The main objective of the course is to provide students with the critical tools for understanding the main issues in the history of the twentieth century, focusing in particular on the one relating to youth cultures between the years of the miracle and the end of the first republic.

The general part will be dedicated to the analysis of the central themes of the history of the twentieth century, starting from the modernization following the great war up to the reformulation of new political equilibriums and new social arrangements following the fall of the Berlin wall and the consequent end of the "short century" ". The monographic part will instead be dedicated to an in-depth study of the historiographical categories relating to youth cultures from the eocnomic miracle to the 1980s, mainly from an Italian perspective, but with a look also at the various international expressions.

- Knowledge and understanding: the student acquires the knowledge of the fundamental issues of the history of the twentieth century, and of the main historiographical interpretations

- Applying knowledge and understanding: The student acquires the ability to interpret historical sources and apply them to a given historiographical framework

- Making judgments: the student acquires critical skills that enable him to understand and evaluate in an autonomous way the stoirographic nodes and the texts that analyze them

- Communication skills: the student understands and knows how to use the specialized language of the discipline.
