Exactly 150 years ago, on 14 September 1867, the first volume of Karl Marx’s Capital was published. Capital remains one of the most influential books in world history. The International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam possesses a unique first edition, containing Marx’s own handwritten corrections and marginals. This edition has now been fully digitized, and has been made available to the general public through the Institute’s website.

International colloquium in Paris — May 2018

After the colloquium held for the 150-year anniversary of 1848 and its famous Revolutions, organized by the French « Société de 1848 » and which was a historiographic landmark, it seemed important, twenty years later, to shed a new light on this major event of the Nineteenth Century.

Obiettivi: Il Master si propone di rinnovare e diffondere procedure, metodi e pratiche conoscitive, progettuali e gestionali nel campo del patrimonio industriale in un quadro di cooperazione tra gli operatori economici, culturali e i diversi attori istituzionali. Intende formare architetti indirizzati alla progettazione e al recupero di edifici industriali, archivisti d’impresa, storici dell’industria, progettisti e allestitori museali.

Direttore: Giovanni Luigi Fontana

Livello: 2
