COLT 1811R: Modern Identities and the Mediterranean
1.00 Credits
Brown University
This course explores the cultural, political, and social definitions of nationhood primarily focusing on the literature of Italy and Greece but also on non-native works about the two countries. The course will begin with an examination of the definitions of Mediterranean identity as they emerged in the region. What is the symbolic significance of defining the nation as Mediterranean (as opposed to European)? It will then proceed to explore the Greek/Italian literary and historical heritage as defined by non-native writers: the importance of Greco-Roman mythology in the works of Freud and Lacan, the fascination of the Romantics with Greece and Italy etc. Finally, the course will examine the ways in which Greek and Italian writers, poets, and filmmakers adopted or reacted to these non-native appropriations in the process of re-defining their own modern identity. Primarily for seniors and graduate students.
