MODERN HISTORY A - L

Acquisition of basic knowledge on the history of the modern age with particular reference to aspects of political history.

Lectures and seminars.

A. Modern Europe. General reference frameworks (3 CFU)

A political history approach is preferred to define an overview of the transformation processes of Europe between the 16th and 19th centuries. We will focus on defining and affirming the political dimension with the formation of the modern state, linking it to the processes of economic and social transformation (from urbanism to the industrial revolution, to the increasingly complex articulation of élites and social groups and territorial balances).

B. Disaster policy (2 CFU)

The social and political reactions to the epidemics and calamities that have marked European history in the modern age (plague, cholera, earthquakes) will be reconstructed

C. The French Revolution, history and historiography (4 CFU)

Interpretations and events of the French Revolution will intertwine in the light of the historiographic approaches outlined by F. Furet and the complex story of the 'twentieth-century' interpretations' of the great event that marked the overall historiographic cultural and political panorama of the last century in a relevant way.
