The lectures will have a seminar character, and there will be in-depth studies of the sources and specific bibliographies. Special attention will be paid to the centuries of the modern age, and to the relationship that the Mediterranean builds with other parts of the world, in a perspective of global history. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The teaching objectives are threefold: 1) to acquaint students with the history that characterised the Mediterranean space in the modern age, making them understand the importance of this scenario for European and world history in the 15th-19th centuries. 2) to make them reflect on the idea of unity/multiplicity, and on the concepts of frontier and hybridisation, showing the Mediterranean as a set of 'seas', where at times frontiers are manned and controlled, but at the same time also as a fluid space where a common culture is created from exchanges and contaminations 3) to teach the historiographical traditions related to the history of the Mediterranean in the modern age and at the same time to introduce the types and uses of primary sources used by researchers PREREQUISITES Basic knowledge of European and world history between the 15th and 19th centuries TEACHING METHODS Classes are held in presence. Attendance, although not compulsory, is recommended. For the timetable of lectures, please consult the https://easyacademy.unige.it/portalestudenti//index.php?_lang=it portal.
