Bulgakov's most significant work will appear some decades after his death; this paradox will be explained in the frame of a crucial problem: the difficult relation between literature and power in Russia. As to the specific case, attention will be paid to the relation between Bulgakov (as a writer) and the Soviet power, including the well known letter to the Politburo and the subsequent conversation by phone with Stalin. Two SF novels (The Fatal Eggs, Heart of a Dog) will also be taken into account.
After the course students should:
1. know Bulgakov’s work, especially the three novels mentioned in the programme;
2. know the main features of the Russian literary panorama and its relations with the social and political context;
3. be able to apply the most important critical tools, especially in an analysis of “The Master and Margarita”;

FRENCH LITERATUREFirst Semester8L-LIN/03ita

Learning objectives

The French literature course for Master's students aims to deepen the knowledge and refine the analytical (i. e. stylistic, philological, rhetorical and hermeneutic) tools acquired during the Licence. The monographic programme focuses on the reading and in-depth study of a particular genre, author or work.

PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGYSecond Semester8L-LIN/01ita

Learning objectives

Phonetics and Phonology is a deepening (during specialized studies) of General Linguistics (taught in L-10). The class is aimed at analyzing the vocal behavior of speakers. The vocal behavior of speakers is an integral part of their linguistic behavior. The ultimate goal is always to develop predictive (non-normative) rules necessary to build the grammar of a given language. But to make reliable predictions, you need to be able to measure the starting data. In order to obtain reliable and measurable data, just listening to linguistic sounds is absolutely inadequate for the purpose. Auditory perception must be accompanied by methodological tools and acoustic measurement techniques. It is therefore necessary to study the acoustics of linguistic sounds, as well as the anatomical physiology that produces them. Traditionally, these two approaches are called acoustic phonetics and articulatory phonetics, respectively: both will be taught.
In addition to Phonetics, Phonology will be taught. The phonological component (as well as the phonetic one) should already be well known and defined to the learners, who in the Bachelor’s degree have taken the exam of General Linguistics. During the Master's Degree, with the class of Phonetics and Phonology, the learner will deepen and learn further methodologies and analysis techniques specifically dedicated to Phonology. In particular, auto-segmental phonological models and the relationships between intonation and pragmatics will be discussed.
In compliance with the so-called "Dublin indicators" – as better detailed in the "Evaluation" field – the objectives will be aimed at achieving:
1) Knowledge and comprehension skills: ability to transcribe in I.P.A. a sample of speakers
2) Applied knowledge and understanding: ability to produce a minimum scientific phonology from a set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
3) Making judgments: ability to compare and evaluate comparatively different phonological models that account in a different and competing way for the same set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
4) Communication skills: ability to communicate the reasons for the comparative judgment referred to in point 3)
5) Learning skills: ability to orient oneself in the relevant scientific bibliography.

The aim is to deepen the theoretical knowledge and notions of literary history previously assimilated, with a view to putting them to active use. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. The course also aims to introduce students to the methodology of scientific research and the preparation of a research project. The course will therefore provide students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with the hermeneutic tools to understand the texts addressed (1: knowledge and understanding, and 2: applying knowledge and understanding) and the expressive ones to form, nourish, nuance and discuss their judgment on questions of literary history through a meticulous reading of the texts (3: making judgements), as well as to communicate clearly and effectively on these themes in front of a heterogeneous audience (4: communication skills) and extend the reflection in an autonomous through the acquisition of the skills that will allow them to undertake the subsequent course of study (5: learning skills).

Learning objectives

Phonetics and Phonology is a deepening (during specialized studies) of General Linguistics (taught in L-10). The class is aimed at analyzing the vocal behavior of speakers. The vocal behavior of speakers is an integral part of their linguistic behavior. The ultimate goal is always to develop predictive (non-normative) rules necessary to build the grammar of a given language. But to make reliable predictions, you need to be able to measure the starting data. In order to obtain reliable and measurable data, just listening to linguistic sounds is absolutely inadequate for the purpose. Auditory perception must be accompanied by methodological tools and acoustic measurement techniques. It is therefore necessary to study the acoustics of linguistic sounds, as well as the anatomical physiology that produces them. Traditionally, these two approaches are called acoustic phonetics and articulatory phonetics, respectively: both will be taught.
In addition to Phonetics, Phonology will be taught. The phonological component (as well as the phonetic one) should already be well known and defined to the learners, who in the Bachelor’s degree have taken the exam of General Linguistics. During the Master's Degree, with the class of Phonetics and Phonology, the learner will deepen and learn further methodologies and analysis techniques specifically dedicated to Phonology. In particular, auto-segmental phonological models and the relationships between intonation and pragmatics will be discussed.
In compliance with the so-called "Dublin indicators" – as better detailed in the "Evaluation" field – the objectives will be aimed at achieving:
1) Knowledge and comprehension skills: ability to transcribe in I.P.A. a sample of speakers
2) Applied knowledge and understanding: ability to produce a minimum scientific phonology from a set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
3) Making judgments: ability to compare and evaluate comparatively different phonological models that account in a different and competing way for the same set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
4) Communication skills: ability to communicate the reasons for the comparative judgment referred to in point 3)
5) Learning skills: ability to orient oneself in the relevant scientific bibliography.

Learning objectives

Over time, travel literature, in particular travel to the East, has been a source of valuable documentation of otherwise little-known realities, but has also contributed to the construction, in the so-called Western culture, of stereotyped visions far from actual reality. This has been repeatedly highlighted, in particular since the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism (1978) and subsequently in numerous other works resulting from the intense debate that Said's work has brought to light. The course, which focuses primarily on travel documentation in Iran and adjacent areas in the nineteenth century, aims to provide students with the basic tools to (1) recognize whether and to what extent the travel records of European travelers in Western and Central Asia, and specifically in Iran, have been used to create a concept of negative otherness; (2) to know the social and cultural reality of the Iranian world in the Qajar era (XIX - early XX century), through the analysis of the experiences of some typologically very different Italian travelers and the documentation that has come down to us of their experiences; (3) understand the interdisciplinary value of information conveyed by travellers; (4) to evaluate the socio-cultural environment of origin and the ideological formation of travellers, which have strongly influenced their experiences and analyses transmitted directly or indirectly in travel reports. More in detail, after a brief review of the type of Italian travelers in Iran over the centuries, the travelers who will be treated, compared, and whose image of the culture and people of those places will be evaluated, are: (1) Gaetano Osculati, traveler and scholar of natural sciences and Felice De Vecchi, painter passionate about natural sciences and archeology, traveling together in Iran in 1841 (G. Osculati, Note d'un viaggio nella Persia e nelle Indie Orientali; F. De Vecchi, Giornale di carovana); (2) Joseph Anaclerius, military resident in Persia from 1862 to 1865 (Anaclerius, Persia descritta); (3) Eteocle Lorini, Italian economist and politician, resident in Persia 1897-1899 to write a monograph on behalf of the Italian Ministry of the Treasury (E. Lorini, La Persia economica contemporanea).

Expected learning outcomes at the end of the course: 1) (Knowledge and understanding) basic knowledge of the historical and cultural reality of some phases of the history of Iran - in particular, Qajar era (XIX – initial part of XX) and Pahlavi era (XX century); 2) (Applied knowledge and understanding) critical ability to read travel reports, identifying stereotypes generated by the cultural and ideological formation of travelers and conveyed over time; the students will also be able to use the acquired knowledge to better understand, analyze and describe the contemporary political processes of the geopolitical area examined; 3) (Making judgments) flexibility of judgment and ability to compare and choose based on a vision of Iran and the Middle East area more critical than that of Eurocentric orientation, commonly widespread, also thanks to travel literature; 4) (Communication skills) acquisition of communication techniques appropriate to the description of the problems treated thanks to the involvement of students in the laboratory activities carried out during the course and to the forms of verification in itinere; 5) (Learning skills) ability to critically read the travel literature concerning Iran and other Middle Eastern countries of different historical periods and to adequately use basic bibliographic and historical research tools; these skills are acquired thanks to joint laboratory activities and those of individual in-depth study.

Learning objectives

The Geography course aims to provide analyses and insights into the geographical realities of the various branches of the discipline, methodological and technological innovations and the positive effects on teaching, also through the acquisition of soft skills, simulations and gamification.
The future geography teacher must be able to critically and operationally navigate the sources and tools of a constantly evolving discipline.
The course intends to develop critical skills that will allow them to work individually, or in groups on autonomous projects also through, lateral thinking, or creative thinking, questioning stereotypes and commonplaces that accompany the study of geography.
Group work and cooperative learning is the basis of the entire knowledge process, so that the student will be able to work on formative and didactic processes.
Expected learning objectives at the end of the course, the student should be able to:
1. To know and understand the main elements characterising geography and, in particular, the didactics of geography and the geography of tourism.
2. Know how to analyse and understand the theoretical elements acquired, in actions and policies on the territory, with concrete examples, business plans, swot analysis, study and application of case studies.
3. The student should be able to make personal judgements concerning the geography of tourism and the didactics of geography.
4. The student should be able to adequately communicate the knowledge and skills acquired in the course of study using the specific vocabulary.
5. The student must be able to independently understand and interpret phenomena concerning the geography of tourism and the didactics of geography, including those do not present in the course.

Learning objectives

The course will analyze and discuss the main themes that define the contents of the Modern Age from the 15th century to the first half of the 17th century, with an initial focus on historiographical categories, interpretative approaches, sources, and the specific tools of the discipline. The educational objective is to provide students with a solid foundation for acquiring both knowledge and a critical understanding of the “general history” of the Modern Age, particularly concerning events that shaped the geopolitical area of Central Europe, including Bohemia, Hungary, the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth (Rzeczpospolita), the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, and the Ottoman Empire.
The lectures will primarily cover the following topics:
 Europe and its interaction with the extra-European world
 Crises and identities in Italy and modern Europe
 The society of the Ancien Régime: estates and classes
 Economic models: land, labor, finance, and markets in the Modern Age
 Political systems and their dynamics: empire, monarchies, and republics
 Family and demography
A particular focus will be dedicated to a thorough and clear examination of diplomatic relations between the Holy See and continental and Central Europe.
1. Knowledge and understanding
The course will enable students to develop a solid understanding of historical events in the Modern Age, with particular emphasis on the political, social, and economic dynamics that shaped Central and Eastern Europe between the 17th and 18th centuries. Through a critical approach, students will learn to interpret and contextualize international political and diplomatic affairs, understanding their historical roots. The analysis of institutional transformations and the processes of separation and integration that affected this region will provide a broader comprehension of the historical evolution of the states of Southeastern Europe.
2. Applied knowledge and understanding
Through interactive lessons, classroom debates, and seminar activities, students will be able to apply the acquired knowledge to specific case studies. They will be encouraged to conduct both individual and group research, implementing historical investigation methodologies and developing original contributions. The use of primary sources and the critical analysis of historical documents will offer an opportunity to refine their reading and interpretation skills regarding past testimonies.
3. Autonomy of judgment
Throughout the course, students will develop the ability to analyze and synthesize texts and original documents, comparing them with major historiographical interpretations. They will be encouraged to formulate independent judgments, fostering critical thinking that allows them to assess traditional historical narratives autonomously. Engaging with different methodological approaches within the discipline will enhance their understanding of interpretative models and enable them to develop
personal analyses based on a solid knowledge foundation.
4. Communication skills
The course will provide students with the opportunity to improve their presentation skills, both oral and written. Classroom presentations and seminar activities will serve as moments of discussion, helping to refine communication techniques and develop the ability to argue research findings with clarity and precision. The use of digital sources and the exploration of historical dissemination toolswill further enhance their familiarity with modern knowledge-sharing techniques.
5. Learning skills
The course’s teaching approach will promote the acquisition of a rigorous and structured study method, essential for engaging with Modern History critically and independently. Group work and adherence to scheduled deadlines will contribute to the development of organizational and collaborative skills, which are fundamental for historical research and academic studies. The continuous assessment of acquired knowledge will help students identify any gaps and progressively improve their learning methods.
