Teaching Workshop: Fundamentals of the Research On Cinema: from Sources to the Writing of the Thesis

The workshop aims to provide students with basic methodological training on research in the cinematographic field. The themes of bibliographic survey and methods of consultation, analysis and selection of sources, published and archival, physical and digital, will be introduced in reference to their historical, cultural and institutional background. Students will also acquire skills useful for returning their research during the thesis writing phase.

At the end of the workshop, students will be able to distinguish the main types of sources attributable to the cinematographic sector, to orient themselves with respect to the availability and accessibility of resources and will have assimilated the foundations for their contextualization and critical use. Through practical exercises they will also be able to start the writing of their thesis.
