The Italian South: Literature, Theatre, Cinema
V59.9863 (identical with V30.0863) - Staff - 4 Points - course syllabus

This interdisciplinary course explores the cultural life of the Italian south during the last two centuries. Literary and cinematic figures to be studied might include Giovanni Verga, Leonardo Sciacia, Tomasi di Lampedusa, Vincenzo Consolo, and Vittorio de Seta.
The Mediterranean, a Postcolonial Sea
V42.9165 (identical with G42.9665, V59.9173-001, V77.9165, V57.9195) - Yousefzadeh - 4 Points - course syllabus
Conducted in English
This interdisciplinary course approaches the Mediterranean as a multicultural site that lends itself to questions concerning cultural encounters and crossovers, as well as to the issue of historical memory. The Mediterranean will emerge in our investigation as the substance and the backdrop for 1) a reevaluation of the various narratives of European modernity; 2) an examination of the centrality of colonialism in that modernization process; and finally, 3) an encounter, on the shores of Salento and Sicily, with the realities of southern and eastern immigration into Europe.
