Learning objectives
The course aims at providing the conceptual, methodological and cultural framework to analyze and interpret the aesthetic issues related to contemporary art world. It is about analyzing contemporary aesthetic reflection, in order to understand the theoretical issues related to the practice and interpretation of contemporary arts in a more articulated way. Specific knowledge will be transmitted (interpretative theories and artistic practices in the history of the Western aesthetic tradition) which are subsequently applied to specific problems (of perception in general and to particular art works). The multisensory, multi-modal, multimedia character of contemporary artistic production will be emphasized, en-hancing the intertwining of art forms and philosophical reflections on them. At the end of the course, the student will have developed the ability to analyze and understand the fundamental philosophical texts of contemporary aesthetics, orienting the judgment on ar-tistic production, problematizing its most relevant theoretical aspects.
Prerequisites and basic notions
None
Program
Thinking the nude
The course will be divided into two main parts. A first part will be devoted to the philosophical exploration of the theme of the contemporary, mapping the problems of its conceptual and expressive articulations. The second part will be devoted to the theme of nudity, in its intertwining with some related topics: the body, the image, the veil, the act of unveiling, the idea of shame, eroticism, gesture, expression, and the search for the truth. Ample space will be given to the metaphor of the nuda veritas, in its iconographic, metaphorological and specifically philosophical implications. The course aims to investigate the question of nudity on a broad scale, interweaving themes related to aesthetics, art history, psychoanalysis, literature, ontology, and Visual Studies. The question of the veil, the metaphor of unveiling as a paradigm of the search for truth, the omnipresence of the image of nude bodies in contemporary imaginary, the history of the ideal nude up to the most recent contemporary artistic experiences will be some of the themes on which the students are called upon to measure themselves. Discussion with texts will be accompanied by analysis of contemporary artistic expressions related to the theme of nudity (Lucien Freud, Jenny Saville, Spencer Tunick, Vanessa Beecroft, Helmut Newton, Cindy Sherman, Ron Mueck among others).

Bibliography
Didactic methods
Although the frontal lessons will play an important role, they will be enriched by the discussions generated by the collective comparison on the themes evoked. Close reading and precise analysis of the proposed philosophical texts will be encouraged. These will be multisensory experiences, aimed at expanding the students' critical, perceptive and cognitive abilities. The active participation of the students will be encouraged, in order to build an educational environment that is as seminary as possible. There are no registrations for lessons.

Double degree
The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.
Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.
The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!
