This course focuses on the film aesthetic production of a century of national cinema in it's social and cultural contexts. It investigates cityscapes and sound-scapes, follows city walkers on their journeys through the ruins of bombed out postwar cities, the monumental sites of millennial history, the urban and industrial expansion and peripheries of the economic miracle of the 1960's, finally crossing into the global metropolis of late capitalism with its glittering splendors and pathologies.

Taught primarily in Italian. Selections from a variety of literary texts; attention to methods of literary study and critical perspectives. Prerequisite: intermediate-level proficiency or consent of instructor. Not suitable for native speakers. (Gen.Ed. AL)

Course taught in Italian: Readings and discussions will be in Italian; written assignments for most students will be in English, as this course satisfies the departmental jr. year writing requirement. Students examine various genres of Italian cultural expression, including poetry, song, the short story, theater, cinema, the novel, and, to a limited extent, art history. Emphasis is placed on developing and refining students' written critical responses to the objects of study. Each year the thematic content of the course will vary.
