Teaching method

The classes are seminar-oriented. The syllabus resorts two main activities. In the first hour we will read, expose and explain the fundamental key concepts and the theoretical frameworks of the texts at stake. In the second hour we willbe interpreting and analysing the texts with the students in order to promote a debate about alternative views, possible objections, argumentation and expression.
