Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Prince": Understanding the Meaning and Legacy of a Masterpiece
AS.211.300 (01)

Who was Niccolò Machiavelli? We often hear the term “Machiavellian” in reference to actors in business or politics, but what does it really mean? What does Machiavelli teach us about the nature and the dynamics of political power? Can Machiavelli’s thought offer insights into today’s politics and fast-changing world? The course aims to answer these questions by addressing three topics. First, we will study Machiavelli’s life and times, particularly the events connected to his production and the context in which he wrote his main writings. We will see how the fifteenth-century Florentine humanism and the massive political changes affecting early modern Europe shaped Machiavelli’s mindset. Second, we will familiarize ourselves with Machiavelli’s thought by reading The Prince and excerpts from Discourses on Livy. Third, we will get acquainted with some of the main trends in the reception of Machiavelli in the 20th and 21st centuries. Special attention will be paid to interpretations of Machiavelli by Antonio Gramsci, Leo Strauss, Isaiah Berlin, John Greville Agard Pocock, Quentin Skinner, and John P. McCormick. We will also pay attention to modern television programs and films that show the width and depth of Machiavelli's legacy.

Critical Ecologies of Literary Modernism
AS.213.607 (01)

Critical Ecologies of Literary Modernism will trace the origins of ecocritical literary modernism. Beginning with Hölderlin and Nietzsche, who most radically identified the source of estrangement from nature in human cognition itself, we will explore how innovations in conceiving human cognition and practice play out ecologically in the work of German modernists Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Kafka, Else Lasker-Schüler, Robert Musil, and Bertoldt Brecht, as well as in the modernist works of Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, William Carlos Williams, T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, Françis Ponge and Albert Camus. Grounded in modern German thought and extending across multiple literary modernisms, we will see that what have been taken as the subjective or aestheticized concerns of modernist writing can be recognized as critical ecologies of human cognition and practice, while exposing modernist anxiety about the technological advances of human habitats, the expanse of urbanization, the reach of human intervention in nature, and the underlying animality within human thinking and perception. These works may also initiate forms of imagined intimacy with nature and non-human life in modernist works.

Founding Mothers: Female Genealogies in Medieval and Renaissance Italian Literature
AS.214.304 (01)

In this course we will explore the problem of the relationship of women to dynastic power in the literature and culture of late medieval and Renaissance in Italy. Beginning from Giovanni Boccaccio’s famously ambivalent portraits of women in the Decameron and his treatise On Famous Women, we will locate women within an early modern system of inherited power and literary representations. We will then move to study a series of genealogically motivated chivalric poems (such as Orlando innamorato, Orlando furioso, Floridoro, Gerusalemme liberata) which propose a number of roles for women: warriors, queens, saints, monsters, saviors, poets, founders. These texts return again and again to the key role of women in establishing and maintaining dynastic continuity within noble families, but also to the dangers they pose to dynastic stability. We will try to understand how these literary texts work within the social and political context of the Italian city- states of this period. We will also study the involvement of women in the production and circulation of literary texts, focussing on notable patrons of the arts like Isabella d'Este and Lucrezia Borgia, and on important poets like Vittoria Colonna.

Ugly Beasts, Talking Monkeys: The Medieval Animal
AS.214.422 (01)

This seminar explores the boundaries between humans and animals in the medieval world and beyond. Reading literary texts such as Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron, Moderata Fonte’s Floridoro, Luigi Pulci’s Morgante and medical texts such as Girolamo Fracastoro’s On Contagion, we will trace the formation of distinctions between species. The categories we will use to investigate the distinctions between animals and humans include metamorphosis, contagion, education, taxonomy, subjugation, hunting, representation, anthropomorphism and zoomorphism, wilderness, misogyny, and promiscuity. To probe these categories and distinctions, we will make use of a series of critical approaches, from critical animal studies to posthumanism, within the disciplinary specificity of Medieval Studies.

Elena Ferrante and her Brilliant Friends: Contemporary Italian Women Writers
AS.214.434 (01)

Elena Ferrante is Italy’s most acclaimed contemporary novelist, although her true identity remains unconfirmed. Having been translated into and published in 45 languages, with over 15 million copies sold worldwide, her ‘Neapolitan Quartet’ triggered what has been called ‘Ferrante Fever.’ Through reading and discussion of Ferrante’s works (novels, letters, and a fairytale) and their screen adaptations— the HBO TV series My Brilliant Friend and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter (2022) —we shall discover the reasons behind this global, literary phenomenon while exploring themes such as gender, memory, trauma, women’s participation in, or exclusion from, history, and the internal violence of a rapidly changing society. In addition to Ferrante’s works, we shall also read Anna Maria Ortese, Elsa Morante, and Fabrizia Ramondino to understand the influence of women writers from previous generations on Ferrante’s work. This class is taught in English. Additional discussion sessions in Italian will be offered.

Italian Journeys: An Other Story
AS.214.363 (01)

What does it mean to be “other,” and how can reading about experiences of otherness affect our understanding of historical moments? In this interdisciplinary survey of contemporary Italian literature, students will read through the lens of “the other” in order to highlight both the milieu of lived experiences (often lived by the authors themselves) outside of sociocultural ideals, and the role they play within modern Italian canon. Combining gender studies, animal studies, posthumanism, and other theoretical frameworks, students will examine works from authors such as Sibilla Aleramo, Carlo Levi, Elena Ferrante, Igiaba Scego, and directors Vittorio De Sica, and Alice Rohrwacher. Taught in English—students wishing to do coursework in Italian should register for AS.214.363 (02).

AS.214.610 (01)

This course is an exploration of the notions of the human that emerge when interrogating pre-modern Italian literary constructions of nonhuman entities (water, earth, flora, fauna, objects, buildings, cities, automata, demons, angels, gods, and God). We will read work by authors such as Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Pico, Alberti, Leonardo, Sannazaro, Baldi, and Della Porta, as well as parts of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, and selections from bestiaries, herbaria, and books of emblems. Accompanying these readings are recent studies in critical theory on posthumanism and transhumanism, animal studies, ecocriticism, and phenomenology.
