17389 - LINGUISTICS	Second Semester	8	GLOT-01/A		Learning objectives General Linguistics is not taught in the school and therefore it aims at providing the learner with the methodological and operational skills to analyze the linguistic behavior of speakers of a language (this behavior is attested in written or oral data), and to predict that part of the their linguistic behavior which is not yet attested in available data: in short, general linguistics teaches how to construct what is traditionally called "GRAMMAR" of a language. The scientific grammar of a language can be represented as a set of predictions, i.e., rules which - if correctly formulated - allow the construction of expressions (sentences, oral or written texts) deemed "acceptable" by the speakers of that language. These predictive rules generally refer to the grammatical components called phonetics-phonology, lexicon, morphology, syntax and pragmatic. Each of these components requires learning specific operational analysis techniques. Therefore, normative grammar will not be taught, writing/speaking in Italian or other languages will not be taught, Italian or other language spelling will not be taught, but students will be taught to observe the behavior of speakers (regardless of whether it is respectful or not of normative grammar), to build a linguistic database and to use it to construct a grammar, in a scientific, non-normative sense. In addition to the Italian language, the linguistic data will also be extracted from other European and non-European languages, depending on the skills of the learners. Likewise, data from fictitious languages will be used, on which to practice extracting the grammatical rules, without the need - for obvious reasons - for the learner to have a previous knowledge of the language in question. In summary: The objectives of the lecture are: knowledge of methods of phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax, the ability to transcribe phonetically and analyze phonologically, morphologically and syntactically a sentence in Italian and in a language of the student's choice. 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 extract linguistic data from a sample of speakers 2) Applied knowledge and understanding: ability to produce a minimum scientific grammar from a set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers 3) Making judgments: ability to compare and evaluate comparatively different grammars 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.

HISTORY AND CULTURES OF PHOTOGRAPHY	Second Semester	8	PEMM-01/B		Learning objectives The course will present the essential lines of the international history of photography, from its first experiments (1820s-1830s) to its most current expressions, in the perspective of cultural studies, with reference to the numerous interrelations with other visual languages and with the various fields of knowledge. The main objective will be to make students fully aware of the technical-linguistic evolution of the medium, of the different forms and types of production, of the ways in which images are used and disseminated, of the various functions and uses of the different objects to which photographic practice has given rise over time. To this end, students will be offered the basic information and the main historiographical tools for a critical knowledge of the general history of photography and for an orientation in the research, identification and interpretation of the images that the various photographic expressions and cultures have produced in the western world. The course also provides a general orientation for the identification of the characteristics and peculiarities of the different photographic materials, and their contexts of origin, in order to prepare students for a correct evaluation and an autonomous interpretation of single works, or more complex collections, on the basis of the identification of their historical and expressive values and of their aspects of originality and authenticity. The lessons will focus mainly on the following topics: the history of photography, from the experimental steps of its origins to the era of digital photography, in its relations with science, art and society: technical-linguistic evolution, forms and practices of production, ways of representation; genres and functions of images in the various contexts; venues, supports, formats and methods of presentation, publication and exhibition of images. Lastly, some particular and specific aspects of the history and culture of photography in Italy will be explored, including the processes of institutionalisation and patrimonialisation of photographic assets in both the public and private spheres. 1) Knowledge and understanding: in the course of the lessons, the various topics will be addressed in such a way as to stimulate in the students a curiosity and critical interest in the history of photography as a key element of modern culture, as a means of expression and communication that has profoundly marked and conditioned the knowledge, aspirations, judgement and imagination of modern society itself. Through the analysis of the technical-linguistic evolution of the medium, of the different languages used by professionals, amateurs and photographers artists (in relation to the various technologies available over time and to the different historical-economic and social contexts in which they have operated), of the multiple functions performed by the medium and of its relations with other media, an attempt will be made to provide students with the essential tools for a basic understanding of the historical development of the photographic representation of the world, as well as for the knowledge of the main historical and artistic events, cultural phenomena, thought and aesthetic theories that were at its origin. 2) Applying knowledge and understanding: through debate and discussion in the classroom, individual study, the reading (of their choice) of some of the proposed in-depth texts and the possible analysis or research work (also carried out in groups) on individual photographers or on particularly significant moments-movements in the history of photography, students will be able to develop autonomous interests and possible research projects. 3) Making judgements: students will have to be able to analyse and synthesise texts, images and documents, making use of the analyses of historians and critics who are experts on the various topics (through the texts adopted for the course, the recommended bibliography or other contributions identified by the students themselves); they will also have to be able to formulate their own judgement and express their own ideas on what they have acquired following the study, comparisons and critical in-depth studies. 4) Communication skills: students should be able to explain, using the specific terminology of the history of photography, the results of the critical readings recommended and agreed at the beginning of the course, possibly supplemented by personal research, also on the web. 5) Learning skills: students must be able to analyse and understand photographic works by placing them correctly in their historical and cultural contexts. In the course of lectures and seminar meetings, personal interlocutions and reflections will be solicited. In the learning process, it will be essential to respect group work and the relative deadlines set for the optimal coordination of the programme and the suggested in-depth studies.

LINGUISTICS	Second Semester	8	GLOT-01/A		Learning objectives General Linguistics is not taught in the school and therefore it aims at providing the learner with the methodological and operational skills to analyze the linguistic behavior of speakers of a language (this behavior is attested in written or oral data), and to predict that part of the their linguistic behavior which is not yet attested in available data: in short, general linguistics teaches how to construct what is traditionally called "GRAMMAR" of a language. The scientific grammar of a language can be represented as a set of predictions, i.e., rules which - if correctly formulated - allow the construction of expressions (sentences, oral or written texts) deemed "acceptable" by the speakers of that language. These predictive rules generally refer to the grammatical components called phonetics-phonology, lexicon, morphology, syntax and pragmatic. Each of these components requires learning specific operational analysis techniques. Therefore, normative grammar will not be taught, writing/speaking in Italian or other languages will not be taught, Italian or other language spelling will not be taught, but students will be taught to observe the behavior of speakers (regardless of whether it is respectful or not of normative grammar), to build a linguistic database and to use it to construct a grammar, in a scientific, non-normative sense. In addition to the Italian language, the linguistic data will also be extracted from other European and non-European languages, depending on the skills of the learners. Likewise, data from fictitious languages will be used, on which to practice extracting the grammatical rules, without the need - for obvious reasons - for the learner to have a previous knowledge of the language in question. In summary: The objectives of the lecture are: knowledge of methods of phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax, the ability to transcribe phonetically and analyze phonologically, morphologically and syntactically a sentence in Italian and in a language of the student's choice. 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 extract linguistic data from a sample of speakers 2) Applied knowledge and understanding: ability to produce a minimum scientific grammar from a set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers 3) Making judgments: ability to compare and evaluate comparatively different grammars 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.
SEMIOTICS	Second Semester	8	PHIL-04/B		Learning objectives The course introduces students to the study of communication within a semiological framework by addressing questions such as: What does it mean for human beings to communicate? What are the fundamental modes of communication? How is persuasion exercised through signs, texts, narratives, and discursive practices? The course also aims to provide students with the conceptual and methodological tools required to identify, describe, and critically analyse some of the main pathologies of contemporary public discourse, distinguishing between their manifestations at the level of content (information disorder, hate speech, and stereotypes), interaction (aggression, silencing, and manipulation) and the communicative ecosystem (algorithmic selection, profiling, and virality). 1) Knowledge and Understanding The course aims to provide students with a basic knowledge of the main concepts, problems, and analytical tools of semiotics, with particular attention to the processes through which meaning is produced, interpreted, and circulated. Students will acquire an understanding of verbal, non-verbal, and multimodal forms of communication, persuasive strategies, and the main pathologies of public discourse. 2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding Students will be expected to use the concepts and terminology of semiotics to describe the general mechanisms underlying the functioning of languages and sign systems and to analyse concrete communicative phenomena. They will also be able to identify persuasive strategies and forms of manipulation, aggression, and silencing, as well as to assess the role played by media and algorithmic environments in the production and circulation of discourse. 3) Intended Learning Outcomes By the end of the course, students will be able to: - demonstrate knowledge of the main modes and structures of human communication; - identify and analyse processes of meaning construction, interpretation, and management; - apply semiotic tools to the analysis of texts, images, narratives, and communicative interactions; - critically identify phenomena of information disorder, stereotyping, hate speech, manipulation, and polarisation; - present and discuss the knowledge acquired using appropriate disciplinary terminology; - develop independent judgement and learning skills through practical exercises, discussions, and case-study analysis.

media usage practices.

Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the primary methodology to deal with the analysis of different types of sources, both written and archaeological, related to the study of Roman history.
Taking into account the guidelines outlined by the 'Dublin Descriptors', the objectives are as follows:
1) Knowledge and understanding: knowledge of the historical data, methodologies and documents proposed; acquisition of a basic scientific vocabulary.
2) Applying knowledge and understanding: to be able to read and discuss a historical source by inserting it within its context; to be able to use the fundamental bibliographical to
3) Making judgements:to be able to identify causal links and interpret a historical phenomenon critically; to be aware of the complexity and "relativity" of historical phenomena.
4) Communication skills: to be able to present the acquired knowledge in a correct, orderly and consequential way.
5) Learning skills: to be able to use the knowledge and skills acquired and the specific language learned in view of a continuation of their learning path or the development of non-specialized professional activities.

Learning objectives

Module 1. The module aims to offer a synthesis of medieval geopolitical evolution, with a focus on the Mediterranean area and continental Europe. Its overall aim is to provide the historical tools for a more conscious reading of the current map of Europe.

Module 2. The module 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.

Learning objectives

The main formative goals of the course in academic year 2023-24 are: Knowledge of fundamental moments in the history of the Italian language from its origins to the present day. Knowledge of the main evolutionary phenomena of the passage from popular Latin to Italian: phonology, morphology, syntax elements. In-depth knowledge of the history of language and linguistic thought in the 17th century.
At the end of the course the student will know the essential elements, in a historical key, of the phonetic and morphological structure of Italian , will know how to orient himself in the linguistic history of post-unification Italy, and will have specific skills on the linguistic debate of the seventeenth century in Italy; will be able to consult critically the main lexicographic tools of Italian in print and online and will have knowledge related to Italian grammars.

Learning objectives

General Linguistics is not taught in the school and therefore it aims at providing the learner with the methodological and operational skills to analyze the linguistic behavior of speakers of a language (this behavior is attested in written or oral data), and to predict that part of the their linguistic behavior which is not yet attested in available data: in short, general linguistics teaches how to construct what is traditionally called "GRAMMAR" of a language. The scientific grammar of a language can be represented as a set of predictions, i.e., rules which - if correctly formulated - allow the construction of expressions (sentences, oral or written texts) deemed "acceptable" by the speakers of that language. These predictive rules generally refer to the grammatical components called phonetics-phonology, lexicon, morphology, syntax and pragmatic. Each of these components requires learning specific operational analysis techniques. Therefore, normative grammar will not be taught, writing/speaking in Italian or other languages will not be taught, Italian or other language spelling will not be taught, but students will be taught to observe the behavior of speakers (regardless of whether it is respectful or not of normative grammar), to build a linguistic database and to use it to construct a grammar, in a scientific, non-normative sense. In addition to the Italian language, the linguistic data will also be extracted from other European and non-European languages, depending on the skills of the learners. Likewise, data from fictitious languages will be used, on which to practice extracting the grammatical rules, without the need - for obvious reasons - for the learner to have a previous knowledge of the language in question. In summary: The objectives of the lecture are: knowledge of methods of phonetics, phonology, morphology and syntax, the ability to transcribe phonetically and analyze phonologically, morphologically and syntactically a sentence in Italian and in a language of the student's choice.
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 extract linguistic data from a sample of speakers
2) Applied knowledge and understanding: ability to produce a minimum scientific grammar from a set of linguistic data produced by a sample of speakers
3) Making judgments: ability to compare and evaluate comparatively different grammars 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

The course introduces students to the study of communication within a semiological framework by addressing questions such as: What does it mean for human beings to communicate? What are the fundamental modes of communication? How is persuasion exercised through signs, texts, narratives, and discursive practices? The course also aims to provide students with the conceptual and methodological tools required to identify, describe, and critically analyse some of the main pathologies of contemporary public discourse, distinguishing between their manifestations at the level of content (information disorder, hate speech, and stereotypes), interaction (aggression, silencing, and manipulation) and the communicative ecosystem (algorithmic selection, profiling, and virality).

1) Knowledge and Understanding
The course aims to provide students with a basic knowledge of the main concepts, problems, and analytical tools of semiotics, with particular attention to the processes through which meaning is produced, interpreted, and circulated. Students will acquire an understanding of verbal, non-verbal, and multimodal forms of communication, persuasive strategies, and the main pathologies of public discourse.

2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding
Students will be expected to use the concepts and terminology of semiotics to describe the general mechanisms underlying the functioning of languages and sign systems and to analyse concrete communicative phenomena. They will also be able to identify persuasive strategies and forms of manipulation, aggression, and silencing, as well as to assess the role played by media and algorithmic environments in the production and circulation of discourse.

3) Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- demonstrate knowledge of the main modes and structures of human communication;
- identify and analyse processes of meaning construction, interpretation, and management;
- apply semiotic tools to the analysis of texts, images, narratives, and communicative interactions;
- critically identify phenomena of information disorder, stereotyping, hate speech, manipulation, and polarisation;
- present and discuss the knowledge acquired using appropriate disciplinary terminology;
- develop independent judgement and learning skills through practical exercises, discussions, and case-study analysis.

Learning objectives

The course will present the essential lines of the international history of photography, from its first experiments (1820s-1830s) to its most current expressions, in the perspective of cultural studies, with reference to the numerous interrelations with other visual languages and with the various fields of knowledge. The main objective will be to make students fully aware of the technical-linguistic evolution of the medium, of the different forms and types of production, of the ways in which images are used and disseminated, of the various functions and uses of the different objects to which photographic practice has given rise over time. To this end, students will be offered the basic information and the main historiographical tools for a critical knowledge of the general history of photography and for an orientation in the research, identification and interpretation of the images that the various photographic expressions and cultures have produced in the western world.
The course also provides a general orientation for the identification of the characteristics and peculiarities of the different photographic materials, and their contexts of origin, in order to prepare students for a correct evaluation and an autonomous interpretation of single works, or more complex collections, on the basis of the identification of their historical and expressive values and of their aspects of originality and authenticity.
The lessons will focus mainly on the following topics: the history of photography, from the experimental steps of its origins to the era of digital photography, in its relations with science, art and society: technical-linguistic evolution, forms and practices of production, ways of representation; genres and functions of images in the various contexts; venues, supports, formats and methods of presentation, publication and exhibition of images. Lastly, some particular and specific aspects of the history and culture of photography in Italy will be explored, including the processes of institutionalisation and patrimonialisation of photographic assets in both the public and private spheres.
1) Knowledge and understanding: in the course of the lessons, the various topics will be addressed in such a way as to stimulate in the students a curiosity and critical interest in the history of photography as a key element of modern culture, as a means of expression and communication that has profoundly marked and conditioned the knowledge, aspirations, judgement and imagination of modern society itself. Through the analysis of the technical-linguistic evolution of the medium, of the different languages used by professionals, amateurs and photographers artists (in relation to the various technologies available over time and to the different historical-economic and social contexts in which they have operated), of the multiple functions performed by the medium and of its relations with other media, an attempt will be made to provide students with the essential tools for a basic understanding of the historical development of the photographic representation of the world, as well as for the knowledge of the main historical and artistic events, cultural phenomena, thought and aesthetic theories that were at its origin.
2) Applying knowledge and understanding: through debate and discussion in the classroom, individual study, the reading (of their choice) of some of the proposed in-depth texts and the possible analysis or research work (also carried out in groups) on individual photographers or on particularly significant moments-movements in the history of photography, students will be able to develop autonomous interests and possible research projects.
3) Making judgements: students will have to be able to analyse and synthesise texts, images and documents, making use of the analyses of historians and critics who are experts on the various topics (through the texts adopted for the course, the recommended bibliography or other contributions identified by the students themselves); they will also have to be able to formulate their own judgement and express their own ideas on what they have acquired following the study, comparisons and critical in-depth studies.
4) Communication skills: students should be able to explain, using the specific terminology of the history of photography, the results of the critical readings recommended and agreed at the beginning of the course, possibly supplemented by personal research, also on the web.
5) Learning skills: students must be able to analyse and understand photographic works by placing them correctly in their historical and cultural contexts. In the course of lectures and seminar meetings, personal interlocutions and reflections will be solicited. In the learning process, it will be essential to respect group work and the relative deadlines set for the optimal coordination of the programme and the suggested in-depth studies.

Learning objectives

The course aims to provide an accurate overview of medieval art from the Late Antiquity to the Fourteenth century (4th-14th centuries), especially in the Italian peninsula, but with an open gaze to the entire European continent.
The medieval artwork will be analyzed in its technical-material, formal, iconographic and iconological components through the specific language of the subject. The relationships between artists, patrons and production centers will be traced, whenever possible.
Particular insights will be reserved for Viterbo, city on the Via Francigena of great importance in the central centuries of the Middle Ages.

1. Knowledge and understanding: students will have to master the subject and recognize both the artworks commented during the lessons and those studied in the reference texts.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding: classroom discussion, observation exercises guided by the teacher, research activities carried out in possible study groups, educational visits and seminars will contribute to the development of an active and personal understand of the subject.
3. Making judgments: students will have to acquire a certain capacity for critical judgment with respect to the reference texts, but also with respect to what the teacher proposes during her lessons, in relation to the debate on the studies.
4. Communication skills: students will have to acquire the specific language of the material and they will have to know how to use it in the best possible way to describe and contextualize both a medieval artwork in particular and an artistic phenomenon in general.
5. Learning skills: students will have to contextualize a medieval artwork in time and space, in relation to the cultural, social, political, ideological and material transformations that have determined/influenced a certain artistic phenomenon.
