Cross Cultural Communication

Course Description
The aim of the course is to introduce the concepts of communication and culture, and to develop an understanding of communicative processes across cultural boundaries.

Sociology of Italian Culture

Course Description
The aim of the course is to introduce the concept of culture in the sociological and anthropological sense. After clarifying the meaning of the word ‘culture’, other related concepts will be analyzed: values, norms, lifestyles, attitudes, beliefs, stereotypes. Concepts and methods learnt in the first part of the course will be applied to Italian culture to identify its specific features. Italian-ness will be compared with traits of the American, Northern European and Mediterranean cultural heritage.
