| THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS COURSE IS TO INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO A CRITICAL UNDERSTANDING OF SOCIAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO ENVIRONMENT, FROM POLLUTION TO FOOD SOPHISTICATION AND ECOLOGICAL DISASTERS. JOURNALISTIC INVESTIGATION WILL HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS THAT WILL LEAD THEM TO A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL REASONS BEHIND THE SO-CALLED ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION STUDENTS WILL GAIN KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY, THEORIES AND METHODOLOGIES OF JOURNALISTIC INVESTIGATION. FURTHERMORE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PARTICULAR INVESTIGATIVE GENRE AND JOURNALISM AND, MORE GENERALLY, BETWEEN THE INFORMATION SYSTEM AND THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY CAPITALIST SOCIETY. COMPETENCE IN APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING PARTICIPANTS ARE EXPECTED TO PROVE THEIR ABILITY IN IMPLEMENTING THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE THROUGH A NUMBER OF WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES IN WHICH THEY WILL TRAIN THEMSELVES TO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISTIC INVESTIGATIONS BASED ON THE THEORIES, METHODS AND CASES STUDIED DURING THE COURSE. |

| AMONG COUNTLESS GENRES AND SUB-GENRES OF JOURNALISM, THE INVESTIGATIVE BRANCH HOLDS AN IMPORTANT POSITION IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN SCIENCES. WHILE THE METHODS USED (FINDING SOURCES, VERIFYING THEIR RELIABILITY, ON-SITE OBSERVATION, INTERVIEWS, CONSULTING WEB DATABASES) BRING IT VERY CLOSE TO QUALITATIVE SOCIAL RESEARCH, ITS MAIN OBJECTIVE, NAMELY REPORTING THE TRUTH ABOUT INCONVENIENT AND DANGEROUS SOCIAL PHENOMENA (WARS, CORRUPTION, CRIME) PLACES IT IN THE GREAT TRADITION OF PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH. THIS COURSE AIMS AT INTRODUCING STUDENTS TO THIS MILITANT FORM OF CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE SOCIAL WORLD THROUGH A THREEFOLD PATHWAY: FIRSTLY, IT FOCUSES ON THE ANALYSIS OF THOSE (CLASSICAL AND MODERN) SOCIAL THEORIES ACCORDING TO WHICH JOURNALISM WAS BORN AND DEVELOPED CLOSE TO THE CAPITALIST PRODUCTION SYSTEM, AND JOURNALISTIC ACTIVITY IS SUBORDINATED TO THE TASK OF TELLING THE TRUTH; SECONDLY, IT PROJECTS ITSELF IN MEDIA RES, INTO THE HEART OF THOSE ENQUIRIES THAT HAVE MADE THIS TRUTH A REAL SOCIO-CULTURAL PRACTICE. THE TYPE OF INVESTIGATION HERE SELECTED – AND THIS BRINGS US TO THE THIRD PATHWAY – A GENRE THAT IN ITALY BOASTS AN ILLUSTRIOUS TRADITION FOUNDED NOT SO MUCH BY PROFESSIONAL SOCIOLOGISTS AS BY WRITERS ANIMATED BY GREAT CIVIC COMMITMENT, IS THE ONE RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC HAS TRAGICALLY REAPED THE POISONED FRUITS OF CAPITALIST DEVELOPMENT IN RECENT DECADES: CROP DESTRUCTION, POLLUTION, FOOD SOPHISTICATION, IN SHORT, REAL ASSAULTS ON HUMAN HEALTH. THE WORLDWIDE INSTITUTIONAL SUCCESS OF THE FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE MOVEMENT, FOUNDED BY GRETA THUNBERG, HIGHLIGHTS THE URGENCY OF THINKING ABOUT AND IMPLEMENTING TRULY SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF ECONOMY. THE COURSE ALSO INCLUDES WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES IN WHICH STUDENTS WILL PRACTICE WRITING SURVEYS BASED ON THEORIES, METHODS AND TOPICS ADDRESSED DURING THE COURSE. |
