Programme

The first teaching unit (6 cfu) will deal with the ways in which notions of "human" take shape in the Early modern European context between the beginning of the Sixteenth and the end of the Eighteenth century. The framework within which the path will unfold is open: what do we mean for "Europe" in the Early modern age? To respond, our gaze must necessarily be addressed to the world and to the encounter with the Other in its various forms.

The second teaching unit (6 cfu) intends to address the history of gender and sexuality within a European perspective, keeping a connection with the history of the notion of "human" sketched in the first section of the course.
