Content
In 2019-2020, the seminar is led by Professor Agnès Guiderdoni. This year, the seminar will be devoted to the notion of Baroque and will study its contemporary extensions, that is the neo-baroque. Based on a corpus of primary texts and secondary literature, we will question the development of the notion itself in the 20th century, its implicit foundations, the controversies it gave rise to, and the mutations it underwent in the forn of the neo-baroque.

The seminar is led every other year by one of its two lecturers: in 2018-2019, by Professor Zanone and, in 2019-2020, by Professor Guiderdoni. Most of the sessions take place at the beginning of the term and, after an introduction to the subject, are designed to develop various concepts of problematisation. Students are then encouraged to work on their own; there are two sessions to oversee the progress and subsequent completion of this work.
