	Objectives
	THE GENERAL LEARNING OUTCOMES IS TO PROVIDE CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE ON THE BIRTH OF ICONOLOGICAL STUDIES IN EUROPE AND THEIR RECEPTION IN ITALY, IDENTIFYING THE MEANING AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE EXAMINATION OF THE THOUGHT OF THE FOUNDERS (WARBURG, SAXL, CASSIRER, PANOFSKY, GOMBRICH) AND TO ORIENT THE STUDENTS' TRAINING ON THE IMPORTANCE OF LITERARY THEMES FOR THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF ARTISTIC AND SYMBOLIC REPRESENTATIONS OVER THE CENTURIES, IN THE ITALIAN AND EUROPEAN CONTEXT. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENT: - WILL LEARN THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE DISCIPLINE OF ICONOLOGY (WARBURG, PANOFSKY, CASSIRER, SAXL, GOMBRICH); - WILL ACQUIRE THE FUNDAMENTAL CRITICAL TOOLS AND METHODS FOR ICONOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION AND HISTORICAL-ICONOGRAPHIC CONTEXTUALISATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HISTORIOGRAPHIC THOUGHT; - WILL UNDERSTAND THE INTERDISCIPLINARY RELATIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT FIELDS OF STUDY AND THE INTERRELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LITERARY TEXTS AND PICTORIAL PRODUCTION. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: - THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO DEAL WITH IN-DEPTH COURSES IN ART HISTORY AND BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT THE ACQUIRED CONTENTS CONTEXTUALISING THEM WITH COHERENCE AND OBSERVATION SKILLS. MAKING JUDGMENTS: - THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE ORIGIN OF THE ICONOGRAPHIES AND RELATE THEM TO THE CULTURAL CONTEXTS THEY BELONG TO. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD CONVERSATIONS ON ICONOLOGICAL AND ICONOGRAPHIC THEMES WITH APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY LEARNING SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND COMPLEX FIGURATIVE COMPOSITIONS AND TEXTS, IDENTIFYING BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES.
