a reconstruction of the history of international migration in the contemporary age is proposed. The perspective is global, with particular attention to the Mediterranean area and to the Italian case. The periodisation embraces the historical phase between the second half of the nineteenth century and the present day.
Population movements are examined starting from their contextualisation in the historical period in which they took place, their links with the 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 theme of migration policies, starting from their elaboration and arriving at their concrete application and the results they have determined in directing migratory movements.
With a view to deepening the links between the history of migration and the evolution of international cooperation paths, particular consideration is given to the history and evolution of the social actors that have played a leading role in the great seasons of development of mass migration: national and international institutions, social organisations, movements, associations and trade unions.

Introduction

The course aims to offer the most recent methodological and theoretical tools of the environmental humanities (EH). Starting from an idea of ​​environmental humanities as a post (or anti) -disciplinary arena, the course will encourage students to think beyond disciplinary boundaries to address the environmental and social challenges of the present.

The course consists of three different and complementary sections.

Section 1
Scenarios - this part is designed to provide an overview of the EH

Section 2
Maps - These lessons provide orientation in some EH themes / territories

Section 3
Laboratories - In these lessons we will experiment with empirical research, analyze them and understand how they work



Expected learning outcomes
(1) A thorough understanding of the major schools of EH
(2) Becoming familiar with the methods used in EH
(3) An in-depth knowledge of the debate on the Anthropocene and its critical issues with a focus on the Wasteocene
(4) The ability to design and execute an EH micro-project / action (which is also valid as verification of learning)
(5) Develop critical analysis skills of scientific texts and other types of sources

Poverty, mission and development cooperation in contemporary Christianity

Since the post–World War II, the Christian churches have begun to consider the "social question" as a global question, as a result of the decolonization, of a new theological regard of poverty and of the international climate of the Cold War. Issues such as poverty, work, peace and development have gradually become part of the public discourse of the churches with an impact on the traditional exercise of charity: from paternalistic welfarism to the NGOs came out of associations and religious institutes, this evolution is a trace of a dynamic and conflictual confrontation with the affirmation of civil rights in liberal societies and with the secularization. Through the study of the historical documents, reconstructing the main debates in Christian churches, the course will deal in particular with the following topics: the relationship between missions, decolonization and Third-Worldism; the "church of the poor" and the Second Vatican Council; peace and development of peoples.

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.

World, globe, planet.
From what position do we think and constitute the problems we face? The course explores the different spatial dimensions and related epistemologies present in contemporary philosophical and political analyses.
If the world refers to an abode constituted by human meaning and history, if the globe seems to bring us back to a homogeneous spatial dimension, thinking about politics from the planetary dimension can open an altogether ancient and unprecedented perspective.

We will explore the advent of fossil fuels with the emergence of the age of coal, the shift to 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 for decolonization and the emergence of the environmentalist debate from the 1970s up to the more recent debate on the "Anthropocene".
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.

An historical perspective on religions must take into consideration their multi-layered presence on the territory and must be able to analyze dynamics and strategies: since 2007 more than a half of the global population lives in urban areas and cities have become the privileged space of contestations, conflicts, negotiation of interests, creation of symbolic and capital resources concerning religions. In cities innovations, waves and tendencies concerning beliefs and religious practices are produced and reproduced. Italian and European cities were the space of creation and elaboration of social fears; in the last decades fear was related to economy, the environment, the pandemic crisis.
The fear, almost touchable in the streets of the cities, is related to religion in a double way; from one side every religion was born from the fear of the loose/impossibility of controlling life, death, illness, pain, the end and often it is an answer to this feeling and to worries
From the other side, religions produce fear, in the case of violence which arises in their name but also due to collective imaginaries which feed clichés, stereotypes, in particular towards minorities.
This course offers some historical examples of religion such as an antidote to fear and religion such as virus of fear, in particular related to the topic of social fear and religious answers, fears which were provoked or sublimated by religious fundamentalisms (on line – at school in prisons and in religious places)

LANDSCAPE ARCHEOLOGY: between collective MEMORY, COMMUNITY and PROJECT. Landscape archaeology approaches the communities and the history of their territories, and it contributes to the definition of criteria for sustainable development. Various case studies will be examined relating to more or less successful experiments of integration of archaeological and historical landscape studies with the design and planning of contemporary landscape contexts. The legislative stages of the regulations on the protection of territorial contexts will be retraced, up to the Faro Convention (2005), its implications and its recent implementation in Italy. Guidelines will be drawn up for the application of forms and initiatives of public archaeology, on the basis of solid 'participatory' and shared research paths. Particular attention will be given to the dynamics of perception of the historical memory of the territories, to forms of active protection of the contemporary landscape (as a product of diachronic interactions between man and environment), to the public dimension of research on the cultural values of a landscape.

The seminar addresses issues related to the territory and the city. The story of cardinal concepts such as cities, communities, habitats, nature, territory, landscapes, and projects will be presented, discussed and updated, from different perspectives: philosophy, art, political theory, sociology, history, geography, architecture, law, economics, political ecology, communication.

A selection of readings will be suggested. Eventually students will have to write and present a short paper.

During the course, a reconstruction of the history of international migration in the contemporary age is proposed. The perspective is global, with particular attention to the Mediterranean area and to the Italian case. The periodisation embraces the historical phase between the second half of the nineteenth century and the present day.
Population movements are examined starting from their contextualisation in the historical period in which they took place, their links with the 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 theme of migration policies, starting from their elaboration and arriving at their concrete application and the results they have determined in directing migratory movements.
With a view to deepening the links between the history of migration and the evolution of international cooperation paths, particular consideration is given to the history and evolution of the social actors that have played a leading role in the great seasons of development of mass migration: national and international institutions, social organisations, movements, associations and trade unions.

Documentary by Nicolas Dall’Olio, «Il suolo minacciato (full)» (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3-1l1I28cY)

We will explore the advent of fossil fuels with the emergence of the age of coal, the shift to 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 for decolonization and the emergence of the environmentalist debate from the 1970s up to the more recent debate on the "Anthropocene".
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.

World, globe, planet.
From what position do we think and constitute the problems we face? The course explores the different spatial dimensions and related epistemologies present in contemporary philosophical and political analyses.
If the world refers to an abode constituted by human meaning and history, if the globe seems to bring us back to a homogeneous spatial dimension, thinking about politics from the planetary dimension can open an altogether ancient and unprecedented perspective.

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.

Introduction

The course aims to offer the most recent methodological and theoretical tools of the environmental humanities (EH). Starting from an idea of ​​environmental humanities as a post (or anti) -disciplinary arena, the course will encourage students to think beyond disciplinary boundaries to address the environmental and social challenges of the present.

The course consists of three different and complementary sections.

Section 1
Scenarios - this part is designed to provide an overview of the EH

Section 2
Maps - These lessons provide orientation in some EH themes / territories

Section 3
Laboratories - In these lessons we will experiment with empirical research, analyze them and understand how they work



Expected learning outcomes
(1) A thorough understanding of the major schools of EH
(2) Becoming familiar with the methods used in EH
(3) An in-depth knowledge of the debate on the Anthropocene and its critical issues with a focus on the Wasteocene
(4) The ability to design and execute an EH micro-project / action (which is also valid as verification of learning)
(5) Develop critical analysis skills of scientific texts and other types of sources

Narrating the Anthropocene, between literature and journalism
(First semester)

The course is divided into two parts. The first part is introductory: it will analyse some forms of journalistic representation of society (such as the investigation, the reportage, the documentary, the literary description, the cross-media narration) with a particular attention to the analysis of the writing style. The second part is thematic: the case study will be dedicated to the analysis of the concept of the Anthropocene through the work of some contemporary writers and journalists, such as Amitav Ghosh, Jonathan Franzen, Stefano Liberti.

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.

Poverty, mission and development cooperation in contemporary Christianity

Since the post–World War II, the Christian churches have begun to consider the "social question" as a global question, as a result of the decolonization, of a new theological regard of poverty and of the international climate of the Cold War. Issues such as poverty, work, peace and development have gradually become part of the public discourse of the churches with an impact on the traditional exercise of charity: from paternalistic welfarism to the NGOs came out of associations and religious institutes, this evolution is a trace of a dynamic and conflictual confrontation with the affirmation of civil rights in liberal societies and with the secularization. Through the study of the historical documents, reconstructing the main debates in Christian churches, the course will deal in particular with the following topics: the relationship between missions, decolonization and Third-Worldism; the "church of the poor" and the Second Vatican Council; peace and development of peoples.

1. Dossier of historical documents proposed by the professor

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.

An historical perspective on religions must take into consideration their multi-layered presence on the territory and must be able to analyze dynamics and strategies: since 2007 more than a half of the global population lives in urban areas and cities have become the privileged space of contestations, conflicts, negotiation of interests, creation of symbolic and capital resources concerning religions. In cities innovations, waves and tendencies concerning beliefs and religious practices are produced and reproduced. Italian and European cities were the space of creation and elaboration of social fears; in the last decades fear was related to economy, the environment, the pandemic crisis.
The fear, almost touchable in the streets of the cities, is related to religion in a double way; from one side every religion was born from the fear of the loose/impossibility of controlling life, death, illness, pain, the end and often it is an answer to this feeling and to worries
From the other side, religions produce fear, in the case of violence which arises in their name but also due to collective imaginaries which feed clichés, stereotypes, in particular towards minorities.
This course offers some historical examples of religion such as an antidote to fear and religion such as virus of fear, in particular related to the topic of social fear and religious answers, fears which were provoked or sublimated by religious fundamentalisms (on line – at school in prisons and in religious places)

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.).
