Learning Objectives
The course aims to analyze the cultural encounters between Italy and China, showing their close connection with the historical, social, political, and economic background, both national and international, from ancient times to the present day.
Program
The course will trace the cultural encounters that have taken place between Italy and China from the time of the Roman Empire and the Han dynasty to more recent developments and will highlight their close connection with the historical and social, political and economic evolution of the two countries and the global context. The reading and commentary of direct sources and testimonies will integrate the program. The analysis of the main phases and events, as well as the experiences of emblematic figures, cannot be separated from the knowledge of the concept of Orientalism and the critique of the same concept.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)

Communication skills: students will expound clearly and argumentatively, with mastery of the specific language, the knowledge acquired.
