Literature, Arts and Environmental Heritage
Doctoral programme (PhD)
A.Y. 2021/2022
Study area
Humanities, Social Sciences and Law
PhD Coordinator
The doctoral programme in Literature, arts and environmental heritage is structured around two central ideas: the "text" (broadly considered as the product of intentional creative action), its history and success, the forms of its production and reception; the "context" or overall historical and environmental circumstances in which production of the text takes place. The new structure issues from experience developed during previous doctoral programmes in Classical Antiquity, History of Italian language and Literature, Cultural and Environmental Heritage Sciences. The cultural contents typical of the various sectors (philology, literature and linguistics, history and classical antiquity, archaeology, history of art, of music and of performing arts, human environmental sciences) will be studied in depth, developed and reorganised in a multidisciplinary whole.
