The programme is divided into a theoretical and applied section, the latter with use of Language Technologies for linguistic data analisys.
The theoretical section will introduce the following themes: argument structure of verbs, word classes and lexical information, basic concepts in semantics and theories on meaning, combinations of, and interactions between, words.
The applied section, with the help of the tools of information technology in the computer lab, will illustrate the research methodologies in use for linguistic data, in particular for the extraction of words, of combinations of words, and for their different typologies; it will also be devoted to a survey of frequency data which can be drawn from the existing corpora presented in the lab.
The applied section will be supervised by Dr. Piunno, expert in Language Technologies and corpus linguistics.

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.

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 course discusses the epistemic dynamics that result in new beliefs and new knowledge when new information is released. In particular, we discuss the effect of information release – be such information truthful or not – on the community of epistemic agents that receive the information and can mutually engage in communication exchanges. To this purpose, the course will introduce the formal representation of (individual and collective) notions of knowledge and belief, the formal representation of information release dynamics (public observation, private or semi-public observation, testimony by other agents), and it will discuss how the connection within a given group of agents (or among different groups of agents) can be relevant in the way opinions are spread within given societies of epistemic agents.
In order to do so, the course will introduce one formal framework for representing (and reasoning about) the phenomena above: Dynamic Epistemic Logic, which extends the static framework of Epistemic Logic. In addition, the course will discuss some basic aspects of Judgement Aggregation Theory, Belief Merging and Network Epistemology.
The approach is ‘bottom-up’: we start from puzzles, problems of reasoning, and specific phenomena we need to understand, we go to tools designed to solve or approach them, and then we move further to the theories in which such tools are defined and discussed. The course will be taught in English.

The course deals with the study and analysis of images and it refers particularly to the social aspects that affect the meaning construction. The first part of the course will provide the analytical and methodological tools to analyze images and photos (Roland Barthes' and Susan Sontag's theories will be considered). The second part will focus on the public and social uses of photos, devoting a special attention to the images of controversial pasts (wars, natural disasters, violence, terrorist attacks). Moreover, the following topics will be illustrated: a) the relation between memory and photography; b) the digital photography; c) selfie and social identities; d) photography as art; e) photography and fashion. The third part will deal with the use of images in advertising.

The course is divided in two parts: the first one is a general introduction on the basic concepts of public communication. The included topics are: the Forms and Devices of Public Communication, the Relationship between Power and Communication, the Features of the Public Space as a space of discussion articulated on Global Communication Networks. The first part will mainly include frontal lessons supported by PowerPoint presentations.
The second part of the course explores the relationship between public communication and the media.

The course aims to explore the history and present of journalistic photography, its role as a 'window on the world' in modern visual culture and in the formation of what can be considered a 'global consciousness'.

The work of the main personalities who have marked the history of photojournalism will be retraced, as well as the relationship between myth and reality of the profession, between the aspiration to objectivity and the compromises of the editorial chain, between denunciation and censorship, from its origins to the present day. From the golden age of magazines to war photography. The current crisis of the profession. The new challenges of information through images to the aestheticisation and decontextualisation of journalistic photography in the digital age.

Elements of knowledge will be provided on the themes of digital manipulation, debunking of 'hoaxes' in the age of fakenews, political storytelling and post-truth, with an emphasis on the ethics of photography, the main codes of ethics, the legal rules for the use of images and copyright.

The workshop will make students measure themselves directly with the analysis of the snapshots of the major photojournalists and the most significant magazines, enabling them to read them also in relation to the period, the economy, the figurative art and the history of the mentality of the societies in which they were taken, so as to contribute to consolidating their overall knowledge of the modern and contemporary age.

RUSSIA, AN EMPIRE
The course will focus on empire as a peculiar element of continuity in contemporary Russian history despite the radical changes that the country has undergone. The unique characteristics of Russia’s imperial model will be analyzed in its various forms and manifestations, along with the diverse political strategies of Russian governors between 1800 and 1900s, from the Russian Empire through the USSR to the Russian Federation. The national question, the broader geographical dimension, the forms of government, foreign policies and international geopolitical visions will be studied in depth. The different imperial ideologies will also be examined.

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.

The course focuses on the relationship between language and narrative from a cognitive and evolutionary point of view. In contrast to the theories considering the sentence as the essence of language, the course suggests an interpretative hypothesis based on the priority of discourse over sentence; specifically, it is suggested that the ability to tell stories is the distinctive trait both of language and human nature.
The course includes experimental activities aimed at supporting the theoretical model proposed.

The course deals with the relationship between music and society focusing on the following twofold aspects: a) “music as agency” in everyday life; b) the social construction of the carriers of musical texts and musicians. The first part of the course will provide to the students the analytical tools for understanding how and to what extent the music can contribute to construct the social meanings of experience, time and space. In everyday life music can function as technology of memory, emotions, cognition, constructing for the listeners frames, within which they are asked to experience their life. There are songs that contributed to defend human rights, others that became symbols of an epoch, historically and/or politically. The second part will address and problematize the notion of musical genius, by showing its social aspects. It will focus on the relation among genius, ethnicity, gender and social class

Artificial intelligence and society: data-driven decisions and algorithmic interpretation
1) the algorithmic decision-making process. who is accountable for data-driven algorithmic decisions? previsions and probability are not 100% sure. human beings are slower than machines and less proficient with data analysis, but who can guarantee the correctness of decisions?
2) According to alan Turing machines need to predent to act like human beings. they don't have to be like them. In order for them to be intelligent they need to make mistakes. who can control which decision is the good one, in open context? We would need counter-factual reality in order to check if the decision was really the better one.
3) technology is a sociotechnical system that want to organize the external world, not to understand it. Who is in control of such a governamental system? Which are the objectives of the technological system? Which are the rules for the sharing of the same environment, that includes human beings, other living beings and socio-technical tools?

the reading list will be defined at the beginning of the collective seminar.

The course will be divided into two parts. In the first, we will address some of the main issues of the contemporary discussion on philosophy and technology, with particular regard for the connected ethical problems: the relationship between humans and machines; the perspectives and challenges of AI; communication in the age of the internet; machines as moral patients and agents. In the second part of the course, with the help of some European Commission officials, we will debate together some of these issues.

The laboratory aims at providing theoretical and practical tools for public communication and dissemination of scientific contents. To this aim, it is organized into the following main topics:
- Planning a scientific paper: the development of research questions, literature research, draft, stylistic and scientific review, submission
- The structure of a scientific paper: abstract, keywords, discussion of the literature, introduction of data, discussion of results, citations and references
- Readability and verifiability
- Quality of argumentation
- Guidelines of techniques of scientific writing
- The language style: accuracy, punctuation, scientific English

The course aims to explore the history and present of news journalism today, its role in society and in shaping public opinion, against the backdrop of a growing tendency towards manipulation of the news, as well as the role of the publishing market in the drift of journalistic storytelling towards the 'infotainment'.

Stories of of enquiries and investigative journalists in Italy and abroad will be retraced, exploring their role today between limits, growing threats and new opportunities; the contribution to investigations, the selection of sources; interlocutors and research tools on the ground and online, Italian and EU databases, access rights to institutional data (Foia and similar).

We will talk about resources from datajournalism, social media, and the implications of artificial intelligence on content production and consumption, between the digital revolution and the crisis of journalism.

A focus will be devoted to the anomalous role and space reserved to news in Italian news, the function of these editorial choices, between audience and censorship, the comparison with the market and the consumption of information in advanced democracies. We will also analyse investigative journalism and big news in the perspective of our republican history: from the role of the mafias to the 'strategia della tensione', from the omnipresence of the 'Italian mysteries' to the role of memory between newsroom and civil conscience.

Elements will be provided on the communication of public institutions, major private companies and advertisers, the role of press offices, corporate communication and crisis management, up to indirect lobbying.
The interaction of news with religious denominations will be examined (from Vatican information to relations with the Jewish community, Islamic and other associations), as well as the issue of secularism.

The evolution of the right to report news will be covered: Italian ethical documents (minors, hate speech, migration, feminicides, gender equality) and EU regulations, protection of sources and whistleblowing, privacy and information rights, publication of wiretaps and press offences, threats to reporters, as well as some of the tools for verifying and debunking news, in the era of conspiracy and online disinformation.

The workshop will allow students to measure themselves directly with the reconstruction of case studies and the writing of texts for the various media: from the big news to the evolution of breaking news (environmental emergencies, health, terrorism, climate change), up to current affairs pages (mafias, crime, white news and constructive journalism, judiciary, gossip, sport), examining styles, languages and stereotypes.

This is an introductive course to sociolinguistics. The epistemological setting of this branch of knowledge will be discussed, and its basic elements and tools will be introduced. Specific attention will be paid to two major sociolinguistic approaches, i.e. correlational and interactional sociolinguistics.

The course focuses on language pathologies, with particular attention to the deficits related to the discursive communication. Among the cases discusses, there are the communicative deficits characterizing pathologies such as autism, schizophrenia, and traumatic brain injury. In such cases, as well as in many neuropsychological and psychopathological disorders, the communicative impairments mainly concern the level of discourse and depend on deficits that primarily involve the cognitive dimension, rather than the linguistic one. Thus, the study of discourse disorders is particularly useful to investigate a more general question that is extremely relevant from a theoretical point of view: the relationships between language and cognition.

The new title of the course “Linguistics, media and advertising” is based on a specific idea of the linguistic and the iconic configuration of the advertising messages. Over the enormous combinations of images and words, that have been elaborated between sense/nonsense, blends and portmanteau words, weasel words and implicatures,
neologisms and mysterious and complex brands, it is possible to find, to count and to describe some constant rules, restrains and schemas, that command every communicative process addressed by the art directors and the copy-writers to the consumers and to the other kinds of advs targets. These rules can be ascribed to the relevant chapter of Design, and for this the course is divided in three parts:
- The first part aims to explain what is adverting and to list and to illustrate the different typologies of advertising (commercial, political, institutional, advocacy, etc.), the diverse kinds of the advertisements (from posters to folders, commercials to pitch-spot, etc.) and their elements (from headline to body copy or jingle, etc.);
- In the second part, the concept of design is described in the light of the cognitive pattern, the imagery definition, the visual word paradigm and the textual theory. The idea of design as process aimed to project and to create new objects and identities is fundamental for explaining the sense of texts without coherence and cohesion, as wel as those of advertising.
- In the third, but not least part, the particular phonological, morphological, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical features of the advertising messages will be analyzed examining a series of examples, classified on the base of a single trait: e.g., the kind of product, the typology of consumer, the identity of the narrator, etc.
The lexical aspects and the brand names are analyzed in-depth, from several points of view, evaluating the importance of naming, as one of the most relevant strategy for creating connotative identities and the so called top ten. On this topic. it is analized the change of the old strategies linkef to interent impact-
