  • ITALIAN 215: Humanism,Hermeticism,Hieroglyphs,Heretics:Introduction to Italian Renaissance Literature and Thought

    4.00 Credits
    Bard College

    Many of the most appealing concepts born of the Italian Renaissance-reappropriation of Latin and Greek learning; belief in divine madness; essential cosmic harmony underlying literary and figurative expression, architecture, and mathematical formulas-were considered increasingly heretical after the Office of the Inquisition was created in 1542. Nevertheless, these concepts built the foundation of European-wide intellectual exchange. This course introduces students to the repertoire of basic cultural referents with which the early modern individual viewed knowledge and perceived history (as well as the present). Among the authors studied are Alberti, Dante, Ficino, Petrarch,Machiavelli, Pico della Mirandola, Landino, Ortensio Lando, Tasso, Sansovino, Manuzio, Doni, and Garzoni.

  • ITALIAN 220: Forbidden Books,Prohibited Knowledge

    4.00 Credits
    Bard College

    Human Rights Restrictions on speech or the access to knowledge are most often assumed to derive from some basic act of manipulation or corrupt motivation. But is censorship decreed by political or intellectual authorities ever legitimate? And is there knowledge meant to remain beyond human reach or revealed only to a special few? This course explores the historical faces of forbiddenness and the subversions of it from antiquity to the 18th century through the works of Plato, Dante, Petrarch, Galileo, Descartes, Montaigne, Marlowe, Milton, Defoe, and Rousseau. Students also consider the rise of private and public societies in the early modern period as they relate to the idea of accessing, circumscribing, and censoring different bodies of knowledge. The course is conducted in English.
