Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
The workshop aims to introduce students to the critical reading and understanding of texts (primarily in political and social sciences), starting from the examination of significant cases. At the end of the workshop, students will have acquired the necessary skills to summarise, schematise (also in written form), contextualise and critically analyse theoretical, empirical and methodological aspects of the examined texts (volumes, journal essays, research reports, short articles).
Contenuti
The workshop will engage students in the reading and analysis of newspaper articles, sectionsh of classical texts from the history of political thought and short essays of political science. All the reading material will bear on notions like power, freedom, equality and democracy, and will allow students to develop instruments to critically interpret genesis, structure and evolutions across centuriews of the ideals at issue.
