Syllabus
Obiettivi Formativi
The aim of the course is to help students to approach the Mediterranean as a space characterised by exchanges, clashes and hybridisations, by mechanisms of intense circulation of people, goods, vessels, but even by cultural, social and institutional alterity. At the end of the course, students will have to demonstrate an adequate knowledge of the History of the Mediterranean such as to enable them to frame the major institutional, economic and socio-cultural issues that have affected this space from the disintegration of classical unity, with the advent of the barbarian invasions and the expansion of Islam, to the affirmation of the new geopolitical frameworks produced in this area at the beginning of the so-called "age of colonialism," passing through the transformations generated by the establishment of the modern states and nations.
