Expanded Course Description
These three courses (ITAL 301, 303, & 305) are designed to empower students as they make the transition from language-based study in first- and second-year Italian, to the study of literary works and other cultural expressions of Italy. Each course presents specific social, cultural, and historical issues through works of literature, and journalistic, cinematic, and artistic materials. Primary attention is given to the development of the analytical and critical skills that are a crucial part of a humanities-based education. At the same time, students continue to improve abilities in speaking, reading, and writing Italian by enriching advanced-level vocabulary, practicing written and oral expression, and improving aural and reading comprehension. All three classes seek to develop students' capacities in Italian, for the integration of humanities content through synthesis, reflection, and critical thinking. These courses thus serve as an effective "bridge" in preparing students for upper-division literature survey courses (ITAL 317-318-319) and further literary and cultural study in the Italian major and/or minor. The principal focus of this course (ITAL 305) is the study of varied artistic expressions (including but not limited to fine arts, photography, film, popular art, and music) with the goal of broadening the student¿s knowledge and understanding of the development of artistic expressions through time. These objectives will be achieved through reading and analyzing essays, journalistic and historical texts, examining and interpreting works of art, and research and discussion of related topics. Students will write essays of literary and visual analysis and/or research papers on specific artists or movements. Note: These "stand-alone" courses may be taken in any order and as they fit the student's interest and schedule, to fulfill requirements for the Italian or Romance Languages majors or minors.
