ACCF HSET 330 - The Etruscans

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

A survey of the history, culture, and art of the Etruscans. Rising out of the earliest records of humans in Italy, the Etruscans became the dominators of central Italy under the Romans nearly a millenium later. In this celebration of Etruscology, students retrace the growth and thinking of the field from antiquarian quest to today's interdisciplinary approach. Basic principles of historical, archaeological and stylistic analysis are developed. This course addresses Florence's position within a territory that offers stimulating parallels to "History of Tuscany" and the discussions of regionalism in "Italian Style." As such, it offers a place to think about diverse population groups within the peninsula, and about Tuscan identity, indeed supra-regional identity, since a consideration of the Etruscans cannot omit reference to southern Italy and the wider Mediterranean.
