  • ITAL 220: The Splendor of Rome in Literature & Film

    3.00 Credits
    Catholic University of America

    Famous twins Romulus and Remus did not know perhaps how important the city they were designing on the hills surrounding the Tiber River was going to be in world history! These two brothers, however important, were merely the first two artists who shaped one of the most beautiful, complex, and recounted cities in the world: Rome! Rome, or the Eternal City, as it is often referred to, incorporates millennia of history of Italian culture. It is the physical embodiment of a complex identity such as the Italian. It is the point of reference for many travelers who have journeyed there like British poets Shelley, Keats, and American writers like James and Williams. Indeed, since the birth of this spectacular city in 753 b.c. Italian and foreign writers have relentlessly tried to shape the beauty and the historical import of Rome in poetry, in music, in the visual arts, and cinema. During this virtual walk through Rome¿s (particularly modern) history, students will encounter works revealing the singular allure of the space of the city that is twice a capital. As history proceeds, transformations in society and in aesthetic visualizations take place. From the work of world-renown directors Federico Fellini and Vittorio De Sica to that of writers Alberto Moravia and Amara Lakhous, students will enjoy and appreciate great examples of fiction. Taught in English. Satisfies humanities, literature, and Italian Studies Minor requirements.

  • ITAL 221: Private Voices, Public Spaces

    3.00 Credits
    Catholic University of America

    This three-credit course is designed particularly, but not exclusively, for undergraduate students interested in the humanities. It focuses on the interdisciplinary study of the Italian culture and society through literature, visual arts, archeology and architecture. The course program is designed to theoretically dissect the strata of Rome and reflect on different historical periods through the voices of Italian artists in literary fiction and examine public spaces designed according to academic criteria versus originality, creativity, and exuberance as leading factors in the creation of artistic works. What makes Italian art so unique is something students will enjoy and discover during this journey. Participants will attend lectures take a chance at writing, and debate the artistic/literary versus the architectural/academic depiction of reality. Taught in translation. It satisfies humanities requirements and Italian Studies Minor requirements at CUA. This is a Summer Abroad Program not taught on-campus.

  • ITAL 226: Fascism, Racism, and War in Italian Literature

    3.00 Credits
    Catholic University of America

    This course offers an analysis of Italy and fascism, the rise of dictator Benito Mussolini to a public myth, and literature of war and resistance. The course is composed of three segments each dealing respectively with history and literature on fascism, racial intolerance, and Second World War. In this course, our goal is to demonstrate how connected these three topics were in Italian society and, hopefully, try to dismantle some stereotypes about Italian culture. By braiding facts and fiction, history and literature, students will learn and examine representations of Italian twentieth-century complex events. By dismantling ¿thanks to recent history studies by Pavone, Battini, Sarfatti among others¿the notion that Mussolini began his racial politics only at Hitler¿s insistence; showing how strong was the resistance to the regime as we will read in the novels by Italo Calvino and Beppe Fenoglio; having our students read Primo Levi¿s reflections on his experience in the Auschwitz Lager, we want to propose an image of Italy whose cultural ramifications partly lead to today¿s political and intellectual situation. Taught in English. Satisfies requirements for Italian Studies Minor, humanities, and literature.
