| 10621545 | Forms and materials of luxury in the ancient world [L-ANT/07] [ITA] | 1st | 1st | 6 |
Educational objectives The course aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and interpret, based on individual cultural contexts, the forms and materials of luxury in the ancient world, in particular in Greek and Roman societies in the period between the Archaic Age (7th century BC) and the fall of the Roman Empire (5th century AD). The theoretical part of the course, focusing on the conception of luxury among the Greeks and Romans, will allow the student to grasp the meanings (religious, secular, aesthetic, ethical, social promotion) of the ambition to luxury; while the analysis of artefacts (furniture, silverware, jewellery, sculptures, mosaics), residential buildings (domus and residences of sovereigns) and valuable funerary monuments (royal Macedonian tombs, imperial mausoleums, tombs of high-ranking individuals) will allow students to define the expressions of luxury, the costs, the most popular trends, the patterns, even the figures who exerted a great appeal to be imitated in their luxury way of dressing or combing their hair (e.g. Cleopatra). To this end, the student will also examine textual sources, including literary authors (among others: Pliny the Elder, Petronius, Cicero, Seneca) and epigraphic sources (in particular with reference to sumptuary laws), to have direct testimony on the phenomenon of luxury in the ancient world. At the end of the course and through the study of the whole bibliography, students will have acquired familiarity with methodologies for the analysis of ancient artefacts, basic terminology and arguments that will enable them to grasp the historical origins of some expressions of luxury still in force in our Western societies.

| 10616650 | ITALIAN LITERATURE FOR FASHION [L-FIL-LET/10] [ITA] | 1st | 2nd | 6 |
Educational objectives The course:
provides students with knowledge and understanding of the methodological, critical-problematic, and applied aspects of the discipline; it introduces areal and sectoral perspectives in which research projects related to the discipline are or may be developed; and it highlights the diversity of fields in which disciplinary expertise can be applied (Descriptor 1);
fosters the student’s ability to independently relate the knowledge acquired to other academic sectors (SSDs), including historical, literary, artistic, cultural heritage, economic, political, and religious studies (Descriptor 2);
enables students to apply the acquired knowledge and disciplinary vocabulary toward the development of so-called “transversal competences,” such as independent judgment and communication skills (Descriptors 3–5).

| 10616857 | History Production and Conservation of Textile Heritage [L-ANT/07] [ITA] | 1st | 2nd | 6 |
Educational objectives The course aims to analyse, from a diachronic perspective, the foundational elements of textile
culture, recognised as an essential cultural heritage that has historically sustained industry,
craftsmanship, and art. The objective is to provide students with a basic understanding of the main
phases of the textile production chain: from the selection and processing of raw materials, to the
technological aspects of yarn and fabric production, up to decorative motifs and finishing
treatments, taking into account their historical evolution. The educational activities, structured in
lectures and practical workshops, aim to develop both theoretical and practical skills in the
documentation and identification of the basic textile weaves and natural fibres. Particular attention
will be given to processing techniques, fibre morphology and properties, as well as the degradation
processes to which they are subject. By the end of the course, students will possess a solid cultural
and technical background, useful for the analysis and understanding of historical and archaeological
textile heritage, as well as of the roots of European and Mediterranean textile culture and craftsmanship.

| 1042072 | THE BODY THE VEST THE IDENTITY I [L-FIL-LET/06] [ITA] | 1st | 2nd | 6 |
Educational objectives The course prepares students to appreciate the interaction between classical, Graeco-Roman aesthetics, with its peculiar evaluation of both body and dress, and Jewish-Christian anthropology: they meet in the most systematic form in the imperial and late-ancient age, thus opening the way for medieval aesthetics. The course therefore aims to teach how to read ancient documents, both literary (with a particular attention to Christian literature: New Testament, apocryphal literature, Gnosticism, apologetics), and iconographic, to reconstruct the evaluation of the body and dress in the most diverse social contexts, from the daily life of the working classes to the clerical and monastic world, from the aristocracy to the emperor himself. The student will therefore learn how the ancient perception of the body and dress must be studied in its historical effectiveness (the concrete situations in which the visibility of both is possible), but also in its ideological context.

models, with particular attention to the figure of the feminine in history and myth.
It explores methodological and sectoral perspectives that allow the identification of interdisciplinary
research areas and applications of the skills acquired in different cultural and
temporal contexts (Descriptor 1).
o It promotes the student's ability to connect the contents learned with knowledge pertaining to other
disciplinary sectors - such as history, literature, art, cultural heritage, economics, politics and the
history of religions - promoting a comparative and integrated approach to the analysis of
gender models (Descriptor 2).
o It develops autonomy of judgment and mastery of the specific language in the field of
gender studies, strengthening transversal skills such as argumentation ability, critical analysis of
sources, effective communication and application of knowledge in different contexts
(Descriptors 3-5).
