Thinking of Italy as both a European and a Mediterranean country constitutes a unique challenge to our ways of reading the contemporary world. By exploring classic and lesser known Italian works intersecting the national, the regional, and the global, we will question present-day truths related to history, geography, and religion, providing an introduction to the critical methods employed in Italian, European and Middle Eastern Studies.
Taught in English.
