Cultural Heritage in the Near and Middle East, and in Africa

The course aims to provide knowledge and comprehension skills that complement and/or reinforce those acquired in the first cycle of studies, and to enable students to deal with original themes also in a research context, formulating judgements in a more complex and articulated form, communicating the knowledge and processes that led to their acquisition, and studying the topics independently. The course provides a good level of knowledge of Sumerian literature from a linguistic, historical-religious and ritual point of view.
