The objectives of the course are to provide students with the knowledge of the institutions of administrative transparency, both through learning the relevant rules, and through the knowledge of the most relevant administrative acts that contribute to the regulation of the subject, and, finally, through the study of the most important jurisprudential cases on the subject.
In this way, the course intends to develop students' ability to solve concrete problems, through the analysis of case law and normative materials; promote the students' autonomy of judgment, through discussion, in the presence of the teacher, of the main theoretical and implementation problems posed by the institutions of administrative transparency; develop students' communication skills by consulting the "Amministrazione Trasparente" section of public administration sites.
After a long wait, with Legislative Decree No. 97 of 25 May 2016, Italy has joined the many legal systems - there are over a hundred - that have equipped themselves with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), i.e. legislation that allows anyone to access non-confidential information held by public administrations. This legislation is important, because it transforms the knowability of that information from an exception into a rule, realises the principle of “total accessibility” previously only enunciated, and assigns public administrations a new task: to provide citizens with a real information service.
Nevertheless, the new rules on generalised civic access have been criticised for various reasons, from the excessive extension of exceptions to the overlap with the pre-existing forms of access, which survive, to the fragmentation of competences concerning the implementation phase. Comparison with other FOIA systems makes it possible to assess the consistency of these criticisms, to promote an informed scientific debate, and to identify solutions for a better implementation of this legislation.

The module 1 examines the most fruitful and evocative directions in the history of politics: the theoretical models, practices and languages through which the relationship between political power and citizenship, civil customs and cultural consumption has changed.
Two seminar paths follow a theoretical and explanatory part of moments and passages of the present time.
Languages and communication in the Presidents of the Republic. Comparative paths are outlined between the European republican models (France, Germany, Italy) and the Americans (United States and Chile). Issues such as: relations between the head of state, citizens and public opinion are discussed; the speeches and the presidential style, the internal and foreign travels, the influence in shaping the image of the country.
The imaginary, languages and civil rituals in the representations of the Republic. The history of republican narratives in the postwar period are investigated through both linguistic-cultural and symbolic-ritual aspects, correlating political-institutional communication with the evolution of social and cultural mentalities.

Learning objectives
The course introduces the mechanisms of human communication "mediated" by technologies. During the course, communication products, their narrations and media configurations will be examined, analyzing the languages, the genres and the formats with which they manifest themselves.
1) Objectives in terms of "Knowledge and understanding": at the end of the course the students will have learned the fundamental dynamics of communication processes. In particular, they will know the different verbal and non-verbal expressive modes and their uses in communication contexts and, through the analysis of the different types and characteristics of the media, they will understand the variables necessary for the choice of the most functional media for the specific communication needs.
2) Objectives in terms of "Ability to apply knowledge and understanding": at the end of the course, students will be able to understand the technical terminology and the fundamental notions of effective communication and will be able to critically analyze the effectiveness of communication also in contexts of intermedia, cross-media and trans-media processes.
3) At the end of the course, students must have achieved the following results:
- recognize the dynamics of meaning of different media (knowledge and applied understanding skills);
- know the differences and the underlying logics behind the multiplicity of languages, genres and formats (autonomy of judgment and ability to learn);
- knowing how to present the acquired knowledge, using an appropriate language (communication skills);
- develop specific skills to understand, analyze and produce communication for old and new media (knowledge and applied understanding skills).
The course in European Media Languages and Audiovisual Archives is divided into a theoretical part and a short practical exercise integrated with each other. The first part introduces the main languages of audiovisual media, focusing on the transformations brought about by the digital environment and the ways in which content is produced, circulated, and reused. The role of audiovisual archives in the construction of European cultural memory, the types of audiovisual sources and the models of organisation and management are addressed. The course also examines key descriptive standards, meta-dating practices, legal issues related to copyright and access, as well as strategies for preserving and enhancing audiovisual heritage. Specific attention is devoted to European projects and infrastructures for the management and dissemination of audiovisual archives. The application part includes an introductory exercise in the analysis and description of audiovisual materials, with the application of indexing and contextualization criteria. At the end of the activity, the student will draw up a short work of in-depth study on a case study or a type of European audiovisual archive.

120948 - POLITICAL SCIENCE AND PUBLIC POLICY
ENRICO PADOAN
First Semester
7
SPS/04
Learning objectives
The course aims at deepening one of the key concepts in contemporary political science, namely the concept of populism. The course will offer a reasoned review of the main theoretical approaches to the study of populist phenomena, in a historical (20th and 21st centuries) and comparative (Europe and the Americas) perspective, with a particular focus on the Italian case and on aspects of political communication. It will begin with the presentation of the different scientific definitions of the concept of populism, and will then address the relative different theoretical approaches to the concept, causes and consequences of different types of populism, with a special focus on the contributions of political sociology to the understanding of the phenomenon. Students will be asked to focus, also for the purposes of the final assessment, on a specific case of a contemporary European populist party, in order to critically discuss how the theoretical tools presented in the course can concretely help the case study analysis.
In this sense, the training objectives that the course pursues are:
- Knowledge and understanding - including applied knowledge - of the main issues in the political science debate on populism;
- Mastery of the main dimensions of the scientific debate on populism (definitions, causes, consequences, characteristics of populist parties and leaders and communication aspects)
- Autonomy of judgement and critical understanding of populist phenomena, their causes and consequences;
- Communicative skills in expounding issues related to contemporary populism;
- Implementation of learning skills.
The aim of the course is to introduce knowledge of populism studies. After proposing some reflections on the object of study, the course develops a teaching proposal based on four integrated modules:
- Approaches and definitions, in historical and comparative perspective;
- Varieties of populisms: typologies and causes
- Populism and Democracy
- The Italian case: history, organisation and communication of populist parties
Module Reference & Texts
Approaches and definitions, in historical and comparative perspective: Graziano (pp. 7-44); Anselmi (pp. 7-58); Ostiguy
Varieties of populisms: typologies and causes: Graziano (pp. 45-76 and 85-96); Anselmi (pp. 65-77)
Populism and Democracy: Graziano (pp. 97-102); Canovan; Abts & Rummens; Rovira
The Italian case: history, organisation and communication of populist parties: Graziano (pp. 77-84); Anselmi (pp. 59-64);
Prior reading of the relevant materials for each lesson is highly recommended, in order to already handle the analytical tools for an informed participation in the lesson by the students.
examMode
There are two final tests, identical for attending and non-attending students:
Short Written Paper (weight on final grade: 50%). Submission of a short article (max. 1500 words), with limited supporting bibliography. In the article the student will have to select a case of a contemporary European populist party and will have to discuss, on the basis of the theoretical tools developed in the course, its main ideological and communicative characteristics, as well as to frame it within the relevant typologies proposed and in historical perspective.
The paper must be sent to the professor at least seven days before the day of the oral examination.
NB: for students attending the 6 CFUs course, it will be possible to submit a co-authored manuscript (max 3 authors), or a single-authored manuscript in a shortened version (max 1000 words).
Oral examination (weight on final grade: 50%). The oral exam aims to verify the achievement of the training objectives, and in particular: the full comprehension of the concepts covered by the course ("Knowledge and ability to understand the main issues"); to verify the development of learning and communicative skills of the issues covered by the course.
The written paper is mainly intended to measure the ability to critically understand the founding concepts of populism studies, as well as the applicability of the concepts and notions illustrated in the course to contemporary populist phenomena ("Applied knowledge and understanding of the main issues related to Political Science"; "Autonomy of judgement and understanding").
The lecturer is at the disposal of the students in order to suggest and guide them on the choice of case and on how to write the paper.

The course provides students with the analytical, conceptual and methodological tools for analyzing and comprehending political change from the XXth century up till today, with particular reference to changes in the political cultures of complex societies and the efffects of globalization on political processes and on the democratic fibre of the nations. . Through the analysis of political sociology's main authors, theories and concepts students will acquire the necessary knowledge and competence for interpreting -and professionally operating in - complex globalized socio-political systems. The acquired baggage of knowledge and experties will enable students to comprehend the dynamics, power relations, structural and superstructural variables that operate in the political context they will deal and work with in the future.
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- read and summarize scientific texts that analyze the concept of political culture and its multiple fields (leadership styles, political organizations, political communication, political participation, etc.)
- describe the main theoretical concepts and research methodologies attributable to the national and international panorama of studies on political cultures;
- identify the main authors who contributed to the definition of the concept of political culture and its evolution.
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- collocate authors and theories relating to the concept of political culture in a line of temporal evolution;
- summarize the main theoretical-scientific aspects related to the studies on political cultures;
- define its limits and identify the critical issues of the concept of political culture.
3. MAKING JUDGMENTS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- describe in socio-political terms the characteristics of the political system and its complex interactions with the social system.
- identify and use socio-political variables in the evaluation of a complex political and social scenario;
- understand the multiple dimensions that intervene in the relations between the political system and the social system.
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- use the scientific lexicon of political sociology in an advanced way in oral exposure and writing;
- discuss in public concepts, theories and criticisms relating to studies on political cultures;
- work in a group, sharing and exchanging the knowledge acquired in the field of political sociology.
5. LEARNING SKILLS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- find and deepen independently the new scientific orientations and the new contributions offered to the study and analysis of the relationship between the social system and the political system.
- recover and deepen acquired socio-political knowledge during the course of their scientific maturation process and along their professional path.
The course will deal with the deep changes occurring in the political culture of complex societies and the challenges coming from the globalization process. Political parties, ideologies, styles of political communication, political organization and participation are no longer the same as we have known in the classical years of the past century.
We will analize their processes, their causes, modalities and effects in relation to the quality of democracy.
Therefore we will focus on the following topics:
- Political cultures
- Political parties
- Political participation
- Leadership
- Populism
- Globalization
- National identities
- Political communication
examMode
At the end of the course students will have to demonstrate that they have acquired and comprehended the main socio-political concepts and theories analyzed during the lessons, that they can individuate and interpret the contribution of the different authors and the scientific debate on the matter. More specifically students are expected to demonstrate that they understand political change and that they are able to frame it -with autonomous judgement and critical thinking - within the wider process of globalization connecting its effects on the democratic fiber of complex nations.
The final exam will be oral, according to art. 23 of the Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo (the University's Didactics Rule, art.23) and articulated on an average of 4 fundamental questions in order to assess student's: level of knowledge in relation to the contents of the course (superficial, appropriate, precise and complete, complete and thorough), the capability to apply theoretical concepts (errors in the application, average capability, good capability, solid capability), their analysis, synthesis and interdisciplinary connections' skills (sufficient, good, very good); their capabily to express a critical perspective and judgement (sufficient, good, very good), their capability to express themselves (poorly, simply, clearly and correctly, solidly and correctly).
Halfway through the course there will be a written test (votes won't be registered) in order to assess the level of knowledge acquired so far.

120948 - POLITICAL SCIENCE AND PUBLIC POLICY
ENRICO PADOANENRICO PADOAN
First Semester
7
SPS/04
Learning objectives
The course aims at deepening one of the key concepts in contemporary political science, namely the concept of populism. The course will offer a reasoned review of the main theoretical approaches to the study of populist phenomena, in a historical (20th and 21st centuries) and comparative (Europe and the Americas) perspective, with a particular focus on the Italian case and on aspects of political communication. It will begin with the presentation of the different scientific definitions of the concept of populism, and will then address the relative different theoretical approaches to the concept, causes and consequences of different types of populism, with a special focus on the contributions of political sociology to the understanding of the phenomenon. Students will be asked to focus, also for the purposes of the final assessment, on a specific case of a contemporary European populist party, in order to critically discuss how the theoretical tools presented in the course can concretely help the case study analysis.
In this sense, the training objectives that the course pursues are:
- Knowledge and understanding - including applied knowledge - of the main issues in the political science debate on populism;
- Mastery of the main dimensions of the scientific debate on populism (definitions, causes, consequences, characteristics of populist parties and leaders and communication aspects)
- Autonomy of judgement and critical understanding of populist phenomena, their causes and consequences;
- Communicative skills in expounding issues related to contemporary populism;
- Implementation of learning skills.
The aim of the course is to introduce knowledge of populism studies. After proposing some reflections on the object of study, the course develops a teaching proposal based on four integrated modules:
- Approaches and definitions, in historical and comparative perspective;
- Varieties of populisms: typologies and causes
- Populism and Democracy
- The Italian case: history, organisation and communication of populist parties
Module Reference & Texts
Approaches and definitions, in historical and comparative perspective: Graziano (pp. 7-44); Anselmi (pp. 7-58); Ostiguy
Varieties of populisms: typologies and causes: Graziano (pp. 45-76 and 85-96); Anselmi (pp. 65-77)

Prior reading of the relevant materials for each lesson is highly recommended, in order to already handle the analytical tools for an informed participation in the lesson by the students.
examMode
There are two final tests, identical for attending and non-attending students:
Short Written Paper (weight on final grade: 50%). Submission of a short article (max. 1500 words), with limited supporting bibliography. In the article the student will have to select a case of a contemporary European populist party and will have to discuss, on the basis of the theoretical tools developed in the course, its main ideological and communicative characteristics, as well as to frame it within the relevant typologies proposed and in historical perspective.
The paper must be sent to the professor at least seven days before the day of the oral examination.
NB: for students attending the 6 CFUs course, it will be possible to submit a co-authored manuscript (max 3 authors), or a single-authored manuscript in a shortened version (max 1000 words).
Oral examination (weight on final grade: 50%). The oral exam aims to verify the achievement of the training objectives, and in particular: the full comprehension of the concepts covered by the course ("Knowledge and ability to understand the main issues"); to verify the development of learning and communicative skills of the issues covered by the course.
The written paper is mainly intended to measure the ability to critically understand the founding concepts of populism studies, as well as the applicability of the concepts and notions illustrated in the course to contemporary populist phenomena ("Applied knowledge and understanding of the main issues related to Political Science"; "Autonomy of judgement and understanding").
The lecturer is at the disposal of the students in order to suggest and guide them on the choice of case and on how to write the paper.

Learning objectives
The course is aimed at enabling the acquisition of the "institutions" - therefore of the basic notions - of substantive and procedural criminal law, for the purpose of a high professional qualification, oriented to consultancy in investigative, public and private matters.
The course - during which the constitutional principles on which the legal system and its main fundamental and functional profiles will be studied, as well as the interactions and reciprocal relationships between the substantive and procedural legislation - is divided into a cycle of lessons - in the course of which the various substantive and procedural institutes will also be analyzed with reference to jurisprudential cases, with the aid of documents and judicial documents.
In the past, the execution of punishments – especially the most brutal ones – was a public event: the
“spectacle of punishment” was an essential element of the function of the penalty. Today, however,
the execution phase takes place in private, behind prison walls. While it is a fact that, in democratic
systems, punishments must be carried out with respect for human dignity, understanding how the
State exercises its power and fulfills its duties toward prisoners is essential in order to assess the
soundness of the criminal justice system and, ultimately, the degree of a nation’s civilization.
Indeed, nowhere more than in prison does the balance between repressive needs and individual
rights become so tangible.
The course therefore aims to explore how this balance is conceived in the Italian Constitution and in
the main supranational sources, and to examine how it is concretely implemented in primary and
secondary legislation, as well as in practice. Particular attention will be devoted to the so-called
elements of treatment, and especially to the exercise by prisoners of those rights that detention
should not deny – such as the rights to education, affection, and work.
Some fundamental decisions of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights
(ECtHR) will be analyzed in detail during practical sessions that involve active student
participation.
Through these in-depth studies – intended to promote an understanding of the essential elements of
penitentiary law – students will be able to demonstrate their ability to apply the acquired knowledge
independently and with a critical approach.
1. Knowledge and understanding
By the end of the course, students will have acquired a systematic understanding of the
constitutional and supranational principles governing the execution of criminal sanctions, with
particular focus on the balance between repressive needs and the protection of prisoners’
fundamental rights. They will understand the historical and legal evolution of the purpose of
punishment and the role of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights in
ensuring respect for human dignity and the rehabilitative aim of punishment.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding
Students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired to the critical analysis of concrete
cases and judicial decisions, both national and European, concerning prison law. Through exercises,
simulations, and seminars, they will be able to identify and interpret legal rules governing prison
treatment, understanding their impact on prisoners’ daily lives and on the criminal justice system as
a whole.
3. Making judgements
The course aims to develop students’ ability to make independent and critical assessments of the
functioning of the penitentiary system and of the effectiveness of prisoners’ rights protection.
Students will be encouraged to reflect on the relationship between security and human dignity, to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current system, and to formulate interpretative and
reform-oriented proposals consistent with constitutional and international principles.
4. Communication skills
Through oral presentations, case discussions, and flipped-classroom activities, students will develop
the ability to communicate clearly, coherently, and persuasively on complex legal issues related to
prison law. They will be able to present and defend their analyses before peers, instructors, and
professionals, using appropriate technical language and demonstrating awareness of institutional
contexts.
5. Learning skills
The course will provide methodological tools for the independent study of legal, regulatory, and
judicial sources in prison law. Students will learn to use academic literature, case law, and
documentary sources to explore specific topics, developing skills essential for continuous learning
and legal research. Supplementary activities – prison visits, seminars with practitioners, and
multimedia materials – will enhance learning abilities.
1. “Aiming at the re-education of the convicted person.” Why and how to punish: prison and the functions of punishment. The role of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).
2. “Punishments may not consist of treatment contrary to the sense of humanity.” Observation and treatment: basic rules of prison life and health protection.
3. “The full development of the human person” in prison: the elements of treatment.
4. “The Republic recognizes the right of all citizens to work and promotes the conditions that make this right effective.” Prison labor and the progressive treatment system (temporary leaves and licenses).
5. Not only prison: an overview of alternative measures to detention.
6. Reflections on order and security: the penitentiary organization, the “hard prison regime” (carcere duro), and life imprisonment without parole (ergastolo ostativo).
7. Practical exercises (in the form of a flipped classroom) on decisions of the Constitutional Court and the ECtHR.
8. Final exam for attending students.
The main legal texts that will be most frequently considered are the Penitentiary Law (Law of 26 July 1975, No. 354) and the Implementing Regulation of the Penitentiary Law (Presidential Decree of 30 June 2000, No. 230).
Given the essential role that the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights have played over the years in advancing prisoners’ rights, aimed at their reintegration into society, some fundamental judgments will be examined together with students (for example, on intimate relationships within prison and prison overcrowding).
A visit to a penitentiary institution and seminars with professionals working in detention facilities will also be organized.

CRIMINAL POLICY MODELS AND MOVEMENTS IN A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE
CARLO SOTIS
First Semester
4
IUS/17
Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding: study and analysis of the theoretical framework of criminal policy models centered around the two pairs — crime and deviance, and State and society.
Applied knowledge and understanding: analysis of movements and experiences, and the ability to apply acquired concepts to interpret them.
Independent judgment: ability to formulate critical reflections on study materials and to think independently about the issues discussed in class.
Communication skills: ability to communicate clearly, effectively, and with appropriate language.
Learning skills: fostering the ability to use the knowledge acquired during the course and the method applied to the analysis of criminal policy experiences and movements.
The course primarily focuses on models of criminal policy analyzed from a structural perspective, that is, by observing the constants and variations from which six fundamental models emerge (authoritarian, liberal, self-governing, medical, totalitarian, and communitarian).
Using this framework, various movements in criminal policy will be examined from a dynamic standpoint—for instance, those concerning ethically controversial issues, internal and international security, psychiatric treatment, the management of political opposition, and assaults on sexual freedom or personal integrity.

SPS/11
Learning objectives
The course provides students with the analytical, conceptual and methodological tools for analyzing and comprehending political change from the XXth century up till today, with particular reference to changes in the political cultures of complex societies and the efffects of globalization on political processes and on the democratic fibre of the nations. . Through the analysis of political sociology's main authors, theories and concepts students will acquire the necessary knowledge and competence for interpreting -and professionally operating in - complex globalized socio-political systems. The acquired baggage of knowledge and experties will enable students to comprehend the dynamics, power relations, structural and superstructural variables that operate in the political context they will deal and work with in the future.
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- read and summarize scientific texts that analyze the concept of political culture and its multiple fields (leadership styles, political organizations, political communication, political participation, etc.)
- describe the main theoretical concepts and research methodologies attributable to the national and international panorama of studies on political cultures;
- identify the main authors who contributed to the definition of the concept of political culture and its evolution.
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- collocate authors and theories relating to the concept of political culture in a line of temporal evolution;
- summarize the main theoretical-scientific aspects related to the studies on political cultures;
- define its limits and identify the critical issues of the concept of political culture.
3. MAKING JUDGMENTS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- describe in socio-political terms the characteristics of the political system and its complex interactions with the social system.
- identify and use socio-political variables in the evaluation of a complex political and social scenario;
- understand the multiple dimensions that intervene in the relations between the political system and the social system.
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- use the scientific lexicon of political sociology in an advanced way in oral exposure and writing;
- discuss in public concepts, theories and criticisms relating to studies on political cultures;
- work in a group, sharing and exchanging the knowledge acquired in the field of political sociology.
5. LEARNING SKILLS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- find and deepen independently the new scientific orientations and the new contributions offered to the study and analysis of the relationship between the social system and the political system.
- recover and deepen acquired socio-political knowledge during the course of their scientific maturation process and along their professional path.
The course will deal with the deep changes occurring in the political culture of complex societies and the challenges coming from the globalization process. Political parties, ideologies, styles of political communication, political organization and participation are no longer the same as we have known in the classical years of the past century.
We will analize their processes, their causes, modalities and effects in relation to the quality of democracy.
Therefore we will focus on the following topics:
- Political cultures
- Political parties
- Political participation
- Leadership
- Populism
- Globalization
- National identities
- Political communication
examMode
At the end of the course students will have to demonstrate that they have acquired and comprehended the main socio-political concepts and theories analyzed during the lessons, that they can individuate and interpret the contribution of the different authors and the scientific debate on the matter. More specifically students are expected to demonstrate that they understand political change and that they are able to frame it -with autonomous judgement and critical thinking - within the wider process of globalization connecting its effects on the democratic fiber of complex nations.
The final exam will be oral, according to art. 23 of the Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo (the University's Didactics Rule, art.23) and articulated on an average of 4 fundamental questions in order to assess student's: level of knowledge in relation to the contents of the course (superficial, appropriate, precise and complete, complete and thorough), the capability to apply theoretical concepts (errors in the application, average capability, good capability, solid capability), their analysis, synthesis and interdisciplinary connections' skills (sufficient, good, very good); their capabily to express a critical perspective and judgement (sufficient, good, very good), their capability to express themselves (poorly, simply, clearly and correctly, solidly and correctly).
Halfway through the course there will be a written test (votes won't be registered) in order to assess the level of knowledge acquired so far.

Criminal phenomenology and investigation
Course Objectives
The course of criminal phenomenology and investigation, in the field of investigation, homeland and
international security, is supposed to give to the students the right knowledge regarding tactical operations
and legal actions, necessary to to undertake a training course suitable for achieving important job
opportunities. The knowledge of the main criminal phenomenologies and of the related contractual action,
together with the methodological-operational knowledge aimed at the organization and management of
the most modern investigative and security strategies can certainly allow the student to acquire a specific
preparation which he will be able to deepen in order to subsequently enter private companies or
organizations that operate in the fields of investigations and security. Furthermore, the study of this course
will allow participation in specific 2nd level masters (Criminal Sciences, Forensic Sciences, etc...), as well as
in public competitions for accessing Police and Prefectural roles.
The ultimate goal is therefore to give students that basic knowledge suitable for understanding, analyzing
and communicating problems related to security: legal-criminological and technical-investigative
knowledge that will allow them to acquire specific professional skills in the field of security, with the
eventual possibility, of supporting the judicial and public safety authorities in carrying out activities such as
prevention, crime repression and protection of public order and safety.
The teaching program concerns the analysis of the various forms of crime, in particular organized crime, as well as an accurate illustration of the national security system with reference to the strategies, both preventive and repressive, aimed at guaranteeing order and public safety and to combat the criminal phenomena. In particular, we will focus on the study of national and foreign mafia-type criminal associations, with reference to their organization, modus operandi and illegal practices. In this context, we will further analyze illegal immigration and human trafficking, eco-mafia and zoomafia will be taken into consideration as well, there will also be an in-depth analysis of those whom decide to collaborate with justice to have their penal sentence reduced. Furthermore, as part of the teaching, issues relating to the main forms of crime against the person will be addressed, from stalking to ill-treatment of family members and/or cohabitants. All forms of violence will be analyzed: sexual, psychological, economic, with specific reference to some of the best known cases of Femicide or feminicide which is a hate crime which is broadly defined as "the intentional killing of women”. Both the psychological and legal aspects will be taken into consideration regarding crimes and its perpetrators both (adults and minors) with particular regard to vulnerable victims. The alarming phenomena of baby gangs and cyberbullying will also be analyzed .
The time available (48 hours) will be dedicated mainly to lessons, both face-to-face and remotely, providing for an adequate number of hours (36) to carry out the various modules, while 12 hours will be reserved for complementary teaching activities (exercises and possible insights and conversations with experts).
examMode
Oral exam
The objective of the oral exam is to verify whether the student has acquired the fundamental knowledge of each topic together with the ability to make connections with different topics, analyzing them and correlating them to each other. It is important that the student explains with masterful technical-legal language and terminology suitable for each required phenomenon, focusing on the related critical issues, examined during the lessons. Any additional personal considerations will be much appreciated.
The final grade will keep in consideration these before mentioned characteristics, that if not present or insufficient will determine a failure in the class.

GILDA NICOLAIGILDA NICOLAI
First Semester
8
M-STO/08
Learning objectives
The course introduces the mechanisms of human communication "mediated" by technologies. During the course, communication products, their narrations and media configurations will be examined, analyzing the languages, the genres and the formats with which they manifest themselves.
1) Objectives in terms of "Knowledge and understanding": at the end of the course the students will have learned the fundamental dynamics of communication processes. In particular, they will know the different verbal and non-verbal expressive modes and their uses in communication contexts and, through the analysis of the different types and characteristics of the media, they will understand the variables necessary for the choice of the most functional media for the specific communication needs.
2) Objectives in terms of "Ability to apply knowledge and understanding": at the end of the course, students will be able to understand the technical terminology and the fundamental notions of effective communication and will be able to critically analyze the effectiveness of communication also in contexts of intermedia, cross-media and trans-media processes.
3) At the end of the course, students must have achieved the following results:
- recognize the dynamics of meaning of different media (knowledge and applied understanding skills);
- know the differences and the underlying logics behind the multiplicity of languages, genres and formats (autonomy of judgment and ability to learn);
- knowing how to present the acquired knowledge, using an appropriate language (communication skills);
- develop specific skills to understand, analyze and produce communication for old and new media (knowledge and applied understanding skills).
The course in European Media Languages and Audiovisual Archives is divided into a theoretical part and a short practical exercise integrated with each other. The first part introduces the main languages of audiovisual media, focusing on the transformations brought about by the digital environment and the ways in which content is produced, circulated, and reused. The role of audiovisual archives in the construction of European cultural memory, the types of audiovisual sources and the models of organisation and management are addressed. The course also examines key descriptive standards, meta-dating practices, legal issues related to copyright and access, as well as strategies for preserving and enhancing audiovisual heritage. Specific attention is devoted to European projects and infrastructures for the management and dissemination of audiovisual archives. The application part includes an introductory exercise in the analysis and description of audiovisual materials, with the application of indexing and contextualization criteria. At the end of the activity, the student will draw up a short work of in-depth study on a case study or a type of European audiovisual archive.

120948 - POLITICAL SCIENCE AND PUBLIC POLICY
ENRICO PADOANENRICO PADOAN
First Semester
7
SPS/04
Learning objectives
The course aims at deepening one of the key concepts in contemporary political science, namely the concept of populism. The course will offer a reasoned review of the main theoretical approaches to the study of populist phenomena, in a historical (20th and 21st centuries) and comparative (Europe and the Americas) perspective, with a particular focus on the Italian case and on aspects of political communication. It will begin with the presentation of the different scientific definitions of the concept of populism, and will then address the relative different theoretical approaches to the concept, causes and consequences of different types of populism, with a special focus on the contributions of political sociology to the understanding of the phenomenon. Students will be asked to focus, also for the purposes of the final assessment, on a specific case of a contemporary European populist party, in order to critically discuss how the theoretical tools presented in the course can concretely help the case study analysis.
In this sense, the training objectives that the course pursues are:
- Knowledge and understanding - including applied knowledge - of the main issues in the political science debate on populism;
- Mastery of the main dimensions of the scientific debate on populism (definitions, causes, consequences, characteristics of populist parties and leaders and communication aspects)
- Autonomy of judgement and critical understanding of populist phenomena, their causes and consequences;
- Communicative skills in expounding issues related to contemporary populism;
- Implementation of learning skills.
The aim of the course is to introduce knowledge of populism studies. After proposing some reflections on the object of study, the course develops a teaching proposal based on four integrated modules:
- Approaches and definitions, in historical and comparative perspective;
- Varieties of populisms: typologies and causes
- Populism and Democracy
- The Italian case: history, organisation and communication of populist parties
Module Reference & Texts
Approaches and definitions, in historical and comparative perspective: Graziano (pp. 7-44); Anselmi (pp. 7-58); Ostiguy
Varieties of populisms: typologies and causes: Graziano (pp. 45-76 and 85-96); Anselmi (pp. 65-77)
Populism and Democracy: Graziano (pp. 97-102); Canovan; Abts & Rummens; Rovira
The Italian case: history, organisation and communication of populist parties: Graziano (pp. 77-84); Anselmi (pp. 59-64);
Prior reading of the relevant materials for each lesson is highly recommended, in order to already handle the analytical tools for an informed participation in the lesson by the students.
examMode
There are two final tests, identical for attending and non-attending students:
Short Written Paper (weight on final grade: 50%). Submission of a short article (max. 1500 words), with limited supporting bibliography. In the article the student will have to select a case of a contemporary European populist party and will have to discuss, on the basis of the theoretical tools developed in the course, its main ideological and communicative characteristics, as well as to frame it within the relevant typologies proposed and in historical perspective.
The paper must be sent to the professor at least seven days before the day of the oral examination.
NB: for students attending the 6 CFUs course, it will be possible to submit a co-authored manuscript (max 3 authors), or a single-authored manuscript in a shortened version (max 1000 words).
Oral examination (weight on final grade: 50%). The oral exam aims to verify the achievement of the training objectives, and in particular: the full comprehension of the concepts covered by the course ("Knowledge and ability to understand the main issues"); to verify the development of learning and communicative skills of the issues covered by the course.
The written paper is mainly intended to measure the ability to critically understand the founding concepts of populism studies, as well as the applicability of the concepts and notions illustrated in the course to contemporary populist phenomena ("Applied knowledge and understanding of the main issues related to Political Science"; "Autonomy of judgement and understanding").
The lecturer is at the disposal of the students in order to suggest and guide them on the choice of case and on how to write the paper.

Learning objectives
The course provides students with the analytical, conceptual and methodological tools for analyzing and comprehending political change from the XXth century up till today, with particular reference to changes in the political cultures of complex societies and the efffects of globalization on political processes and on the democratic fibre of the nations. . Through the analysis of political sociology's main authors, theories and concepts students will acquire the necessary knowledge and competence for interpreting -and professionally operating in - complex globalized socio-political systems. The acquired baggage of knowledge and experties will enable students to comprehend the dynamics, power relations, structural and superstructural variables that operate in the political context they will deal and work with in the future.
1. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- read and summarize scientific texts that analyze the concept of political culture and its multiple fields (leadership styles, political organizations, political communication, political participation, etc.)
- describe the main theoretical concepts and research methodologies attributable to the national and international panorama of studies on political cultures;
- identify the main authors who contributed to the definition of the concept of political culture and its evolution.
2. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- collocate authors and theories relating to the concept of political culture in a line of temporal evolution;
- summarize the main theoretical-scientific aspects related to the studies on political cultures;
- define its limits and identify the critical issues of the concept of political culture.
3. MAKING JUDGMENTS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- describe in socio-political terms the characteristics of the political system and its complex interactions with the social system.
- identify and use socio-political variables in the evaluation of a complex political and social scenario;
- understand the multiple dimensions that intervene in the relations between the political system and the social system.
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- use the scientific lexicon of political sociology in an advanced way in oral exposure and writing;
- discuss in public concepts, theories and criticisms relating to studies on political cultures;
- work in a group, sharing and exchanging the knowledge acquired in the field of political sociology.
5. LEARNING SKILLS. At the end of the course students will be able to:
- find and deepen independently the new scientific orientations and the new contributions offered to the study and analysis of the relationship between the social system and the political system.
- recover and deepen acquired socio-political knowledge during the course of their scientific maturation process and along their professional path.
The course will deal with the deep changes occurring in the political culture of complex societies and the challenges coming from the globalization process. Political parties, ideologies, styles of political communication, political organization and participation are no longer the same as we have known in the classical years of the past century.
We will analize their processes, their causes, modalities and effects in relation to the quality of democracy.
Therefore we will focus on the following topics:
- Political cultures
- Political parties
- Political participation
- Leadership
- Populism
- Globalization
- National identities
- Political communication
examMode
At the end of the course students will have to demonstrate that they have acquired and comprehended the main socio-political concepts and theories analyzed during the lessons, that they can individuate and interpret the contribution of the different authors and the scientific debate on the matter. More specifically students are expected to demonstrate that they understand political change and that they are able to frame it -with autonomous judgement and critical thinking - within the wider process of globalization connecting its effects on the democratic fiber of complex nations.
The final exam will be oral, according to art. 23 of the Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo (the University's Didactics Rule, art.23) and articulated on an average of 4 fundamental questions in order to assess student's: level of knowledge in relation to the contents of the course (superficial, appropriate, precise and complete, complete and thorough), the capability to apply theoretical concepts (errors in the application, average capability, good capability, solid capability), their analysis, synthesis and interdisciplinary connections' skills (sufficient, good, very good); their capabily to express a critical perspective and judgement (sufficient, good, very good), their capability to express themselves (poorly, simply, clearly and correctly, solidly and correctly).
Halfway through the course there will be a written test (votes won't be registered) in order to assess the level of knowledge acquired so far.

During the initial lessons, the general knowledge (theoretical and experiential) of the attendees is verified interactively and the basic elements of the discipline are provided through a historical and theoretical analysis of its main concepts.
Conclusive lessons summarize the theories, concepts, and key cases discussed in the course.
Teaching language: Italian
Teaching Support Activities:
During the course, if necessary, meetings with students will be organize to clarify them theories and concepts examined during the ordinary lessons.
During the course (depending on the actual availability of authoritative jobseekers), seminars and lectures can be organized on specific topics relevant to teaching (either autonomously or in collaboration with public institutions and civil organizations).

Learning objectives
The course of ENVIRONMENT, TERRITORY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTis essentially oriented to the understanding of the role that natural resources and their utilization can have for the development of bio-economy with reference to the agro-food system. It aims to provide students with the analytical tools to understand the opportunities offered but also the technical and economic constraints for a sustainable use of natural resources. Within this framework, the course will focus on the role of the agri-food system in pursuing its multiple objectives, as well as the complementary and competitive relationships with other sectors of the bio-economy in the use of natural resources.
These knowledge and skills aim to provide students with the ability to evaluate: a) the policies implemented at local, national and international level for the development of a sustainable bio-economy and; b) to formulate, based on the incentive structure offered by the market and policies, innovative projects in processes and products.
I) General part:
- The strategic role of agricultural resources: agriculture in the development process, technical progress and population growth, agriculture and international relations, food security and insecurity, rural development and social inequity
- Players and problems of the global agri-food sector: the governance of modern agri-food supply chains and the distribution of market power; food consumption, nutrition and public health
- Sustainability and sustainable development: the 2030 agenda.
- Agricultural policies and rural development: objectives and tools, the development of the Community Agricultural Policy (CAP), the new CAP in the European Green Deal.
II) Special part of your choice: choose a topic (and the related articles) from those indicated by the teacher.

The module 1 examines the most fruitful and evocative directions in the history of politics: the theoretical models, practices and languages through which the relationship between political power and citizenship, civil customs and cultural consumption has changed.
Two seminar paths follow a theoretical and explanatory part of moments and passages of the present time.
Languages and communication in the Presidents of the Republic. Comparative paths are outlined between the European republican models (France, Germany, Italy) and the Americans (United States and Chile). Issues such as: relations between the head of state, citizens and public opinion are discussed; the speeches and the presidential style, the internal and foreign travels, the influence in shaping the image of the country.
The imaginary, languages and civil rituals in the representations of the Republic. The history of republican narratives in the postwar period are investigated through both linguistic-cultural and symbolic-ritual aspects, correlating political-institutional communication with the evolution of social and cultural mentalities.
examMode
The evaluation of the educational path takes place through an oral exam.

Learning objectives
The course is aimed at enabling the acquisition of the "institutions" - therefore of the basic notions - of substantive and procedural criminal law, for the purpose of a high professional qualification, oriented to consultancy in investigative, public and private matters.
The course - during which the constitutional principles on which the legal system and its main fundamental and functional profiles will be studied, as well as the interactions and reciprocal relationships between the substantive and procedural legislation - is divided into a cycle of lessons - in the course of which the various substantive and procedural institutes will also be analyzed with reference to jurisprudential cases, with the aid of documents and judicial documents.
In the past, the execution of punishments – especially the most brutal ones – was a public event: the
“spectacle of punishment” was an essential element of the function of the penalty. Today, however,
the execution phase takes place in private, behind prison walls. While it is a fact that, in democratic
systems, punishments must be carried out with respect for human dignity, understanding how the
State exercises its power and fulfills its duties toward prisoners is essential in order to assess the
soundness of the criminal justice system and, ultimately, the degree of a nation’s civilization.
Indeed, nowhere more than in prison does the balance between repressive needs and individual
rights become so tangible.
The course therefore aims to explore how this balance is conceived in the Italian Constitution and in
the main supranational sources, and to examine how it is concretely implemented in primary and
secondary legislation, as well as in practice. Particular attention will be devoted to the so-called
elements of treatment, and especially to the exercise by prisoners of those rights that detention
should not deny – such as the rights to education, affection, and work.
Some fundamental decisions of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights
(ECtHR) will be analyzed in detail during practical sessions that involve active student
participation.
Through these in-depth studies – intended to promote an understanding of the essential elements of
penitentiary law – students will be able to demonstrate their ability to apply the acquired knowledge
independently and with a critical approach.
1. Knowledge and understanding
By the end of the course, students will have acquired a systematic understanding of the
constitutional and supranational principles governing the execution of criminal sanctions, with
particular focus on the balance between repressive needs and the protection of prisoners’
fundamental rights. They will understand the historical and legal evolution of the purpose of
punishment and the role of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights in
ensuring respect for human dignity and the rehabilitative aim of punishment.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding
Students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired to the critical analysis of concrete
cases and judicial decisions, both national and European, concerning prison law. Through exercises,
simulations, and seminars, they will be able to identify and interpret legal rules governing prison
treatment, understanding their impact on prisoners’ daily lives and on the criminal justice system as
a whole.
3. Making judgements
The course aims to develop students’ ability to make independent and critical assessments of the
functioning of the penitentiary system and of the effectiveness of prisoners’ rights protection.
Students will be encouraged to reflect on the relationship between security and human dignity, to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current system, and to formulate interpretative and
reform-oriented proposals consistent with constitutional and international principles.
4. Communication skills
Through oral presentations, case discussions, and flipped-classroom activities, students will develop
the ability to communicate clearly, coherently, and persuasively on complex legal issues related to
prison law. They will be able to present and defend their analyses before peers, instructors, and
professionals, using appropriate technical language and demonstrating awareness of institutional
contexts.
5. Learning skills
The course will provide methodological tools for the independent study of legal, regulatory, and
judicial sources in prison law. Students will learn to use academic literature, case law, and
documentary sources to explore specific topics, developing skills essential for continuous learning
and legal research. Supplementary activities – prison visits, seminars with practitioners, and
multimedia materials – will enhance learning abilities.
1. “Aiming at the re-education of the convicted person.” Why and how to punish: prison and the functions of punishment. The role of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).
2. “Punishments may not consist of treatment contrary to the sense of humanity.” Observation and treatment: basic rules of prison life and health protection.
3. “The full development of the human person” in prison: the elements of treatment.
4. “The Republic recognizes the right of all citizens to work and promotes the conditions that make this right effective.” Prison labor and the progressive treatment system (temporary leaves and licenses).
5. Not only prison: an overview of alternative measures to detention.
6. Reflections on order and security: the penitentiary organization, the “hard prison regime” (carcere duro), and life imprisonment without parole (ergastolo ostativo).
7. Practical exercises (in the form of a flipped classroom) on decisions of the Constitutional Court and the ECtHR.
8. Final exam for attending students.
The main legal texts that will be most frequently considered are the Penitentiary Law (Law of 26 July 1975, No. 354) and the Implementing Regulation of the Penitentiary Law (Presidential Decree of 30 June 2000, No. 230).
Given the essential role that the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights have played over the years in advancing prisoners’ rights, aimed at their reintegration into society, some fundamental judgments will be examined together with students (for example, on intimate relationships within prison and prison overcrowding).
A visit to a penitentiary institution and seminars with professionals working in detention facilities will also be organized.

IUS/17
Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding: study and analysis of the theoretical framework of criminal policy models centered around the two pairs — crime and deviance, and State and society.
Applied knowledge and understanding: analysis of movements and experiences, and the ability to apply acquired concepts to interpret them.
Independent judgment: ability to formulate critical reflections on study materials and to think independently about the issues discussed in class.
Communication skills: ability to communicate clearly, effectively, and with appropriate language.
Learning skills: fostering the ability to use the knowledge acquired during the course and the method applied to the analysis of criminal policy experiences and movements.
The course primarily focuses on models of criminal policy analyzed from a structural perspective, that is, by observing the constants and variations from which six fundamental models emerge (authoritarian, liberal, self-governing, medical, totalitarian, and communitarian).
Using this framework, various movements in criminal policy will be examined from a dynamic standpoint—for instance, those concerning ethically controversial issues, internal and international security, psychiatric treatment, the management of political opposition, and assaults on sexual freedom or personal integrity.
