Course contents

The Humanities Ph.D. program aims to provide the theoretical and methodological background required to carry out advanced research in the humanities. Humanities are called upon today to meet the challenges posed by the cognitive, technological, and social transformations of the contemporary world. This goal is achieved through a multidisciplinary and systemic approach to the fields of information, knowledge, education, and the shifting of political paradigms, which are central to grasping and interpreting change in contemporary societies and subjectivities.

Our Ph.D. program is characterized by the fact that it combines multidisciplinary methodological training with specialized training in the relevant disciplines, drawing on the contribution of different fields covering a vast time span, from the Greek world to the contemporary one: languages, literature, and philologies, historical and philosophical disciplines, cultural and communication disciplines, pedagogical and psychological disciplines.

The Ph.D. is structured in four curricula:

1. Communication Sciences and Digital Culture
2. Sciences of Ancient Text;
3. Contemporary History;
4. Human Scieces.

The specific approach of the Ph.D. consists

- in enhancing the plurality of methods: from the close reading of sources, considered according to multiple typologies - archival documents, historiographic, literary, philosophical, sociological sources - up to the collection and analysis of empirical and experimental data;
- in building multidisciplinary common ground regarding the interpretation, classification, and publication of research results.

The transversality of the topic, supported by the confluence of methodologies, together with the integration of multidisciplinary training and research experiences, favors greater synergy and interaction between the various disciplines involved and a more pronounced productivity of the research, where each discipline, in confrontation and joint work, increases its awareness of the methods used and the intelligence of the documentary data.
