The course aims to provide students with the main methodological tools to analyze and interpret society and economy during the medieval period. Its objective is twofold: on one hand, it intends to provide students with a complex series of conceptual and categorical tools from which it is possible to "think" a social and economic structure; on the other hand, it intends to bring students closer to medieval sources their problems, allowing them to acquire an adequate methodology to reconstruct individuals, groups, practices and circuits as well as to identify the processes of change starting from a specific documentary corpus.
