Expanded Course Description
The aim of this course is to give students a broad overview of Italian literature during the 19th and 20th centuries. The course will focus especially on the turbulent process of nation building that lead to the unification of Italy in 1861 and has continued ever since, through the constant shifts and revisions in the discourse of national identity brought about by cataclysmic historical events such as the two world wars, fascism, the economic boom etc. The course will analyze the role that Italian literature played in the drafting and redrafting of a national consciousness. It will also highlight how pre-Unification ideas of 'the Italy to come' relate to the post-Unification reality, through a study of the works produced by authors such as Foscolo, Manzoni, Boito, Marinetti, C. Levi Tomasi di Lampedusa and others. The course will focus on different aspects of Italian cultural production, in order to develop an understanding of the complexity of the process of nation formation in Italy. Another important goal of the course is to improve analytical skills and strengthen oral and written expression.
