MEDIEVAL HISTORY	First Semester	8	M-STO/01		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. 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.

FLEXIBLE CONTRACTUAL TIPOLOGY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND IN TOURISM	First Semester	8	IUS/07		Learning objectives The aim of the course is to learn the basic notions useful for understanding the rules governing employment relations in both the public and private sectors with a specific focus on tourism. In this perspective, the multiple types of contract existing in our legal system for the constitution of the employment relationship will be examined in depth: from the common form of permanent and full-time subordinate employment to self-employment, through the flexible forms of the relationship. From another point of view, the internal flexibility model will be analysed, given its consequences on all types of contracts which are now involved in the work performance in relation to place, time and working hours. Active and passive labour policy instruments aimed at stimulating labour demand and supply through income support tools for workers will also be explored. In the continuous economic and social evolution, the outsourcing processes that the company decides to undertake are also of particular relevance and, therefore, the course will analyse the legislative institutes and the management of labour relations in these processes with an overview of the ways to terminate the employment relationship. By the end of the course, students will be expected to demonstrate the following: • Knowledge and understanding: a good knowledge of the topics covered during the course and sufficient mastery of the regulatory sources (national and supranational) that govern the subject. • Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: students should be able to rework the topics covered during the course to apply the acquired knowledge to identify possible solutions to the problems arising from the rapid regulatory evolution in labor law. • Judgment autonomy: students should be able to assess practical cases to integrate the acquired knowledge and formulate judgments. • Communication skills: students should be able to clearly present the learned notions and correctly use the technical language of the subject. • Learning ability: students should demonstrate that they have developed learning skills that allow them to continuously update through the study of doctrinal and jurisprudential orientations.

MEDIEVAL HISTORY	First Semester	8	M-STO/01		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. 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.

In this perspective, the multiple types of contract existing in our legal system for the constitution of the employment relationship will be examined in depth: from the common form of permanent and full-time subordinate employment to self-employment, through the flexible forms of the relationship. From another point of view, the internal flexibility model will be analysed, given its consequences on all types of contracts which are now involved in the work performance in relation to place, time and working hours. Active and passive labour policy instruments aimed at stimulating labour demand and supply through income support tools for workers will also be explored. In the continuous economic and social evolution, the outsourcing processes that the company decides to undertake are also of particular relevance and, therefore, the course will analyse the legislative institutes and the management of labour relations in these processes with an overview of the ways to terminate the employment relationship.

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.

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 "parte docente" consists of lessons on German linguistics with Dr. Palilla, the "lettorato" consists of lessons on German language with the lecturer.
The linguistic course proposes techniques and strategies for reading and understanding the text written in German, through the recognition of the main phenomena that characterize the "text" dimension from a linguistic point of view. Particular attention will be given to the study and analysis of phenomena and grammatical structures typical of the German language, also in comparison with the Italian language. The reading of German-language texts belonging to different linguistic varieties and different textual genres will be privileged, with a preference for newspaper articles, biographies of great German-speaking writers and artists, short poetic texts and texts concerning geography, history and culture of German-speaking countries.
The two modules offer the opportunity to acquire and develop the following linguistic and grammatical knowledge and skills: Reading and understanding of the German text, grammatical-textual skills and metalinguistic competence.
In the exam, the student must demonstrate that they can:
- Describe the main variations of the German language, in particular the diachronic and diatopic ones
- Define and describe the concepts of "Text", "Textsorte", "Textnuster" and "Textfunktion"

- Describe Landeskunde topics in German, for example the school system, Bundesrepublik and Bundesländer.
- Analyse short poems typical of the literary tradition of the German language.

Learning objectives

The course's general educational objective is to provide students with a first cultural approach to the historical reality of Portugal, the area in which the Portuguese language developed - a language today spoken by approximately 260 million people throughout the world (3.7% of the world’s population).
The PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION I course is divided into a part on the history of the language (Latin in the Iberian Peninsula; Galego-Portuguese; ancient Portuguese; modern and contemporary European Portuguese) and then moves on to basic translation topics, in conjunction with the language lessons provided by the linguistic expert.
At the end of the course, the student’s independent judgment skills, the knowledge acquired and the communication and expression skills will be valued.

Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to learn the basic notions useful for understanding the rules governing employment relations in both the public and private sectors with a specific focus on tourism. In this perspective, the multiple types of contract existing in our legal system for the constitution of the employment relationship will be examined in depth: from the common form of permanent and full-time subordinate employment to self-employment, through the flexible forms of the relationship. From another point of view, the internal flexibility model will be analysed, given its consequences on all types of contracts which are now involved in the work performance in relation to place, time and working hours.
Active and passive labour policy instruments aimed at stimulating labour demand and supply through income support tools for workers will also be explored.
In the continuous economic and social evolution, the outsourcing processes that the company decides to undertake are also of particular relevance and, therefore, the course will analyse the legislative institutes and the management of labour relations in these processes with an overview of the ways to terminate the employment relationship.
By the end of the course, students will be expected to demonstrate the following:
• Knowledge and understanding: a good knowledge of the topics covered during the course and sufficient mastery of the regulatory sources (national and supranational) that govern the subject.
• Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: students should be able to rework the topics covered during the course to apply the acquired knowledge to identify possible solutions to the problems arising from the rapid regulatory evolution in labor law.
• Judgment autonomy: students should be able to assess practical cases to integrate the acquired knowledge and formulate judgments.
• Communication skills: students should be able to clearly present the learned notions and correctly use the technical language of the subject.
• Learning ability: students should demonstrate that they have developed learning skills that allow them to continuously update through the study of doctrinal and jurisprudential orientations.
