  • ITAS 212: Italian Women Directors:The Female Authorial Voice in Italian Cinema

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Laviosa This course examines the films of a number of major Italian women directors across two artistic generations: Cavani and Wertmüller from the 1960s to the 1990s; Archibugi, Comencini and others in the 1990s. Neither fascist cinema nor neorealism fostered female talents, so it was only with the emergence of feminism and the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s that a space for female voices in Italian cinema was created. The course will explore how women directors give form to their directorial signatures in film, focusing on their films' formal features and narrative themes in the light of their sociohistorical contex t.

  • ITAS 242: Postmodern Italian Cinema and Television

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Viano NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. Ever since media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi exemplified the dangers of media fascism to the world, studying the cinema and television of Italy's Second Republic (1992 onwards) offers rewards that extend well beyond Italian Studies. Against the background of Italy's neoconservative television programming, this course explores both mainstream and art cinema production around the dawn of the third millennium. From sex comedy to intellectual cinema; from fantastic re-visitation of the accursed decades of the 1960s and 1970s to neorealist epigones; from a typically underrated woman's film on the Sicilian Mafia to a man's anatomy of melancholy turned hypnotic cinema; the films in this course introduce students to the postmodern condition in Italy, and in the Western world, while mapping paths of conformity and resistan ce. Students may register for eitheITAS 242 or CAMS 224 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: CAMS 101 and CAMS 135/ARTS 165, CAMS 138/ARTS 108 or CAMS 139/ARTS 109.
