Mutuazione: 20702481 Storia moderna in Storia, territorio e società globale L-42 VANNI ANDREA

Programme

The course focuses on the main themes of early modern history and modern history (from XV century to XIX century), with particular attention to the historiographic categories, the use of sources and the interpretative approaches of the historians. The different political, cultural, social, economic and religious aspects of the modern age will be studied from a local and global outlook, with a certain regard to the relations between the Italian peninsula, the European continent and extra-European realities.
The second part of the course focuses on the conceptual (and methodological) aspects that revolve around the historiographic category of the Renaissance. Against the background of the political events that have characterised the European history from the first half of the fifteenth century to the first half of the seventeenth century, the course also focuses on the main cultural, artistic, religious and social issues of the time.
