Latino: forme e circolazione nella pars Orientis dell’Impero (Federica Web Learning)

Se per l’Occidente mancano testimonianze che non siano quelle indirette di trattazioni specifiche come l’Institutio oratoria di Quintiliano, l’Oriente ha restituito una serie di testimoni diretti delle forme dell’insegnamento del latino,tra I a.C. e VI d.C.: favorita fondamentalmente dall’occupazione militare e dai bisogni dell’amministrazione per tutta la prima età imperiale, nelle province eccentriche dell’Impero, la circolazione del latino venne ulteriormente incentivata da una politica che lo identificava con la lingua dell’amministrazione (e del diritto) a partire dal III secolo. Continuo, infatti, è il contatto dei latinofoni con allofoni che, spesso, si misero alla prova con l’apprendimento della lingua di Roma.

L’analisi delle testimonianze dirette della circolazione della lingua e della letteratura latina nella pars Orientis dell’Impero - sostanzialmente papiri, frammenti da volumina o codices di pergamena, tavolette ed ostraka - imporrà una riflessione, da un lato, su fenomeni complessi quali quello del bilinguismo (latino-greco) e della diglossia e, dall’altro, sulle forme in cui il latino venne percepito ed insegnato come Lingua2 tra Antichità e Tarda Antichità.

Writing and Disseminating Grey Literature (Coursera)

If you are a researcher, academic, student, development sector professional or a practitioner who is keen to reach the research-based knowledge you have created to a wider audience, this course is for you. Vast amounts of knowledge are produced by educational and research institutions through rigorous research and fieldwork. Yet, there is a dearth of access to this knowledge among non-academic communities (which includes practitioners, policymakers, and citizens) due to the language used. Researchers can bring visibility to grey literature if they engage with alternate public writing forms.

Letteratura latina, dalle origini all'età augustea (edX)

Una panoramica dei generi letterari tra repubblica e primo impero. La nascita e lo sviluppo della letteratura latina furono profondamente condizionati da un lato dall'influenza della cultura greca con la quale i Romani entrarono in contatto a partire dal II sec. a. C. soprattutto per la loro politica espansionistica nel Mediterraneo e poi in Oriente; dall'altro dalle pressioni esercitate dal potere politico che richiedeva al cittadino di prestare la propria attività innanzitutto a favore della res publica.

Letteratura latina 2 - L’idea dell’Altro in età imperiale (Federica Web Learning)

Nella letteratura latina affiorano costantemente l'idea della identità romana, il rapporto con il diverso, il relazionarsi con popoli altri da sé: basti pensare a Terenzio che nasce in Africa o a Cecilio Stazio, commediografo di origine gallica solo per citarne alcuni. Il problema si accentua in età tardoantica, quel periodo che si fa partire dal III sec. d. C. e che alcuni addirittura anticipano alla fine del II.
