Objectives
THE TEACHING, ARTICULATED IN 2 SECTIONS CARED BY TWO DIFFERENT TEACHERS, AIMS TO ILLUSTRATE THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE PECULIARITIES OF THE ITALIAN MIDDLE AGES WHICH EMERGE PRIMARILY THROUGH THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRACES (MONUMENTAL REMAINS; FINDS FROM EXCAVATION), BUT ALSO FROM THE INTEGRATED INTERPRETATION OF DOCUMENTARY SOURCES OF OTHER NATURE (DOCUMENTS; EPIGRAPHS; COINS)AND FROM ARTISTIC EVIDENCES (SCULPTURAL RELIEFS; WALL PAINTINGS).

PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE RESERVED TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCES AND TO THE PROBLEMS OF THE MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENTS IN SOUTHERN ITALY.


THE 1ST PART (6 CFU - 30 HOURS) INTENDS TO HIGHLIGHT THE ELEMENTS OF CONTINUITY/ DISCONTINUITY AND SPECIFIC INNOVATIONS ON A PERIOD OF PROFOUND CHANGES AND STRONG SOCIO-CULTURAL, POLITICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE DIVERSIFICATION, BY COMPARISON WITH THE REALITIES OF THE HOMOLOGOUS DISCIPLINES THAT DEAL WITH THE CLASSICAL AGE AND LATE ANTIQUITY.

IN THIS SECTION, DEVOTED TO THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE IMPERIAL POWER OF JUSTINIAN AND THE ADVENT OF THE NORMANS IN SOUTHERN ITALY , WILL BE FACED THE FOLLOWING THEMES :

1. THE DEFINITION OF MIDDLE AGES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE ITALIAN REALITY;
2. THE DEFINITION OF 'MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY', WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DISCIPLINE IN ITALY AND IN EUROPE;

3. THE PROBLEMS OF PERIODIZATION AND THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE MIDDLE AGES, COMPARED TO THE ROMAN WORLD IN THE PHASE OF ITS GREATEST EXPANSION AND DURING THE LATE ANTIQUITY;
4. THE MAIN ISSUES, PROCESSES AND ARRANGEMENT OF SETTLEMENTS WHICH CHARACTERIZED THE CIVIL, RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN URBAN AND RURAL WESTERN DURING THE HIGH MEDIEVAL PERIOD.
5. THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE ON THE EARLY MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENTS , ANALYZING THE MODELS OFFERED BY THE MAIN CENTERS OF THE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS POWER , PARTICULARLY IN THE WEST , COMPARING THEM WITH THE SITUATION OF THE SOUTHERN ITALY.

THE 2ND PART OF THE TEACHING (6 CFUS - 30 HOURS), IN A SYNOPTICAL WIEW WITH THE POINTS 3. AND 4. OF THE FIRST SECTION AND THROUGH AN INTEGRATED USE OF DIFFERENT SOURCES, WILL BE TREATS:
-THE MAIN THEMES/ISSUES, PROCESSES AND ARRANGEMENT OF SETTLEMENTS WICH CHARACTERIZED THE CIVIL, RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL LIFE IN URBAN AND RURAL CONTEXTS OF THE MIDDLE AGES, BEGINNING FROM THE XITH CENTURY, WITH PARTICULAR RESPECT TO THE RESULTS OF THE NORMAN, SWABIAN AND ANGEVIN DOMINATION IN SOUTHERN ITALY.
A PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE RESERVED TO:
A. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SETTLEMENTS ON THE HILLS, WITH ITS CASTLES;
B. THE HANDICRAFT PRODUCTIONS AND THE COMMERCIAL TRADES DURING ALL THE MIDDLE AGES.

THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE TEACHING ARE:

• THE ACQUISITION OF GOOD KNOWLEDGE ON THE CHARACTERISTICS AND PECULIARITIES OF THE ITALIAN AND EUROPEAN MIDDLE AGES, SUCH AS IT EMERGES PRIMARILY THROUGH ARCHAEOLOGICAL MARKERS, BUT ALSO FROM THE INTEGRATED INTERPRETATION OF DOCUMENTARY SOURCES OF OTHER NATURE;
• THE ACQUISITION OR THE REFINEMENT OF THE CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE MIDDLE AGES;
• THE ACQUISITION OR THE REFINEMENT OF THE ABILITIES TO APPLY THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGES - ALSO PREGRESSE - TO DIFFERENT REALITIES, WITH THE GOAL OF A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL DYNAMICS OF THE MIDDLE AGES;
• THE ACQUISITION OR REFINEMENT OF AUTONOMOUS CRITICAL SKILLS (DEVELOPABLE THROUGH READINGS OF ESSAYS WHICH OFFER A DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION OF PHENOMENA);
• THE REFINEMENT OF EXPOSITION SKILLS AND THE ACQUISITION OF A SPECIFIC AND APPROPRIATE TECHNICAL VOCABULARY;
• EXPANSION OF LEARNING SKILLS (THROUGH THE ASSIGNMENT OF READINGS OF PROGRESSIVE COMPLEXITY AND THE DIRECT VERIFICATION OF SOME ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITUATIONS, FOLLOWED BY PRACTICAL EXERCISES).
Prerequisites
GOOD BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE MEDIEVAL HISTORY ( IT IS PREFERABLE TO HAVE ALREADY PASSED THE EXAM OF MEDIEVAL HISTORY ).
Contents
IRST PART
- DEFINITION OF THE MATTER ; PROBLEMS OF PERIODIZATION AND DETERMINATION OF THE HISTORICAL AND TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES;
- THE HISTORICAL DEBATE AND THE PROGRESS OF THE STUDIES;
- THE SHAPES AND LOCATIONS OF POWER , WITH PARTICULAR RESPECT TO THE LOMBARD PRESENCES;
- CITY AND COUNTRYSIDE . A. MARKERS OF MATERIAL TRANSFORMATIONS : FROM THE URBAN ‘DECONSTRUCTION’ OF THE LATE ANTIQUITY TO THE DEFINITION OF NEW FORMS OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS USE OF THE SPACE; HOUSING TYPES ; B . THE SETTLEMENT FORMS ( FROM THE END OF THE RUSTIC VILLAS TO THE VILLAGES ; THE ABANDONED VILLAGES; THE HILLY SITLEMENTS ) ; C . BURIAL SPACES .
IIND PART
A. THE SHAPES AND LOCATIONS OF POWER , DURING THE DOMINATION OF NORMANS, SWABIANS AND ANGEVINS (HISTORICAL AND MONUMENTAL ASPECTS).
B. THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCES RELATED TO CITIES, COUNTRYSIDES, HILLS, WITH THE RELATIVE KINDS OF SETTLEMENTS AND OF USE OF THE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS SPACES, CONTINUING ON THE CENTRAL AND FINAL PERIOD OF THE MIDDLE AGES THE SAME ANALYSIS CONDUCTED DURING THE 1ST PART OF THE TEACHING.
Teaching Methods
FRONTAL LESSONS.
SEMINARS AND CONFERENCES HELD BY FACULTY'S COLLEAGUES OR OUTDOOR SPEAKERS.
GUIDED VISITS TO SOME SITES OF THE CAMPANIA WITH SIGNIFICANT PHASES OF LATE ANTIQUE - EARLY MEDIEVAL AND MEDIEVAL PERIODS , AS WELL AS IN MUSEUMS, THEMATIC EXHIBITIONS , ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM WILL CONSIST OF AN ORAL TEST IN THE FORM OF PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE MAIN ISSUES DISCUSSED DURING THE LESSONS.
CANDIDATES WILL BE SUBJECTED TO SOME OF THE LESSONS PROJECTED IMAGES, WHICH WILL HAVE TO BE PROPERLY RECOGNIZED, FRAMED ACCORDING TO THE SPACE-TIME COORDINATES AND DULY COMMENTED UPON IN THE LIGHT OF THE ABOVE AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE BIBLIOGRAPHY.

IT WILL ALSO TAKE A CHECK DURING THE COURSE, THE OUTCOME OF WHICH WILL NOT BE BINDING, BUT WILL AIM TO MOVE TOWARDS ANY CORRECTIONS OR ADDITIONS TO WHAT HAS BEEN LEARNED; THE POSITIVE OUTCOME WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN THE EXAMINATION.

THE PROGRAM ALSO APPLIES TO NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS, WHO MAY TELL THE TEACHER SOME DIFFICULTY IN PREPARING; ON REQUEST, THEY CAN BE ORGANIZED PREPARATORY MEETINGS BEFORE THE EXAMINATION WITH NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS, IN DATES AND TIMES TO BE AGREED.

NOTE: THE SHEETS CONTAINED IN THE 'POWER POINT' FORM A TRACK FOR USE OF THE IMAGES AND DO NOT REPLACE THE LECTURE NOTES, NOR INDICATED BIBLIOGRAPHY, WHICH EVERY STUDENT SHOULD REFER FOR THE EXAM.

FURTHER BIBLIOGRAPHY RECOMMENDED DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SPECIFIC EXAMINATION SUBJECT, BUT IS INTENDED AS A SUGGESTION FOR PERSONAL INSIGHTS.
