PROGRAMMA 2017-2018


“E. M. FORSTER: COLONIALISM AND LIBERAL IDEOLOGY”

1° modulo: English Grammar: Learning the language
Le lezioni del primo modulo saranno volte al potenziamento delle principali abilità linguistiche: grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, speaking, use of English.


2° modulo: E. M. Forster
Il secondo modulo sarà incentrato sull’analisi della figura di E. M. Forster, il cui ruolo di intellettuale e romanziere a cavallo tra il diciannovesimo e il ventesimo secolo rivela interessanti aspetti di connessione di mondi antitetici, contrasti storici, sociali e individuali. La missione di collegamento dei poli oppositivi dell’esistenza, al di là dell’aspetto narrativo, è una missione personale, morale, di conoscenza e comprensione del genere umano, compiuta secondo le regole del pensiero liberale. Nel suo dar voce ai molteplici aspetti dell’esistenza, l’opera forsteriana segue, in una linea ideale, le coordinate ideologiche del liberalismo, che ammette perfettibilità ma non perfezione, aspira alla completezza senza mai raggiungerla.
Pur tenendo presente una molteplicità di livelli di analisi (letterario, storico, politico, culturale e teorico), l’approccio critico si fonderà sulla lettura ravvicinata di testi letterari e sull’esplorazione di alcuni meccanismi di testualizzazione che mostrano il ruolo della cultura e della letteratura all’interno del periodo storico-politico di riferimento.


3° modulo: A Passage to India
Il terzo modulo si concentrerà sulla lettura di uno dei romanzi di E. M. Forster, A Passage to India, tematicamente basato sulla descrizione del mondo coloniale e sulle dinamiche relazionali tra oriente e occidente.
A Passage to India segna il momento di massima creatività della scrittura di E. M. Forster, decretando il punto di arrivo di un lungo processo di esplorazione narrativa, intrapresa dall’autore attraverso opere precedenti. Oltre al merito culturale di rappresentazione delle evoluzioni sociali e razziali, il valore del romanzo è da ricercare nel processo di meditazione sulle forme artistiche e letterarie che esso propone. Nel corso delle lezioni i principali aspetti del romanzo verranno analizzati nel contesto del loro valore storico-sociale e nella prospettiva dei diversi sistemi culturali chiamati in causa.


Tipologia Didattica: Lezioni frontali in lingua inglese. Tre moduli, obbligatorio, 225 ore, 8 CFU.

First module: English grammar: Learning the Language
The first module deals with some of the main grammar and morpho-syntactic structures of the English language. The language skills acquired by the students will be assessed at the end of the course through the 'Prova di esonero'.

Second module: Afrofuturism: Literature, Music, Cinema
Afrofuturism is an interdisciplinary cultural movement that rejects a number of clichés that have commonly referred to people of African descent. At a first glance, Afrofuturism may sound like an oxymoron. “Afro” and “Futurism” are likely to be considered as terms in opposition, the former evoking images of primitivism and backwardness, the latter – ever since F. T. Marinetti’s definition in 1909 – celebrating instead speed and modernity. The creative contribution of Afrofuturist writers, musicians, artists, filmmakers and critics challenges the stereotypical historical view routinely applied to the Black Atlantic experience and proposes counter-histories that reconsider the role of black people in the western society in the past and imagine alternative roles in the future. The module focuses on the different languages of Afrofuturism: music, visual arts, cinema and especially literature − proto-Afrofuturist fiction such as W.E.B. Du Bois’s short story “The Comet” (1920), George S. Schuyler’s novel Black No More (1931) and more recent examples such as Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952) and Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred (1979). The reference material includes works of fiction, critical essays and audiovisual material.

The acquisition of tools needed to understand the XIX and XX centuries will be realized through a programme divided in three parts.
In the first one, with the aid of the history manual, the basic knowledge about the development of contemporary world, about the main processes of cultural, economic, political, institutional and social transformations will be acquired. This part will also describe the key turning points and some historiographical junctions. In the second part the analysis will focus on WW1, its global dimension as watershed between the 19th and the 20th century. In the third part the study will deal with the elaboration of the idea of peace, as put forward by pacifist movements, in particular the women’s pacifism, and how it held before the deflagration of the conflict.
The acquired knowledge, verified in the relevant exams, should give evidence of the critical ability in understanding the complexity of problems the relevance of specific aspects of events in the 19th and 20th centuries. For those who attended the lessons there will be a written test valid to pass the first part of the exam, namely the one based on the study of the manual.

The Course is aimed at analysing the global and regional IOs phenomenon along the lines of their institutional and operative features in the perspective of the inter-governmental cooperation as well as the human rights protection. The last topic has a proper cross-cutting impact in both universal and regional institutional systems. The substantial notions are fundamental for accessing the diplomatic or IOs official carrier or to work in public and private institutions as well as EU and international NGOs.
The Course is developed into two main sections, devoted respectively to the institutional and operative features of global and regional IOs, and to the promotion and protection of human rights within the universal and regional institutional systems and related monitoring mechanisms (e.g. UN, CoE, EU, OSCE, OAS, African Union) and frameworks (Latin America, Middle East, Asia).

The e-books will be available access to the Library Platform of the Department. The Professor will give more details about their study during the lectures.
For students not attending the Course: the readings will be provided for by the Professor according to the fixed academic training credits.

The aim of the first part of the course is to offer to the students some fundamental instruments of knowledge relative to:
- the meaning of politics;
- how to construct scientific theories;
- elements of methodology used by political science to investigate the political phenomena;
- some crucial themes, such as the state and the processes of state-building and nation-building and the process of European integration;
- the types and characteristics of political regimes (non-democratic and democratic regimes);
The second part of the course will touch, always in a comparative perspective, the subject of democracy. The following themes will be analyzed:
- the parts of the political system (elités and political classes, political parties, groups, social movements);
- elections and electorial systems;
- political representation;
- the democratic institutional systems (parliament, government, public administrations);
- the players and the dynamics of policy-making.

This course explores (first part) the basic concepts of cultural anthropology and ethnography (culture / s, ethnicity / ethnic groups, cultural relativism / ethnocentrism, racisms, globalization). The ethnographic method will be analyzed from participant observation up to multi-location and multi-vocal research). In this direction the course (second part) studies the anthropology of migrations also focusing on gender and feminist ethnography. The third part of the course examine the concepts relating to the sociocultural representations and uses of bodies in the local dimension and in the global ecumene (body techniques, habitus, incorporation). Therefore, some ethnographic cases will analyze, focusing on the bio-political dimension and the anthropological critique of human rights.The project https://mapfgm.eu will analyze as case study.

The course will address the evolution of the world economy geographic scenario in recent decades, as well as the evolution of the conceptual tools needed to understand the radical changes of economic and political nature materialized in this same period. With this in mind, we are going to discuss: the globalization and its territorial effects (from the breakup of the postwar global order, to the emergence of the Global South); the geography of resources (agricultural, mining, energetic); the industrial sectors in the third millennium; the centrality of urban spaces in the contemporary economy; the geography of transport and tourism and so on. In the second part of the course, we highlight the process of “spatial rewriting” of politics and we provide interpretative keys to understand the changes occurred in recent years in the complex relationship between geography and politics. Further to an overview on the evolution of the main schools of thought in the geopolitical sphere, we explore key subjects such as: the State and its transformations, from the Welfare State to Workfare State; the geography of regionalisms and nationalisms; the importance of social movements in contemporary politics; the areas of the world with the highest conflict rates and so on. There will be lectures, an excursion and eventual workshops.
