Program
The module of History of historiography aims to deepen the problems and methods that underlie the work of the historian, introducing the student to some "secrets of the trade". The course also aims to enable the student to "read critically" and "understand" a history book understood as a "product of the work of the historian".
This does not just mean knowing its contents organically, but rather breaking it down trying to grasp the following elements: a) by what problem the author is moved to write; b) what is the research path behind it; c) in what type of culture of insert (historical, political, philosophical, ideological, religious context); d) what sources were used and how; e) what methodological approaches were adopted; f) what new contribution the book led to historical discipline. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate to be able to overcome the manual simplifications (producers of unconscious stereotypes) and historiographical clichés, verifying on the sources and texts the best known interpretative schemes.
