Introduction

The Master's Degree in Cultural Intellectual and Visual History, entirely delivered in English, aims to provide students with a solid preparation that combines historical knowledge from antiquity to the contemporary age, rigorous methods, critical thinking and familiarity with digital technologies. For the first year classes will be exclusively “in-person”, while for the second year classes will be “online” with the exception of specific activities, i.e. laboratories, possible meetings with the thesis supervisor, tutoring activities, and educational trips.

The focus on cultural studies allows them to acquire specific interpretive keys in the analysis of reality, in its diachronic and synchronic, national and transnational dimensions: you will study the ideas and artefacts, institutions and practices, beliefs and behaviours that have contributed to forming and transforming the cultural physiognomy of societies, especially European ones, in their variety and distinctiveness, from antiquity to the present, together with the factors, material and intellectual, that have helped to delineate, in different times and places, different ways of interpreting associated life, in the articulation of roles and identities.

The course is divided into two years of 60 ECTS each, and involves the "mixed" mode - that is, with remote lectures for about 50 per cent of the total.

The first year will be entirely carried out at the university site in Milan, with exclusively in-person classes (the only exception will be the language course for the achievement of the C1 English level delivered remotely by the SLAM University Language Center). Instead, the online mode will be reserved for the second year, with the exception of specific activities that will remain present and will be delivered in concentrated periods of time, i.e. laboratories, possible meetings with the thesis supervisor, tutoring activities, and educational trips.
