Learning objectives

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 courses 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 preclassical period, provide the basic methodologies for their analysis, as well as the essential bibliography and some of the most recent historiographic orientations on the topics considered. The second part of the course ( part p) aims at providing an in-depth knowledge of some periods and themes of the Near Eastern historical documentation, as well as the methodologies and specific bibliography for their interpretation, according to an approach that integrates historical, philological and archaeological data and approaches.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Program

The course (i+ p) provides an overview of the history of the Near East from Neolithic to the first millennium BC. The course (i) is devoted to the general and introductory presentation of the main phases, salient events and periodization of Siro-Mesopotamian history. Specific themes and aspects of the ancient Near Eastern regions and societies are also considered in a diachronic and long-durée perspective. The lessons are integrated by a 12-hours seminar devoted to the material evidence of writing, especially on clay, and on the archives unearthed in various sites of the area and dating back to different periods, which constitute a source of primary importance for the historical reconstruction.
