Ephemeral Museums in Pandemic Era: Bari and the Museo Provinciale that Was There, that Has Been and Has Never Been

The proposal introduces the theme of the communicative resilience of exhibitions during the Pandemic Era. On March 7, 2020, Italy and its museums, as well as the countless exhibitions housed in their rooms, were closed leaving hundreds, perhaps thousands, of works without the public: from the paintings of Raphael (Rome, Scuderie del Quirinale), to the tables of the Griffoni Polyptych assembled after three hundred years (Bologna, Palazzo Fava), to the statues of Canova (Rome, Palazzo Braschi), to the Sant'Antonio by Antonio Vivarini and to the San Felice in the chair by Lorenzo Lotto chased by Bernard Berenson in his Apulian 'pilgrimages' (Bari, Palazzo Ateneo). Indeed, the latter is the exhibition to which particular attention is paid here. The spaces of the ancient Museum have come back to life with the exhibition “Il Museo che non c’è. Arte, collezionismo, gusto antiquario nel Palazzo degli Studi di Bari 1875-1928”. The exhibition involved lenders institutions such as Villa I Tatti - The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, the Central State Archive in Rome, the Pinacoteca of Bari 'Corrado Giaquinto' and several others. The exhibition in Bari was inaugurated on February 28th. After the first five days only the exhibition was closed for the advance of COVID 19 virus. In the 'great hall' - as the main space of the ancient Provincial Museum was called - everything remained suspended and perfectly finished: showcases, exhibitors, paintings, statues, clay and stone art objects. However, there was no longer the possibility of letting people, visitors enter. We said that it would have been wonderful to be said that it would have been wonderful to be able to reopen it at least 'virtually'. And so we did, with an immersive and advanced teaching perspective.

E-Learning in the Linguistic Disciplines Teaching: the Experience of Remote and Full-Time Learning

The period of forced remote learning has deepened university teachers’ and students’ experience in e-learning and developed a number of abilities, including ITC-competence and possession of various e-learning methods. This valuable experience should be used after resuming of full-time or face-to-face (F2F) learning in the universities. The purpose of the article is to determine the most promising areas of using e-learning in the linguistic disciplines teaching based on the analysis of the advanced teaching experience during the pandemic and after the resumption of traditional full-time education. Using the methods of theoretical analysis of the scientific works published within the period February 2020 – February 2021 and empirical study among Russian university teachers and students, the most efficient and promising areas of e-learning in the linguistic disciplines teaching were singled out. These areas include the use of the efficient e-learning methods and creation of lasting online learning communities. At the same time the empirical survey showed one more important area of research, namely, the characteristics of the teacher’s speech in distance education. In the result, the author suggests some ideas to preserve the valuable obtained teaching experience and to use it in both forms of learning: distance and F2F.
