The course aims to describe the phenomena that characterized the transition from vulgar Latin to Italian in the areas of phonology, morphology, syntax and vocabulary, in such a way as to allow students to achieve a good command of the concepts and analysis tools offered by historical grammar. The analysis of the birth and the evolution of the vernacular will be accompanied by a historical, cultural and social contextualization. According to an external linguistic perspective, the salient moments of the history of Italian from the Origins to the contemporary age will be addressed, with particular attention to the progressive imposition of supra-local varieties and a common Italian. The second part of the course will be devoted to text linguistics: students will acquire the skills and tools necessary to analyze texts belonging to different epochs and different text genres.

Introduction to the German Language
The course aims to introduce the students to the German language. First, we will analyze learning theories and learning strategies. Then, after a short introduction into the history of the German Language, we will study linguistic variation and analyze the German language from a contrastive point of view, studying the biggest difficulties of the German language for an Italian learner, such as the German syntax, the German nominal group, problems with the declination and the pronunciation of selected German words, word formation in German as opposed to word formation in Italian.

To this end the course will include the exam of the writings of both books and documents and will show the origin and the historical events of all the main Greek and Latin writings (also in their use in vernacular manuscripts). The course aims to provide an advanced preparation to the analysis of writings, supplied with historical and cultural notions, useful to the correct interpretation of the manuscripts.
The course includes both the examination of copies of documents and codices and the direct exam of manuscripts, visiting archives and libraries. The knowledge of classical languages is recommended. Students with paricular needs are invited to contact the teacher.

The course is open to students with little or no knowledge of ancient Greek. We will cover most of the nominal morphology of ancient Greek; verbal morphology will be covered only to a small extent (present, imperfect, future). Class will be a mixture of exercises, questions and answers, explanation of new grammatical material, practice in reading. Assignments will typically involve a mix of translation, memorization, written practice. Assignments must be prepared thoroughly prior to each class, since class time will often depend on knowledge gained from the assignment.

In our society religion and religious issues have an important space, which can be recognized in different forms of belief.
This class offers an introduction to the principle themes and theories which emerge in the history of the studies about religion/religions. We will try to tackle the difficult question "What is religion? What are religions?". In particular, we will discuss different theories about religion, its essence, its function in the society, up to the last approaches which underline the imbrication of religion with cultures, politics and societies.


Key words and topics (body, gender, violence, space) will be discussed in a comparative and historical approach.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS

As Glenn Bowersock wrote (G. Bowersock, Storms over Byzantium, “New York Review of Books”, 21 November 2013), a real “explosive growth” has been pertaining to Byzantine studies during the last decades all over the world. Indeed, they “grew dramatically from academic obscurity into an industry”.
The first class of Byzantine Civilisation for BA degree is addressed to students of Classic Literatures, History and History of Art. Its main aim is to answer to these two simple questions: What actually was Byzantium? Why is its comprehension so important nowadays?
In the class, students will be provided with specific rudiments of the Byzantine empire geography, as well as of the most relevant historical events. Concurrently, they will be introduced to the most important issues the international scholarship is dealing with, such as (1) the role played by Byzantium in the transmission of ancient literature, art and thought to our modern western civilisation; (2) the relationships Byzantium had with other civilisations and cultures over a millennium, both inside and outside its borders.

The history of Rome is difficult to synthesize, due to the size of the dimension affected by its historical itinerary (VIII century BC-VI century AD), due to the unusual geographical and cultural extension of the spaces involved, due to the experiences and of the transformations typical of the civilization on which Roman hegemony was extended. We will examine the principal moments and the characteristics of the process of realization by the city of Rome of a world hegemony, and its fall. Through the analysis of literary, epigraphic and artistic sources the originality and style of the history of Rome will be highlighted. This critical path is aimed at neutralizing certain clichés on ancient Rome, rooted in Western culture and in the use of improper language.

Bibliography in English, French, German, Spanish must be asked to the teacher.

The course will offer a historical outline of ancient Greek literature from its origins to the Roman age. A selection of key authors and texts will be translated and commented upon in class: Homer, Iliad 5.792-863 and Odyssey 17.290-327; Homeric Hymn to Apollo 146-176; Hesiod, Theogony 174-201; Archilocus, frr. 1, 5, 19 West; Hipponax, fr. 128 West; Solon, frr. 1-3 West; Xenophanes, frr. 1-2 West; Theognis, 19-38; Alcaeus, fr. 6 Voigt; Sappho, fr. 31 Voigt; Pindar, Pythians 1.1-40; Herodotus 3.80-83; Thucydides 1.20-23; Sophocles, Antigone 450-96; Aristophanes, Birds 904-57; Plato, Republic 487e-489a, 493a-c; Isocrates, Panathenaic 1-4; Lysias, Against Heratosthenes 4-13; Callimachus, Aetia frr. 67-75 Pfeiffer; Theocritus, Idylls 11.1-24; Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 3.275-98.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS

As Glenn Bowersock wrote (G. Bowersock, Storms over Byzantium, “New York Review of Books”, 21 November 2013), a real “explosive growth” has been pertaining to Byzantine studies during the last decades all over the world. Indeed, they “grew dramatically from academic obscurity into an industry”.
The first class of Byzantine Civilisation for BA degree is addressed to students of Classic Literatures, History and History of Art. Its main aim is to answer to these two simple questions: What actually was Byzantium? Why is its comprehension so important nowadays?
In the class, students will be provided with specific rudiments of the Byzantine empire geography, as well as of the most relevant historical events. Concurrently, they will be introduced to the most important issues the international scholarship is dealing with, such as (1) the role played by Byzantium in the transmission of ancient literature, art and thought to our modern western civilisation; (2) the relationships Byzantium had with other civilisations and cultures over a millennium, both inside and outside its borders.
