M-STO/02 - MODERN HISTORY

Period

I semestre - sede Trento dal Sep 18, 2017 al Dec 22, 2017.

Learning outcomes

The course provides a knowledge of the theme proposed, considered in the period from the late Middle Ages to the modern age, through a historical approach of a socio-anthropological and comparative kind.

Program

"Carnival and Lent in the early modern period: between history and anthropology." The two calendrical periods will be examined in their distinctive features primarily through the behaviors attached to them, from their medieval origins to the modern period. Areas considered will be Italy and other European countries (mainly France and the German-speaking areas). Of the contrasting behaviors that take place in the two periods (related to food, sex, holiday or penance, individual and collective, public and private) the course will highlight the possible social, religious and ritual functions, with an emphasis on some anthropological interpretations. Iconography too will be analyzed among the possible sources.
