Presentation

The main topics of the doctoral course are the following:

• genesis of the evolution of settlements and cities;
• dynamics of occupation of territories and cultural and commercial interaction between different peoples;
• references to social complexity and ideologies (theological, philosophical, political, legal reflection on institutions, mobility of social structures); symbolic relationships between objects of memory - events, understood as processes of construction and reconstruction of "memory", which call into question the relationship between memory and history;
• literary or philosophical texts, or currents of thought, relevant from the perspective of intellectual historyand intercultural dialogue.

The PhD program in "History and Archaeology. Studies on Heritage, Memory and Culture" includes several main areas such as
anthropology, archaeology, institutions and political thought, orientalism, history and other cultural intersections - which unfold
along a chronological span extending from prehistory to the contemporary age, according to an interdisciplinary dimension that
sees the different methodologies and disciplinary specificities operate in a joint and transversal way. The PhD program aims to
train scholars capable of holding highly qualified roles in universities, in highly qualified scientific and cultural institutions, in the
private sector, in the conservation, protection and enhancement of the territory and its historical-artistic and archaeological
heritage , both in the public and private sectors, through the processing and interpretation of historical, archaeological,
documentary and material sources, historical-sociological reconstruction, the creation of databases, and the use of 3D graphic
tools.
