Class Description:: "Italy is made, now it is time to make the Italians."
It is since the conclusion of Italy's unification process at the end of the 19th century that this mantra has been haunting Italian political, cultural, and social life. Are Italians doomed to search incessantly for a true national style? Will they always be in the need of an extreme makeover? Through a must-read and must-watch Italian literature and cinema, this course will scrutinize the role that the arts played and play in Italy's quest for identity. Class discussion will move along two axes: it will investigate literature and media as devices that regulate the existence of a nation, and it will analyze how literary and cinematic texts can also afford alternative modes of being and belonging.
(Taught in Italian.)
