Studies in Art History

ANDREA MAMMONE

The course offers a general overview of the events that took place during the contemporary era, together with the basic tools for understanding current historiographical paths and critically approaching some methodological issues and some thematic analysis.
The course also allows students to understand the development of contemporary history, as well as to realize different historiographical positions in the interpretation of historical phenomena.
