Curriculum

teacher profile | teaching materials

Programme

The cycle of seminars is intended for students who have completed at least the basic course in contemporary history and aims to offer concrete and up-to-date tools to study the 1970s, the social, civil and political movements that developed in Italy during the decade, with a further in-depth look at the phenomenon of political terrorism, from Piazza Fontana to the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro.
The seminars therefore aim to offer a historical framework of the period based on the most recent historiography and the current scientific bate, in order to reflect on the categories used in the public debate to talk about the 1970s and terrorism ('civil war', 'anni di piombo', 'strategia della tensione', 'dietrologia', 'Strage di Stato').
Secondly, the cycle of seminars will propose a critical examination of the sources with which to study the phenomenon of terrorism, with a twofold aim: both to disentangle oneself from the highly dispersed mare magnum of online sources, and to assess the methodologies for approaching Ministry of the Interior and judicial sources in a thoughtful and aware manner.
