The Citizenship Training course is aimed at all students enrolled in the University's undergraduate, master's, single-cycle master's and PhD courses, regardless of the Department offering the course or the course they are enrolled in. The aim of the course is to promote the development of active and responsible citizenship through the acquisition of personal and social, entrepreneurial and digital skills.

The Course of Study recognises among other curricular activities the seminar modules activated by the Departments of the School of Humanities.

• Marginals and Rights (DAFIST - ref. prof. Langella) - 1 CFU
• Multiculturalism and citizenship (DLCM - ref. prof. Pusillo) - 1 CFU
• Religions in public space (DAFIST - ref. prof. Colagrossi) - 1 CFU

Introduced in the wake of the recognition of the Italian Sign Language (LIS) by the Italian state, these workshops aim to bring those who participate closer to the world of LIS; a world in which communication passes through a different channel from the one we usually associate with (spoken) languages: the visual-gestural channel.

- Four meetings of the Zhemao cycle:

For its second edition, Zhemao continues its dialogue with writers today. The aim remains to give literature a voice and investigate how it takes shape, what themes it pursues, how much dedication it requires. The publishing aspect is also brought into focus: what does it mean to publish today? what difficulties are encountered? how does the contemporary Italian publishing system work; and, on reflection, is it so different from the past?

1. 6 November DARIO VOLTOLINI | Invernale, Nave di Teseo, 2024
   The following spoke: Dario Voltolini and Ilaria Crotti
   The father splits animals, enters their guts, separates muscles from membranes, removes organs and bones. The father sells pieces of animals. The father dives into the biological chasm and pulls steaks out of it. Meat cuts are his trade and his art. The father is a butcher. The father's task is to go into the dead flesh and come out of it by handing it to the living, so that life can continue its voracious chain. He is a ferryman between the two sides of the meat, between viande and chair, between meat and flesh. At the market stall, he serves the fearful who do not face the bodies they eat, who do not want to know, delegating the dirty work to the butchers. One day something goes wrong in the perfect choreography of the blades and a crooked cut almost takes off a thumb. It is the beginning of another descent into flesh, this time his own. At work, a bacterium has contaminated him. It starts with an infection, continues with exhaustion, a feral diagnosis, medical protocols, trips to clinics abroad. His 20-year-old son Dario plunges his gaze into his father's deteriorating flesh, and into the melancholy of his departure. A strong intimacy envelops them, as happens almost only in the relationship between daughters and mothers. We enter into the son's gaze, prehensile and exact, as he sees his father keel over. Precision is the form his devotion and suffering take.
   Reading Dario Voltolini one is led to think that one can do without the world: his words are enough, his descriptions sparkling, capable of grasping things and arousing them like no one else.
   Tiziano Scarpa
2. 13 November IDA TRAVI | I Tolki, il Saggiatore, 2024
   The following spoke: Ida Travi and the Poet.-,
   collective. Chandra Livia Candiani called it "a magical work", Mariangela Gualtieri brought it to the theatre and cinema trying to transpose "its unique extraordinary music": for the first time Ida Travi's ten-year-long work, the Tolki saga, is collected in a single volume. Over time Ida Travi has inhabited the boundaries of publishing and literature, although she has always magically managed to track down those who love words and their mystery, of which these beings called Tolki are the embodiment. Silhouetted figures, remnants of a thousand-year-old family, relatives to come, or antediluvians: these are the Tolki, as Ida Travi describes them. Sacred and miserable, mysterious and simple, ghosts from each person's life, a life that fears to be uttered. They use a poor language, harsh as guilt, light as deliverance. They approach their readers with circumspection, not knowing whether to trust them, whether to confide their secrets, to reveal where they come from, what animates them, where they go. If they did, however, their readers would discover where the words come from, what animates them and where they go: they would know the future of the world.
They would know the future of the world.
3. 20 November (forthcoming)
4. 4 December MARIA GRAZIA CALANDRONE | Magnifico e tremendo stava l'amore, Einaudi, 2024
   With Maria Grazia Calandrone and Ilaria Crotti
   After the success of Dove non mi hai portata, Maria Grazia Calandrone investigates the lives of the protagonists of a real event, with the eyes of an investigator and the sensitivity of a poet. And she gives us back an affair in which the chiaroscuros are so many and so intertwined as to prevent us from a single reading.

In addition to attending the preparatory meetings, students will be required to participate in the public reading scheduled at the Feltrinelli Bookshop.

1 CFU

The Conference, organised by Clara Fossati, Domenico Losappio and Biagio Santorelli, will be held in Via Balbi 2 on 25 (afternoon), 26 (all day) and 27 (morning) November 2024.

The aim of the conference is to investigate the role of the first two of the seven liberal arts, grammar and rhetoric, in pre-humanistic circles and, more specifically, in pre-humanistic education, also in the light of the most recent studies and critical editions. To what extent were grammatical studies based directly on ancient texts or on texts that found their foundations in older texts? What was the role of rhetoric and, within it, the relationship between the different artes (dictandi, notariae, poetriae)?

These are some of the lines of research:

• analysis of grammatical or rhetorical texts developed in pre-humanistic cultural environments: their manuscript tradition, their fortunes, their exegesis, their classical and medieval sources;
• rhetorical/grammatical analysis of texts by prehumanist authors;
• glosses and commentaries by authors belonging to pre-humanist cultural environments on classical and medieval grammatical or rhetorical texts;
• codicological and/or palaeographical investigations of manuscripts containing grammatical or rhetorical texts made in prehumanistic cultural environments;
• influence of classical rhetorical or grammatical texts on texts composed in prehumanistic settings;
• school and university in prehumanistic cultural environments: curricula, texts, teachers;
• discussion of the critical literature available to date on the themes of the conference
.

Students, at the beginning and end of each session of the conference, must register their attendance by signing a special sheet. Students are also expected to write a short written report, which will be checked by one of the lecturers organising the event.
