Art and knowledge in medieval Southern Italy
AS.010.601 (01)

The seminar examines the intersection of art and science in the region of southern Italy. Different from the situation in central and northern Italy, where the accumulation and distribution of knowledge was controlled by scholasticism and the papal court in Rome, the multicultural identity in southern Italy, created centers of learning more independent from the church. The geographical exposure and trade connections across the Eastern Mediterranean and northern Africa facilitated the import of scientific knowledge available in the Islamic World. We will focus on illuminated manuscripts connected with the medical school of Salerno, the first treatise on falconry authored by Emperor Frederik II, Peter of Eboli’s treatise on the thermal baths of Pozzuoli and his chronicle for Emperor Henry VI, and Hrabanus Maurus’ encyclopedia de natura. Moreover, we will investigate the importance of the first secular university, founded by the highly learned Frederik II, called the ‘predecessor of the anti-Christ’ for the education in the sciences and its ties to production of art works.

The Art, Craft, and Science of Translation
AS.211.354 (01)

This course is an introduction to the growing field of Translation Studies. Broadly speaking, the translation process involves three major phases: (1) ‘understanding’ what someone else has written; (2) exploring the linguistic/cultural tools available (or not) in another language to convey the original meaning; and (3) taking responsibility for one’s translation choices. What does it mean to ‘understand’ a text? Is it ever possible to find an ‘equivalent’ in another language? Can the translation process ever be objective, and what role, if any, does the translator’s voice play? What practical tools are available to facilitate the translation process? Drawing from interdisciplinary theories and approaches to translation, this course will attempt to reflect on these questions, and provide an opportunity for some hands-on translation practice. Language pre-requisite: Completion of Advanced French I (AS210.301), Advanced Italian I (AS210.351), Advanced Spanish I (AS210.311), or instructor permission.

Dante's Journey through the Afterlife
AS.211.479 (01)

Dante's Divine Comedy presents a complete picture of the medieval world-view in all its aspects: physical (the structure of the cosmos), historical (the major actors from Adam to Dante himself) and moral (a complete system of right and wrong). Dante shows how the Christian religion portrayed itself, other religions, the nature of God, humans, angels and devils, and human society. We will explore these topics both from the viewpoint of Dante's own time, and in terms of its relevance to our own societal and cultural concerns.

This course traces the history of Italian cinema from the silent era to the contemporary period, highlighting its main trends and genres, and reflecting on the major transformations modern and contemporary Italian society experienced over the twentieth and twentieth-first centuries.

Italy and Environmental Humanities
AS.214.766 (01)

This seminar examines a variety of literary texts and films, produced in Italy from the post-war period to the contemporary era, from material eco-critical perspectives. While maintaining a focus on Italy, this course addresses broad questions within the field of environmental humanities: what is the Anthropocene and how it has been conceptualized? How is has been framed chronologically? How do we interrogate a text from an ecocritical perspective? What is a non-anthropocentric narrative? What is the task of the eco-scholar? What is the goal of environmentally concerned scholarship? What does it mean to teach ‘ecocritally’? Literary texts include works by Italo Calvino, Carlo Cassola, Paolo Volponi, Anna Maria Ortese, and films by directors Roberto Rossellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Pietro Marcello, and Alice Rohrwacher. Critical and theoretical readings will include Marco Armiero and Marcus Hall’s Nature and History in Modern Italy, Timothy Morton’s Humankind, Serenella Iovino Ecocriticsm and Italy, and Rosi Braidotti’s The Posthuman.

Italian Journeys: Modern and Contemporary Literature
AS.214.363 (01)

How do cinema and literature give expression to the many identities seeking their voices after the long silence imposed by dictatorship? How can literature foster an imagery that reinvents a problematic past and constructs a reasonable future? This course aims to follow Italian politics and society as expressed in major literary, cinematographic and musical works since World War Two. For over seventy years, Italian culture has promoted a common cultural background and developed a new national self-consciousness that fights to emancipate itself from the rigid hierarchies and boastful rhetoric of Fascism to express the complex reality of a modern, eclectic country comprising multiple regions and ethnicities. We will explore topics such as Fascism, the Resistance and the Shoah, politics, class, gender and the representation of minorities, repression and the fight for emancipation, and migration. One major topic will be psychiatry, self-representation and the search for identity. Primary texts include classics of 20th-and 21st-century Italian literature and cinema by Antonio Gramsci, Primo Levi, Natalia Ginzburg, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Italo Calvino, Ignazio Silone, Leonardo Sciascia, Carla Lonzi, Alexander Langer, Elena Ferrante and others. Students wishing to do coursework in Italian for major/minor credit should register for AS.214.363.02.

Black Italy
AS.211.423 (01)

Over the last three decades Italy, historically a country of emigrants—many of whom suffered from discrimination in the societies they joined—became a destination for hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees from various countries, and particularly from Africa. Significant numbers of these immigrants came to Italy as a result of the country’s limited, though violent colonial history; others arrive because Italy is the closest entry-point to Europe. How have these migratory flows challenged Italian society’s sense of itself? How have they transformed the notion of Italian national identity? In recent years, growing numbers of Afro- and Afro-descendant writers, filmmakers, artists and Black activists are responding through their work to pervasive xenophobia and racism while challenging Italy’s self-representation as a ‘White’ country. How are they forcing it to broaden the idea of ‘Italianess’? How do their counternarratives compel Italy to confront its ignored colonial past? And, in what way have Black youth in Italy embraced the #Blacklivesmatter movement? This multimedia course examines representation of blackness and racialized otherness, whiteness, and national identity through literary, film, and visual archival material in an intersectional framework. Examining Italy’s internal, ‘Southern question,’ retracing Italy’s colonial history, and recognizing the experiences of Italians of immigrant origins and those of immigrants themselves, we’ll explore compelling works by writers and filmmakers such as Igiaba Scego, Gagriella Ghermandi, Maza Megniste, Dagmawi Yimer, and others.

Renaissance Witches and Demonology
AS.211.477 (01)

Who were the witches? Why were they persecuted for hundreds of years? Why were women identified as the witches par excellence? How many witches were put to death between 1400 and 1800? What traits did European witch-mythologies share with other societies? After the witch-hunts ended, how did “The Witch” go from being “monstrous” to being “admirable” and even “sexy”? Answers are found in history and anthropology, but also in medicine, theology, literature, folklore, music, and the visual arts, including cinema.
