Storia del Diritto Romano (Federica Web Learning)

Il corso di storia del diritto romano, strutturato cronologicamente, si propone di offrire un efficace strumento per la comprensione delle nozioni fondamentali della storia giuridica, sociale, politica, costituzionale di Roma antica, dalle origini della civitas alla Codificazione giustinianea. L’analisi è tesa ad una corretta impostazione dell’approccio allo studio dei fenomeni antichi e del loro impatto anche sull’attualità, costituendo un viaggio lungo circa 1400 anni attraverso lo svolgersi dell’esperienza istituzionale e giuridica romana.

Il fuoco è su Roma antica, che si trasforma da piccolo villaggio a capitale di un grande impero mondiale, attraverso le forme costituzionali della monarchia, della repubblica, del principato e del dominato, fino all’esperienza, peculiarissima, dell’età Giustinianea con le sue compilazioni, si pensi al Corpus iuris civilis.
Nel corso delle lezioni si analizzeranno le strutture costituzionali, politiche e amministrative romane, si studieranno i principali provvedimenti normativi, le fonti del diritto (di produzione e di cognizione), si seguirà l’evolversi del pensiero e il tramandarsi del sapere giuridico attraverso i secoli, si vedrà come si amministrava la giustizia e come si svolgevano i processi criminali a Roma.

Reimagining Blackness and Architecture (Coursera)

Architecture structures our daily lives. It shapes our homes, streets, neighborhoods, cities and more. But who gets to create and occupy these spaces? In the United States, a long history of anti-Black racism has created spatial inequalities that are built into the physical environment and erased the stories of Black architects and communities. Reimagining Blackness and Architecture explores the relationship between architecture and Blackness as an identity and a lived experience.
