COLOZZA ROBERTO
(syllabus)
The course B (24 hours) outlines the Italian communist party’s public communication and how this contributed to shape its public profile. Didactics will be based on written sources as well as on audiovidual documents. Part of the course will be devoted to a comparative analysis of the French case (namely the French communist party) in the framework of a partnership with the Université Côte d’Azur-Centre de la Méditerranée Moderne et Contemporaine di Nizza.
The cours B is divided into three thematic lines: the first one is all about language (congress speeches, etc.); then the PCI’s identity will be analyzed through the study of symbols and memories; the third topic concerns the link between politics and mass culture, including media such as cinema and TV

RIDOLFI Maurizio
(syllabus)
Module A (24 hours), in the dialogue between the historical-political and socio-linguistic sciences, retraces the transformations that have taken place in the practices and languages of politics in the public sphere, both through institutional subjects and through the most significant thematic paths in the transformations of the contemporary age.
The module examines the most fruitful and evocative directions in the history of politics: the theoretical models, practices and languages through which the relationship between political power and citizenship, civil customs and cultural consumption has changed.
Two seminar paths follow a theoretical and explanatory part of moments and passages of the present time.
Languages and communication in the Presidents of the Republic. Comparative paths are outlined between the European republican models (France, Germany, Italy) and the Americans (United States and Chile). Issues such as: relations between the head of state, citizens and public opinion are discussed; the speeches and the presidential style, the internal and foreign travels, the influence in shaping the image of the country.
The imaginary, languages and civil rituals in the representations of the Republican. The history of republican narratives in the postwar period are investigated through both linguistic-cultural and symbolic-ritual aspects, correlating political-institutional communication with the evolution of social and cultural mentalities.
