Contents
THE FORMATION OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD IS AT THE BASIS OF THE STUDIES OF THE COURSE THROUGH WHICH IT IS POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THE GROWTH OF THE ATLANTIC REVOLUTIONS AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE FIRST TOTAL WAR (1776-1825) IN THE ATLANTIC AND THE MEDITERRANEAN WORLD, THE BIRTH OF NEW STATES AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF ANCIENT INSTITUTIONS, ANALYZING THE PROCESSES AND THE POLITICAL, MILITARY AND CULTURAL CONFLICT AND THE STABILIZATION OF THE MODERN NATIONAL PROJECTS (1880-1920).
THE MONOGRAPHIC SECTION WILL BE ABOUT SOME ORIGINAL STUDY CASES (E.G. ITALY, FRANCE, SPAIN, MEXICO, COLOMBIA, ARGENTINA) IN ORDER TO ANALYZE THE DIFFERENT STEPS OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STATE AND NATION EXPERIENCES, CHECKING LINKS AND DIFFERENCES. A PARTICULAR ROLE WILL BE GIVEN TO THE AUDIO-VISUAL AND LITERARY MATERIAL.
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS CHARACTERIZED BY A SEMINARIAN FORMULA IN ORDER TO SUPPORT AN APPROACH AND A CONTINUE DIALOGUE ABOUT THE MAIN TOPICS FACED WITH THE STUDENT WHICH HAVE AN ADVANCED LEVEL THROUGH NEW TEXTS.
SOME BRIEF SEMINARS WILL BE ADDED TO EXAMINE TWO TOPICS: THE INTRODUCTION TO THE DEBATE ABOUT THE GLOBAL HISTORY AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE ROLE OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF ITALY DURING THE FORMATION OF THE MODERN STATE. BESIDES, AUDIOVISUALS AND 1800’S AND 1900’S LITERATURE WILL BE UTILIZED.
Verification of learning
THE DIALOGUE AND THE ACADEMIC APPROACH WITH THE CLASSROOM WILL BE THE WAY TO STUDY DURING THE COURSE. SOME OPERATIVE INSTRUMENTS WILL BE CREATED THANKS TO FACEBOOK AND A WEBSITE TO WORK QUICKLY WITH THE CLASSROOM EVERY DAY.
THE ORAL EXAM WILL BE ABOUT THE TEXTS ADOPTED.
