Program

The course deals with the topic of diversity along three lines: the cultural diversity represented by foreign citizens (media and immigration), the diversity of being children and adoptive parents (adoption as a life experience that thematizes the fundamental nodes of living in a complex society), the diversity of being a life sentence in a judicial and media system led to the creation of the "monster" (the case of the Biondino della Spider Rossa). These are issues that affect the fields of journalism, digital communication and publishing: because no one can be considered safe, or even exempt, from the confrontation with diversity; or by embodying some form of diversity.
