KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING STARTING FROM THE METHODOLOGICAL AND PHILOLOGICAL PREMISES INDISPENSABLE FOR THE STUDY OF MEDIEVAL INSTITUTIONS, WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO SOUTHERN ITALY, THE STUDENT WILL - KNOW THE HISTORY OF FACTS AND AT THE SAME TIME THE HISTORY OF IDEAS, WITH THE AIM OF IDENTIFYING AND UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTURAL AND CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF THE THESE INSTITUTIONS; - ACQUIRE THE INTERPRETATIVE TOOLS NECESSARY TO GRASP INSTITUTIONAL PHENOMENA IN THEIR SPECIFICITY BUT ALSO IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER SOCIAL COMPONENTS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO - SELECT AND READ (DESIRABLY IN MEDIEVAL LATIN) THE MAIN SOURCES RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF MEDIEVAL AGE INSTITUTIONS AND PROCESS THEIR INFORMATION, GRASPING THE ELEMENTS THAT OUTLINE THEIR FUNCTIONS AND ROLE IN THE MORE GENERAL HISTORICAL CONTEXT, ITALIAN AND EUROPEAN; - TO MOVE EASILY IN THE HISTORICAL DYNAMICS THAT LED TO THE PRESERVATION OF MEDIEVAL DOCUMENTATION AND TO REFLECT ON THE MEANING OF "HISTORICAL MEMORY" IN THE DIFFERENT CONTEXTS THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE MEDIEVAL PERIOD. AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO - USE THE KNOWLEDGE AND METHODOLOGY ACQUIRED TO INTERPRET THE VARIOUS FORMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURES IN DIFFERENT STUDY, WORK AND RESEARCH CONTEXTS; - UNDERSTAND THE TIMES, PLACES AND MODES OF PRODUCTION OF MEDIEVAL DOCUMENTATION. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - COMMUNICATE THEIR KNOWLEDGE IN OTHER DISCIPLINARY CONTEXTS AND IN THE WORLD OF WORK; - COMMUNICATE, BY MEANS OF TRADITIONAL AND COMPUTER TOOLS, THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED, ALSO RELYING ON THE ACQUISITION OF THE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE OF THE DISCIPLINE. LEARNING SKILLS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - USE TRADITIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TOOLS (REPERTORIES, BIBLIOGRAPHIES, EDITIONS OF SOURCES); - USE COMPUTERISED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL RESOURCES (DATABASES); - BEGIN TO CARRY OUT AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, STARTING WITH THE COMPREHENSION AND INTERPRETATION OF HISTORIOGRAPHICAL TEXTS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE MIDDLE AGES AND THEN MOVING ON TO THE SELECTION AND ANALYSIS OF SOURCES; - TO HAVE THE TOOLS TO UPDATE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THROUGH THE USE OF THE RELEVANT SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE. |
