Title 2018-2019: Peter and Paul in Rome, between history and legend (I-III century)

Course description: from the end of the second century, the presence in Rome of the "trophies" of Peter and Paul is attested. Not much, however, do we know of the last phase of the lives of the two apostles, through historically reliable sources. On the other hand, in the second century begins the production of apocrypha (Acts of Peter, Acts of Paul) that have Peter and Paul as protagonists and the capital of the Empire as a place of many of the events narrated. The module proposes to deepen, according to various perspectives of investigation (philologico-critical, linguistic-literary, historico-doctrinal), these works, with special attention to the sections set in Rome.

Materials for the lessons (critical editions of Lipsius and Vouaux, Italian translations of Erbetta and Moraldi, scientific bibliography) will be provided by the teacher.

Codicology

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;

• M. Cursi, Le forme del libro. Dalla tavoletta cerata all’e-book, Il Mulino, Bologna 2016, cap. III (pp. 97-160);
• Two articles among those presented during the course.

Course title 2018-2019: Peter and Paul in Rome, between history and legend (from the fourth century).

Course description.
After the turning point of Constantine, the Church of Rome reaffirms its jurisdictional primacy over the entire universal Church, undermined by the progressive strengthening of the see of Constantinople. In this process the claim of the apostolic foundation of the Roman primacy plays an important role, supported also through the production of new works (Passions of the Pseudo-Linus, Pseudo-Hegesippus, Pseudo-Marcellus) in which the legend of Peter and Paul in the Urbs is fixed in the "official" form. Beyond its immediate political function, it become paradigmatic, in the following centuries (Virtutes Apostolorum, Legenda Aurea), for hagiography, worship and artistic production. The module aims to follow the development of these traditions on the two apostles.

Materials for the seminars (critical editions of Lipsius, Ussani, Fabricius and others, Italian translations, scientific bibliography) will be provided by the teacher.

Knowledge and critical evaluation of some theoretical-ethical questions of Kant's philosophy in the history of contemporary European and American philosophy.
The course aims to offer a critical reflection on Kant's categories of world, action, morality interpreted by contemporary thinkers McDowell, Simmel, Nancy.
The lessons start from the role of the concept of the world in McDowell's Kantian exegesis and then critically investigate the distance from the world in Kantian morality according to the Berlin Lessons of Simmel dedicated to Kant and offer critical ideas derived from the particular analysis of the concept of categorical imperative developed by Nancy.

The course will try to delineate the possible relationship between Kant's writing on history, politics and right and the concepts of "right" and "justice" in Walter Benjamin's theory of politics of the early Twenties.

We will examinate Kant's writings on history, politics and right, among them them "Metaphysical first Principles of the Doctrine of Right" (in the "Metaphisics of Moral"), "What Is Enlightenment?", "On perpetual Peace", "Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View" and others.
We will relate these writings to Benjamin's writings on politics, among them the "Critique of violence" and the "Theological-political Fragment" (1920-21).

First module (6 ECTS)

The first module intends to address the main critical and problematic nodes of early modern history in a perspective aimed at enucleating original characters and identity processes of the European continent. Particular attention will be devoted to the philosophical-political and political-institutional peculiarities that emerged in European states between the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 19th century. From the English Revolutions of the 17th Century and later with the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, parliamentary democracy, secularization, religious tolerance and the recognition of human rights became traditionally not only the key ideas of the definition of "being European", but real universal guiding principles to export and, if necessary, to impose on the rest of the globe. But can we really coincide the advent of modernity with the beginnings of the process of secularization? What was the relationship between Christian churches and modernity? What was the relationship between Catholic Church and human rights since the Lumières century?

Second module (6 ECTS)

According to the definition of the League of Nations, slavery is “the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised” (September 25th 1926). Slavery had an enormous importance and impact in the early modern age, but compared to the Atlantic tract, only more recently Mediterranean slavery has received the attention it deserves from historiography. Reductions in slavery are one of the (dramatic) consequences of the stormy relations between Christian states and the Ottoman empire, with repercussions of great importance not only from a social and economic point of view, but also from a religious point of view. The second part of the course intends to focus on the consistent and significant presence of slaves, often of Islamic religion, in the Italian states of the early modern age, as well as the policies posed in this regard to religious minorities moving in the Mediterranean area, such as the moriscos, expelled from the Iberian peninsula since 1609. For the Christian European countries, the Turk is the natural catalyst of an inveterate hatred, an obscure entity ready to destroy their culture and their religion. Yet, starting from the Renaissance, between the European sovereigns (and the Pope, among them) and their archenemies also exchanges and calls for collaboration happened, which provide evidence of the permeability of the borderline between two apparently irreconcilable worlds.

Genealogy of the Homo Œconomicus's Autonomy

The course reconstructs the process of formation of the individual's enterprise autonomy, going back to the crisis context of 19th-century Paris.

TITLE OF THE MODULE: On Augustine's fortune in the Middle Ages: the Expositio in Regulam beati Augustini attributed to Ugo di San Vittore (c. 1096-1141)

DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: The module, of a monographic nature, intends first to retrace, broadly, the origins and types of the monastic phenomenon - notoriously one of the most characteristic expressions of the religious and cultural history of the Middle Ages - and then to analyze, with particular attention to the vocabulary and use of the sources, the Expositio in Regulam beati Augustini attributed to Hugh of St. Victor, a text so far little studied, nor edited critically, but not a secondary witness of Augustine's enduring influence on the religious life of the so-called XII century rebirth. - As part of the module will also be activated exercises designed to guide the knowledge and use of the main electronic resources for the study and research on the Latin authors of the Middle Ages.

The course will offer a presentation about the literary context of the "De reditu", an incomplete work in elegiac couplets, in which Rutilius Namatianus wrote the report of his journey from Rome to Gaul Narbonensis, land of origin and place of return and escape from barbarian raids. With particular attention to the aspects of form, style and metric we will proceed with the integral reading, interpretation and commentary of the poem, destined to assume, perhaps involuntarily, a real epoch-making dimension.

The Storytelling People: Genesis as Narrative

The book of Genesis narrates the origin of humanity as a family – although conflictual – and describes the Patriarchs as living in a world where peaceful relationships with neighboring nations were still possible. These "inclusive" traits, among others, have contributed to the hypothesis of an original division and independent redaction of Genesis and the narrative of Exodus and the Conquest of Canaan. The course aims to be a critical analysis of some Genesis' stories that will highlight the parallels and influences of the historical context of ancient Israel.

The course offers the opportunity to learn Biblical Hebrew (1/3 out of the teaching hours): to complete the study of Hebrew grammar students are recommended to attend the course since the first semester (Ebraico).

For students attending course:

Notes and texts suggested/distributed during course sessions.
Students attending the monographic course on Genesis without attending Hebrew grammar lessons must contact Prof. Moro for more texts.

Synesius of Cyrene (4th-5th century CE) was both a brilliant student of neoplatonic philosophy at the pagan school of Alexandria and the christian bishop of Ptolemais.
In 405 he sent to his old teacher Hypatia a letter along with two then unpublished works: the first one was On Dio and the other was a brief treatise about dreams. In the latter work, as one can read at the end of the letter, Synesius put forward “doctrines entirely new to Hellenic philosophy”.
The class of Byzantine Civilisation for MA degree is dedicated to the analysis of the figure of Synesius – which is ambiguous only in appearance – and of his On Dreams. In particular, the class will deal with the reception of the work in late Byzantium. In fact, in the 14th century Synesius’s treaty was commented by two important Byzantine scholars, approximately in the same period. The examination of the text will be crucial to comprehend the most profound reasons which led some Byzantine intellectuals to become interested in Neoplatonic doctrines during the Palaiologan age.

This course focuses on practice of teaching Latin in the schools. For the language the theoric pattern of E. Andreoni Fontecedro will be illustrated as useful technique to improve translating skills. For the literature selections of Lucretius’ De rerum natura will be read, translated and commented through analysis of relevant poetic, philosophical, and stylistic issues.

Lucretius, De rerum natura

The sophistic movement was a cultural and intellectual revolution in fifth-century Athens and Greece. They defied traditional paideia, but unfortunately only a fraction of their texts has been transmitted by ancient sources. A selection of key texts will be the basis for an assessment of crucial aspects of the sophistic revolution (myth, ethics, politics, intellectual paideia). The following texts will be discussed and commented upon in class (the references are to the sixth edition of pre-Socratic philosophers by Diels and Kranz): Protagoras, 80 B1-4, C 1; Gorgias, 82 B 11 (encomium of Helen) and 11a (Palamedes’ apology); Prodicus of Ceos, 84 B 1-2 (Heracles at the crossroads); Thrasymachus, 85 B 1; Antiphon, 87 B 44, 44a, 49, 53, 54, 58-61; Critias, 88 B 1, 2, 4, 5, 25 (from the Sisyphus).

The selection of texts discussed in class will be circulated via the website of the teacher (http://studiumanistici.uniroma3.it/mgiuseppetti/bacheca/). Students are also encouraged to read M. Untersteiner, I sofisti, Mondadori, Milan 1996; M. Bonazzi, I sofisti, Carocci, Rome 2010.

The woman's body in the Christian imaginary: discourses and images from the Ancient and Medieval Christianity

The reflection on the female body and the manifold declinations of its instrumentalization, which has been set at the center of the contemporary debate by the feminist thought, is of current issue and controversy.
