Learning outcomes
The knowledge of the cultures, geographical environments, major phases and historical events of Near Eastern history is part of the study of ancient history envisaged in the didactic paths of the MA in Literature and Cultural Heritage. The introductory course aims to get acquainted with the main historical sources related to the Near Eastern world from prehistory till the pre-classical period, the basic methodologies for their analysis, as well as the essential bibliography and some of the most recent historiographic orientations on the topics discussed.
At the end of the course the student is expected to acquire the basic tools and the ability to orient himself in this wide field of ancient history and to relate it to the Mediterranean one, applying the knowledge acquired in order to gain a full understanding of the dynamics that characterized the formation of ancient civilizations and their subsequent heritage.
Program
The course (i+ p) provides an overview of the history of the Near East from prehistory to the first millennium BC. It is articulated in a first series of lessons (corresponding to course i) devoted to the general and introductory presentation of main phases, salient events and periodization of Siro-Mesopotamian history. The reference texts for part (i) are general-purpose manuals. They are integrated during the lessons by presenting sources and discussing some additional examples of secondary literature; a summary of the topics discussed will be uploaded to the e-learning platform.
