Learning objectives
The course provides the broad outlines of the history of the European Renaissance and the tools necessary for critical understanding of the main political, social and religious aspects of Renaissance civilization between the 15th and 16th centuries.
The course consists of face-to-face lectures and seminar activities including reading sources and reports in the students' classrooms on texts proposed by the instructor.
Expected learning outcomes
By the end of the course, the student will have acquired the knowledge of the political, institutional, socio-economic and cultural development of the European Renaissance. They will be able to place the most representative events and figures in their chronological and geographical contexts. The student will be able to use language tools (language properties, correct specific lexicon) to express, in a clear and effective form, concepts of a political, institutional, economic, and religious nature. These skills will be acquired through a direct and continuous meeting with the instructor in the classroom. The discussion around the proposed sources will be an essential moment of critical reflection and methodological learning. Participation in meetings and seminars organized within the Department of Historical Studies will also be of great importance. Students opting not to attend the lessons will be able to make use of the educational tools provided by the instructor on Ariel, deepen their knowledge of main topics through special readings with the agreement with the instructor, and of course contact the instructor either by e-mail and during office hours.
