Contribution of the course to the overall degree programme goals
To this end we will analyze the relationship between the arts and politics from the Homeric poem to today's consumer music, focusing on the different forms of representation of the mission of man between the age of "discipline" and "confessionalization" and age of rights, thus using the main media of historical times in question: literature, theater, music, visual arts. The metamorphoses of the symbols and the themes of the duties, the rights and the imperatives of politics and faith occurred within the different cultural objects vehicles of social communication will allow to warn and to signal some of the salient passages crossed by the European culture during its tiring transit towards 'our' modernity
