LA STORIA DI INTERNET COME ARTEFATTO CULTURALE
LA STORIA DI INTERNET È UNO DEI TEMI DI STORIA DELLA TECNOLOGIA MAGGIORMENTE STUDIATI E APPROFONDITI.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI ANALIZZARE QUESTA STORIA DAL PUNTO DI VISTA DEL SUO SIGNIFICATO CULTURALE E SOCIALE
LE TECNOLOGIE DELLA COMUNICAZIONE NON SONO SOLO DEGLI STRUMENTI PER COMUNICARE, MA SOPRATTUTTO DEI DISPOSITIVI CHE MODIFICANO LE RELAZIONI TRA GLI INDIVIDUI CHE LI UTILIZZANO.
IL CARATTERE DI ARTEFATTO CULTURALE DELLA RETE E DEI SUOI SERVIZI NON È ANCORA STATO ADEGUATAMENTE APPROFONDITO DALLA LETTERATURA SULL'ARGOMENTO.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI GUARDARE LA STORIA DELLA RETE NELLA PROSPETTIVA DI UN DISPOSITIVO CHE HA TRASFORMATO L'ORGANIZZAZIONE DEL SISTEMA DI COMUNICAZIONE TRA GLI ESSERI UMANI, ALMENO IN QUELLA PARTE PIÙ SVILUPPATA DI ESSO NELLA QUALE L'ACCESSO ALLA RETE È RESO DISPONIBILE DALLE CONDIZIONI SOCIO-POLITICHE.
IL CORSO AFFRONTERÀ SIA LA STORIA DELLO SVILUPPO DELLA TECNOLOGIA ATTRAVERSO UNA TECNICA GENEALOGICA, SIA LE CONSEGUENZE CHE QUESTO SVILUPPO STA PROVOCANDO O POTREBBE PROVOCARE IN TERMINI DI OPPORTUNITÀ MA ANCHE DI RISCHI.
L'EMPOWERMENT COMUNICATIVO OFFERTO DALLE TECNOLOGIE CI OFFRE, INFATTI, CONTEMPORANEAMENTE DELLE OCCASIONI DI NUOVA LIBERTÀ E NUOVI SPAZI APERTI, MA INSIEME ANCHE GRANDI OCCASIONI DI CONTROLLO E DI DIPENDENZA DAGLI STRUMENTI.
SOLO LA CAPACITÀ DI INFORMATION E MEDIA LITERACY POSSONO DIFENDERCI DAI RISCHI E METTERCI IN CONDIZIONE DI APPROFITTARE DELL'ACCESSO AD ESSE.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

First Class: Wednesday October 7, 2015


Objectives:
Students are expected to acquire the advanced skills required to analyze complex texts and the literary phenomena of the Anglophone world viewed in a transcultural context, also in relation to translation and the teaching of literature. They are also expected to refine their ability to employ in a problematic manner the sophisticated theoretical tools which will enable them to engage in a culturalist and linguistic analysis of texts and cultural phenomena, as well as in the analysis of the interrelations between literary language and other narrative forms.

Programme

The course will set out by attempting an historical and cultural synthesis of the different strands that went into the making of British Modernism, which was at the same time a transnational phenomenon and a crucial passage in the history of English literature. The study of some of the major Modernist poets’ and novelists’ main texts will serve the purpose of casting light on the theoretical significance of the formal and stylistic experimentations that went into their making. This way, it will become possible to then understand the role those theories played once an institutionalized version of ‘Modernism’ became the foundation of the academic teaching of English literature.

The critical edition of medieval romance texts
The course will be focused on the main methodological problems in ecdotics and textual criticism with regard to medieval romance narrative, through examples in two or three Romance languages. It will therefore examine the process of establishing a critical text: the handwritten tradition, the importance of variants and error, building of a stemma codicum, the critical edition of a text.

The course will introduce to the emerging, in the latin Middle Ages, of the ethical and aesthetic values of courtesy. Therefore it will offer a detailed analysis of some representative novels and epical and lyrical romance texts, also considering their fortune in Italian medieval poetry and in the works of Dante and Petrarch.

LA STORIA DI INTERNET COME ARTEFATTO CULTURALE
LA STORIA DI INTERNET È UNO DEI TEMI DI STORIA DELLA TECNOLOGIA MAGGIORMENTE STUDIATI E APPROFONDITI.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI ANALIZZARE QUESTA STORIA DAL PUNTO DI VISTA DEL SUO SIGNIFICATO CULTURALE E SOCIALE
LE TECNOLOGIE DELLA COMUNICAZIONE NON SONO SOLO DEGLI STRUMENTI PER COMUNICARE, MA SOPRATTUTTO DEI DISPOSITIVI CHE MODIFICANO LE RELAZIONI TRA GLI INDIVIDUI CHE LI UTILIZZANO.
IL CARATTERE DI ARTEFATTO CULTURALE DELLA RETE E DEI SUOI SERVIZI NON È ANCORA STATO ADEGUATAMENTE APPROFONDITO DALLA LETTERATURA SULL'ARGOMENTO.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI GUARDARE LA STORIA DELLA RETE NELLA PROSPETTIVA DI UN DISPOSITIVO CHE HA TRASFORMATO L'ORGANIZZAZIONE DEL SISTEMA DI COMUNICAZIONE TRA GLI ESSERI UMANI, ALMENO IN QUELLA PARTE PIÙ SVILUPPATA DI ESSO NELLA QUALE L'ACCESSO ALLA RETE È RESO DISPONIBILE DALLE CONDIZIONI SOCIO-POLITICHE.
IL CORSO AFFRONTERÀ SIA LA STORIA DELLO SVILUPPO DELLA TECNOLOGIA ATTRAVERSO UNA TECNICA GENEALOGICA, SIA LE CONSEGUENZE CHE QUESTO SVILUPPO STA PROVOCANDO O POTREBBE PROVOCARE IN TERMINI DI OPPORTUNITÀ MA ANCHE DI RISCHI.
L'EMPOWERMENT COMUNICATIVO OFFERTO DALLE TECNOLOGIE CI OFFRE, INFATTI, CONTEMPORANEAMENTE DELLE OCCASIONI DI NUOVA LIBERTÀ E NUOVI SPAZI APERTI, MA INSIEME ANCHE GRANDI OCCASIONI DI CONTROLLO E DI DIPENDENZA DAGLI STRUMENTI.
SOLO LA CAPACITÀ DI INFORMATION E MEDIA LITERACY POSSONO DIFENDERCI DAI RISCHI E METTERCI IN CONDIZIONE DI APPROFITTARE DELL'ACCESSO AD ESSE.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

First Class: Wednesday October 7, 2015


Objectives:
Students are expected to acquire the advanced skills required to analyze complex texts and the literary phenomena of the Anglophone world viewed in a transcultural context, also in relation to translation and the teaching of literature. They are also expected to refine their ability to employ in a problematic manner the sophisticated theoretical tools which will enable them to engage in a culturalist and linguistic analysis of texts and cultural phenomena, as well as in the analysis of the interrelations between literary language and other narrative forms.

Programme

The course will set out by attempting an historical and cultural synthesis of the different strands that went into the making of British Modernism, which was at the same time a transnational phenomenon and a crucial passage in the history of English literature. The study of some of the major Modernist poets’ and novelists’ main texts will serve the purpose of casting light on the theoretical significance of the formal and stylistic experimentations that went into their making. This way, it will become possible to then understand the role those theories played once an institutionalized version of ‘Modernism’ became the foundation of the academic teaching of English literature.

The course will be focused on the main methodological problems in ecdotics and textual criticism with regard to medieval romance narrative, through examples in two or three Romance languages. It will therefore examine the process of establishing a critical text: the handwritten tradition, the importance of variants and error, building of a stemma codicum, the critical edition of a text.

LA STORIA DI INTERNET COME ARTEFATTO CULTURALE
LA STORIA DI INTERNET È UNO DEI TEMI DI STORIA DELLA TECNOLOGIA MAGGIORMENTE STUDIATI E APPROFONDITI.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI ANALIZZARE QUESTA STORIA DAL PUNTO DI VISTA DEL SUO SIGNIFICATO CULTURALE E SOCIALE
LE TECNOLOGIE DELLA COMUNICAZIONE NON SONO SOLO DEGLI STRUMENTI PER COMUNICARE, MA SOPRATTUTTO DEI DISPOSITIVI CHE MODIFICANO LE RELAZIONI TRA GLI INDIVIDUI CHE LI UTILIZZANO.
IL CARATTERE DI ARTEFATTO CULTURALE DELLA RETE E DEI SUOI SERVIZI NON È ANCORA STATO ADEGUATAMENTE APPROFONDITO DALLA LETTERATURA SULL'ARGOMENTO.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI GUARDARE LA STORIA DELLA RETE NELLA PROSPETTIVA DI UN DISPOSITIVO CHE HA TRASFORMATO L'ORGANIZZAZIONE DEL SISTEMA DI COMUNICAZIONE TRA GLI ESSERI UMANI, ALMENO IN QUELLA PARTE PIÙ SVILUPPATA DI ESSO NELLA QUALE L'ACCESSO ALLA RETE È RESO DISPONIBILE DALLE CONDIZIONI SOCIO-POLITICHE.
IL CORSO AFFRONTERÀ SIA LA STORIA DELLO SVILUPPO DELLA TECNOLOGIA ATTRAVERSO UNA TECNICA GENEALOGICA, SIA LE CONSEGUENZE CHE QUESTO SVILUPPO STA PROVOCANDO O POTREBBE PROVOCARE IN TERMINI DI OPPORTUNITÀ MA ANCHE DI RISCHI.
L'EMPOWERMENT COMUNICATIVO OFFERTO DALLE TECNOLOGIE CI OFFRE, INFATTI, CONTEMPORANEAMENTE DELLE OCCASIONI DI NUOVA LIBERTÀ E NUOVI SPAZI APERTI, MA INSIEME ANCHE GRANDI OCCASIONI DI CONTROLLO E DI DIPENDENZA DAGLI STRUMENTI.
SOLO LA CAPACITÀ DI INFORMATION E MEDIA LITERACY POSSONO DIFENDERCI DAI RISCHI E METTERCI IN CONDIZIONE DI APPROFITTARE DELL'ACCESSO AD ESSE.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

First Class: Wednesday October 7, 2015


Objectives:
Students are expected to acquire the advanced skills required to analyze complex texts and the literary phenomena of the Anglophone world viewed in a transcultural context, also in relation to translation and the teaching of literature. They are also expected to refine their ability to employ in a problematic manner the sophisticated theoretical tools which will enable them to engage in a culturalist and linguistic analysis of texts and cultural phenomena, as well as in the analysis of the interrelations between literary language and other narrative forms.

Programme

The course will set out by attempting an historical and cultural synthesis of the different strands that went into the making of British Modernism, which was at the same time a transnational phenomenon and a crucial passage in the history of English literature. The study of some of the major Modernist poets’ and novelists’ main texts will serve the purpose of casting light on the theoretical significance of the formal and stylistic experimentations that went into their making. This way, it will become possible to then understand the role those theories played once an institutionalized version of ‘Modernism’ became the foundation of the academic teaching of English literature.

The critical edition of medieval romance texts
The course will be focused on the main methodological problems in ecdotics and textual criticism with regard to medieval romance narrative, through examples in two or three Romance languages. It will therefore examine the process of establishing a critical text: the handwritten tradition, the importance of variants and error, building of a stemma codicum, the critical edition of a text.

LA STORIA DI INTERNET COME ARTEFATTO CULTURALE
LA STORIA DI INTERNET È UNO DEI TEMI DI STORIA DELLA TECNOLOGIA MAGGIORMENTE STUDIATI E APPROFONDITI.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI ANALIZZARE QUESTA STORIA DAL PUNTO DI VISTA DEL SUO SIGNIFICATO CULTURALE E SOCIALE
LE TECNOLOGIE DELLA COMUNICAZIONE NON SONO SOLO DEGLI STRUMENTI PER COMUNICARE, MA SOPRATTUTTO DEI DISPOSITIVI CHE MODIFICANO LE RELAZIONI TRA GLI INDIVIDUI CHE LI UTILIZZANO.
IL CARATTERE DI ARTEFATTO CULTURALE DELLA RETE E DEI SUOI SERVIZI NON È ANCORA STATO ADEGUATAMENTE APPROFONDITO DALLA LETTERATURA SULL'ARGOMENTO.
IL CORSO SI PROPONE DI GUARDARE LA STORIA DELLA RETE NELLA PROSPETTIVA DI UN DISPOSITIVO CHE HA TRASFORMATO L'ORGANIZZAZIONE DEL SISTEMA DI COMUNICAZIONE TRA GLI ESSERI UMANI, ALMENO IN QUELLA PARTE PIÙ SVILUPPATA DI ESSO NELLA QUALE L'ACCESSO ALLA RETE È RESO DISPONIBILE DALLE CONDIZIONI SOCIO-POLITICHE.
IL CORSO AFFRONTERÀ SIA LA STORIA DELLO SVILUPPO DELLA TECNOLOGIA ATTRAVERSO UNA TECNICA GENEALOGICA, SIA LE CONSEGUENZE CHE QUESTO SVILUPPO STA PROVOCANDO O POTREBBE PROVOCARE IN TERMINI DI OPPORTUNITÀ MA ANCHE DI RISCHI.
L'EMPOWERMENT COMUNICATIVO OFFERTO DALLE TECNOLOGIE CI OFFRE, INFATTI, CONTEMPORANEAMENTE DELLE OCCASIONI DI NUOVA LIBERTÀ E NUOVI SPAZI APERTI, MA INSIEME ANCHE GRANDI OCCASIONI DI CONTROLLO E DI DIPENDENZA DAGLI STRUMENTI.
SOLO LA CAPACITÀ DI INFORMATION E MEDIA LITERACY POSSONO DIFENDERCI DAI RISCHI E METTERCI IN CONDIZIONE DI APPROFITTARE DELL'ACCESSO AD ESSE.

The course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind informed by cognitive sciences. Cognitive science investigates complex organisms at the information-processing level of analysis, and it can be defined a peculiar level in the sense that it is suspended between two worlds. On the one hand, there is the ordinary image of ourselves as persons, namely as self-conscious, intentional, rational agents. On the other hand, we have the sub-personal sphere of the cerebral events, as investigated by neuroscience. Therefore, one of the main tasks for the philosopher of psychology is to unravel this peculiarity, trying to shed some light upon the relations between these different ways of describing ourselves. This course critically explores some classical attempts to accomplish this task.

In the first part of the course, origins and history of advertising will be illustrated, along with the organization of advertising industry and its main professional figures; drawing on many case studies, different advertising techniques and strategies will be presented, showing how these change according to different media (printed ads, TV commercials, web ads, etc. will be taken into consideration). Finally, theoretical frameworks will be discussed and applied to specific advertisements.
The second part of the course focuses on what is probably to be considered advertising’s main ‘resource’ and most longstanding weakness at the same time: the use of stereotypes. After addressing stereotypes in theoretical terms and explaining the reasons for their widespread use and ‘efficacy’, we will focus on three categories of stereotypes commonly found in advertisements: 1) gender and ‘heteronormativity’ (how are female and male subjects and bodies depicted in ads? What are the reasons for and the effects of privileging heterosexual couples?); 2) age (which products/services/goods is the use of elderly in advertising limited to? Are old women and old men ‘used’ in the same way?); 3) race (in which roles non-Caucasian people feature in in advertising images and discourse?). Several forms of communication will be deconstructed and re-constructed in order to challenge common places and to analyze how (hetero)sexism, racism, and ageism work in advertising.

First Class: Wednesday October 7, 2015


Objectives:
Students are expected to acquire the advanced skills required to analyze complex texts and the literary phenomena of the Anglophone world viewed in a transcultural context, also in relation to translation and the teaching of literature. They are also expected to refine their ability to employ in a problematic manner the sophisticated theoretical tools which will enable them to engage in a culturalist and linguistic analysis of texts and cultural phenomena, as well as in the analysis of the interrelations between literary language and other narrative forms.

Programme

The course will set out by attempting an historical and cultural synthesis of the different strands that went into the making of British Modernism, which was at the same time a transnational phenomenon and a crucial passage in the history of English literature. The study of some of the major Modernist poets’ and novelists’ main texts will serve the purpose of casting light on the theoretical significance of the formal and stylistic experimentations that went into their making. This way, it will become possible to then understand the role those theories played once an institutionalized version of ‘Modernism’ became the foundation of the academic teaching of English literature.
