Learning objectives
The course provides the broad outline of the discipline through its different methodological orientations; the history of texts and their materiality will be incorporated into the broader context of cultural history, philology and bibliography.
Expected learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the student will have acquired the knowledge of the fundamentals of the discipline through the in-depth analysis of certain case studies. The student will be able to use language tools (language properties, correct specific lexicon) to describe the content of the subject, and will be able to assess the implications that the more general historical and cultural context has in the press and on publishing. These skills will be acquired through a direct and continuous meeting with the instructor in the classroom. The discussion around the proposed sources will be an essential moment of critical reflection and methodological learning. Participation in meetings and seminars organized within the Department of Historical Studies will also be of great importance. Students opting not to attend the lessons will be able to make use of the educational tools provided by the instructor on Ariel, deepen their knowledge of main topics through special readings with the agreement with the instructor, and of course contact the instructor either by e-mail and during office hours
