Teaching Methods
THE FIRST PART WILL BE DEDICATED TO CLASSICAL AUTHORS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HISTORICAL STUDIES, FROM TO THE AGE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT UNTIL THE AGE OF THE CONSOLIDATION OF PROFESSIONAL AND ACADEMIC HISTORIOGRAPHIES BETWEEN THE NINETEENTH AND TWENTIETH CENTURIES. THE EXPERIENCE OF THE DIFFERENT CURRENTS WILL BE EXAMINED BY ANALYZING BOTH THE PRACTICAL METHODOLOGIES AND THE GENERAL VISIONS, RELATED TO THE POLITICAL AND INTELLECTUAL SITUATION. A SPECIFIC LOOK WILL BE GIVEN TO THE ITALIAN LABORATORY, FROM RENAISSANCE EUROPE TO THE AGE OF THE HISTORIOGRAPHIC AND INTELLECTUAL RENEWAL OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.

THE SECOND PART WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE CONTEMPORARY AGE, ANALYSING THE HISTORICAL-POLITICAL EVENTS AND THE HISTORIOGRAPHIC CURRENTS, DISCUSSING THE PRODUCTION AND CIRCULATION OF THE HISTORIANS’ PRODUCTIONS THROUGH THE INTELLECTUAL AND MATERIAL BIOGRAPHIES OF THE PROTAGONISTS. AN IMPORTANT SECTION WILL BE DEDICATED TO THE NEWS OF THE LAST DECADES, IN PARTICULAR TO RESEARCH AND DEBATES ON WAR CRISES, POLITICAL VIOLENCE, THE CULTURES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, THE COMPARISON ON THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONS AND THEIR IDENTITIES, THE MULTIPLICATION OF STUDIES AND CURRENTS THAT HAVE DEALT WITH GLOBAL HISTORY.
