Institution:

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Foreign Languages

Description:

The term "Mafia" has become imbued with legend and myth through its widespread representation in popular and fictional narratives. The glamorized image of the mafioso, especially in American films such as The Godfather or Goodfellas, has distorted the true nature and scope of the Mafia. Through a selection of contemporary Italian novels and films, this course will explore the representation of the Mafia in historical, cultural, and gendered perspectives.
