contribution of other fields (e.g., ICTs).
It is a kind of training that no ordinary
university course is able to provide, in
particular due to the presence of speakers
with different background and expertise.
The students will therefore acquire skills that
will allow them to critically consider from
different points of view the various paradigm
changes in political representation.

Teaching methodologies
The course will be conducted by lecturers
of different backgrounds, thus enabling
participants to look at the subject matter
from an interdisciplinary perspective. The
course will be articulated in lectures, working
groups, case studies as well as meetings
with experts.
Unless otherwise indicated, the lessons will
be held in Italian. An advanced knowledge
of the Italian language is therefore required.
