Learning outcomes
Knowledge

At the end of the course the student will have acquired knowledge of the labour history in Italy in the contemporary age and of the basic problems related to labour law and the welfare state.

Assessment criteria of knowledge

Assessment of knowledge will be tested in itinere through discussions around the texts.

Teaching methods

The course will be held in seminar form, following the model of last year: the participants will be invited to read texts, according to the indications provided from week to week, and then discuss them together in the classroom. The group's comparison with the written page, be it contemporary or subsequent historiographic reflection, will serve as a deepening and stimulus for independent reading paths.

Syllabus

The history of labour in the contemporary age is also a history of the relations between public powers, law and the "social question" represented by the worlds of labour and their trade union and political "spokesmen". The course will retrace the evolution of work in Italy from Unification to the present day, with constant attention to economic and social changes, but accompanying them with a reflection on the normative dimension, both within the discipline of labour law and linked to the formation of the welfare state.
