To explore and to understand the factors that shaped the relationship between these two areas of the world.
Acquisition of knowledge and key competences to critically explore and understand the factors that shaped the relationship between these two areas of the world.
No prerequisite is required.
The course is meant to supply critical and theoretical instruments for the understanding of the relationship between “East and the West”, in order to interpret its history. After
thirty years from the publication of Orientalism of E. Said, the area studies devoted to Asian territories need a deep methodological re-assessment.
