Course contents

The workshop intends to present, in a comparative perspective, the fundamental aspects of the history of disability. The course is structured in three parts. The first studies the process of codification of disabilities thanks to the reading of the treatises describing the symptoms / of mental and physical / handicaps and which has marked important milestones in the culture of disability. The second analyzes some cases of institutions that were first founded for the care and education of children affected by various forms of disability (institutions for the blind, deaf-mute, autistic and mentally disabled and motorized). The third reflects on the educational methods developed and on their circulation within educational institutions.

Teaching methods

In the perspective of the workshop teaching, the traditional (frontal) lectures will be followed and accompanied by group activities (aimed at writing short texts) that focus on the fundamental moments of the codification of the different forms of disability, of the birth of educational institutions, of models educational and their historical evolution.

Assessment methods

The final evaluation will consider the works produced by the students during the workshops and will take into account the learning of the contents, the capacity for critical re-elaboration and the use of specific terminology to the topics covered. The teacher will constantly gather the synthetic reflection texts written by the students, which will also allow them to evaluate the regular attendance.

Teaching tools

The moments of frontal didactics make use of visual aids (powerpoint), lecture notes provided by the teacher, visions of videos about the history of disability.
