Educational objectives The course will analyze the main transformations that have affected the world film industry from the 1950s to the late 1980s, focusing on the arthouse cinema system. Taking into account technological, aesthetic, sociocultural and economic aspects, the lessons will offer a survey of the concept of arthouse cinema, with particular reference to European and American film culture. Particular emphasis will be given to specific movements and trends: from Italian auteur cinema to the French nouvelle vague, through the new German, Japanese and British cinema, up to the New Hollywood.

Educational objectives The course is dedicated to theatrical dramaturgy. We will not focus so much on aesthetic issues, in order to avoid approaches that tend to still too often define the theatrical text as a product, while the two aspects that we will highlight will be, on the one hand, the historical-contextual ones (historical context, organizational-productive, theatrical culture) and on the other, above all, a structural analysis aimed at highlighting how a theatrical text is made and why it works from a dramaturgical point of view, therefore with an attention (rare so far at least in the Italian context), for example, to the dynamics of protagonist and antagonist, objectives, conflicts, character transformation arcs and everything else that is at the basis of the process of creation and development of a dramaturgy, always with the awareness that the dramaturgical work is also a "craft" work, closely intertwined with the historical-cultural and economic-productive contexts in which it is placed, to the needs of the material theatre or the micro-society of the actors, characterized at the same time by practical action and thought.
