DEPARTMENT OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY
UNIVERSITY OF CASSINO AND SOUTHERN LAZIO
The founding project of the Department of Literature and Philosophy has its raison d’être in the principle of cultural and methodological complementarity between scientific-disciplinary sectors organised in the philological-literary, linguistic, philosophical, historical and artistic-historical macro-areas, from antiquity to the contemporary age.
The design effort of convergence, integration, methodological comparison between the different fields of study and research – disciplines of antiquity (philology, history, literature, archeology), medieval, modern and contemporary history, Italian history, modern European literature and languages, history of art and music, philosophical and communication disciplines – represents the shared framework and the organisational structure of reference.
The orientations, directions, objectives, strategies, lines of action and the internal organisation of the Department descend from this nucleus of ideas, in the implementation of a project oriented (both on the research side, as well as that of teaching and training ) the re-elaboration of previous experiences and the identification of innovative paths, also with the contribution of the most advanced technologies in the design, management, publication and dissemination – also and above all, of teaching – the results and products of the research. Contiguity and coincidence of the fields of investigation, methodological interactions and convergences, dialectical comparison between the different codes of reading applied to the investigated phenomena constitute the Department’s strong point.
