Learning objectives

The course aims to offer an overview of the Medieval millennium through an in-depth analysis of a series of phenomena/themes habitually associated with it in the common imagination as keywords (e.g. feudalism, crusade, monasticism, etc.), with the goal of placing them precisely back in their context by clearing the field of anachronisms, clichés and manipulations. An important objective will also be the discussion of the notion of the Middle Ages itself, so as to make the student aware of the problematic nature of this notion, of the historiographical discussions arisen around the definition of its chronological limits, and of the origin of the "negative" view that continues to accompany the term Middle Ages even today in the common imagination and language.

During the course, students will be provided with basic informations about the main political-institutional events that took place during the Medieval millennium, from the crisis of the 3rd century to the era of the 15th century Italian Signorie. At the same time, certain themes (such as monasticism, the invention of the notion of the Crusade, the invention of the institution of the Commune, etc.) that represent the most widespread elements in the construction of the modern imaginary relating to the Medieval era will be explored in depth. Students will thus be able to reconstruct the chronological timeline of the Medieval millennium, with a particular focus on the Italian, Frankish and Germanic-imperial areas, correctly identifying causal links and lines of continuity.
In this way, students will also be able to correctly decrypt the historical and cultural informations with which they come into contact in the communicative reality, also facing with greater awareness the phenomena of ideological distortion to which the notion of the Middle Ages falls victim in common language, including that of the media.
At the end of the course, students should be able, when confronted with an image or a geo-political map, to construct an explanatory discourse on the reality represented, on the basis of some basic indications.

THE SOIL AS A CULTURAL HERITAGE 8 AGR/13 ita

Learning objectives

Training objectives
Module 1
The course aims to present the soil resource as a central element in human life. The course focuses on both active and passive conservation in relation to soil. The active role is addressed to the role of soil in the archaeological context and the possibility of approaching the methodologies of soil science to acquire useful information within the scope of investigations in archaeological sites. As regards the passive role, soil is presented as a fragile resource, not renewable to be preserved as essential for life. This action can also be undertaken using forms of communication proper to the humanities such as art in all its expressions.
Form 2
The pedological investigation in archaeological research finds its application in the analysis of the pedogenic processes that act intensively on the terrestrial surface, By progressively eliminating or modifying the direct and indirect effects of human settlements or vice versa in the analysis of buried pedons for the understanding of the factors that characterized pedogenesis in the ancient environment. The objective of the course is to provide basic knowledge of pedology in order to give the interpretative keys of which natural and anthropogenic processes may have characterized the ancient environment whose imprint is present in "sealed" soils from natural sedimentation or volcanic eruptions in the study.
The course therefore aims to:
1) Increase knowledge of the soil system through understanding its functions and properties
2) Increase knowledge of possible applications of soil sciences to archaeological sciences
3) Acquire the ability to assess the conservation capacity of archaeological finds in the light of the basic properties of the soil
4) Acquire knowledge of soil science language and terminology
5) to increase and improve the ability to learn and to know the soil system and its functions, including through the visual arts

The course aims to offer an overview of the Medieval millennium through an in-depth analysis of a series of phenomena/themes habitually associated with it in the common imagination as keywords (e.g. feudalism, crusade, monasticism, etc.), with the goal of placing them precisely back in their context by clearing the field of anachronisms, clichés and manipulations. An important objective will also be the discussion of the notion of the Middle Ages itself, so as to make the student aware of the problematic nature of this notion, of the historiographical discussions arisen around the definition of its chronological limits, and of the origin of the "negative" view that continues to accompany the term Middle Ages even today in the common imagination and language.

During the course, students will be provided with basic informations about the main political-institutional events that took place during the Medieval millennium, from the crisis of the 3rd century to the era of the 15th century Italian Signorie. At the same time, certain themes (such as monasticism, the invention of the notion of the Crusade, the invention of the institution of the Commune, etc.) that represent the most widespread elements in the construction of the modern imaginary relating to the Medieval era will be explored in depth. Students will thus be able to reconstruct the chronological timeline of the Medieval millennium, with a particular focus on the Italian, Frankish and Germanic-imperial areas, correctly identifying causal links and lines of continuity.
In this way, students will also be able to correctly decrypt the historical and cultural informations with which they come into contact in the communicative reality, also facing with greater awareness the phenomena of ideological distortion to which the notion of the Middle Ages falls victim in common language, including that of the media.
At the end of the course, students should be able, when confronted with an image or a geo-political map, to construct an explanatory discourse on the reality represented, on the basis of some basic indications.

Obiettivi formativi
