ITLT 42: Sex,Lies and Writing:Boccaccio's Decameron
3.00 Credits
Hofstra University
Semester Hours: 3 Periodically This course offers the opportunity to examine Decameron's narrative strategies in a gendered perspective, emphasizing how the prominent role played by women in the stories becomes instrumental in questioning cultural stereotypes and in destabilizing religious, legal and medical assumptions of medieval society. Discussion will revolve around the notion of sexual identity, the embodiment of sex in the Middle Ages and the rise of realism in 13th- and 14th-century Italian literature. All works are read and discussed in English.

ITLT 50: Writing Women in Early Modern Italy
3.00 Credits
Hofstra University
Semester Hours: 3 Periodically Students are introduced to the classics of early modern Italian literature (Ariosto, Boccaccio, Castiglione, Machiavelli, Tasso et al) under the unifying perspective of how these authors constructed a dialogue about the nature and status of women. With this critical orientation, woman as subject and object of representation emerges as the focus of an intertextual conversation among authors both male and female. Boccaccio's Famous Women is read in conjunction with Fonte's The Worth of Women, the courtier with the courtesan, the recognized masters of pastoral, epic and comedy with lesser known examples by Campiglia and Andreini. Representations of women in painting and sculpture, early modern female artists, and cinematic representations of Franco and Gentileschi are also considered.
