ITL 390L The Question of Italian Romanticism: Foscolo, Manzoni, Leopardi The course will centered on the so called Three Crowns of Italian Romanticism, in order to show how ambiguous and unreliable these categories are.

Not only Romanticism is a difficult category to define, but the Italian version of it is even more arduous as the study of these three writers with their diversity will prove. They will be studied in their own right, but through their diversity we will explore the complex issue of Italian Romanticism in order to try to understand the absence in European and American criticism of a discourse on Italian Romanticism. We will thus touch upon the discourses of national identity, neo-classicism and the construction of the myth of Italy by foreign writers. We will briefly discuss the major role played by Madame De Stael’s view of Italy in her famous novel Corinne, some manifestosof Italian Romanticism, and the ideas expressed in F.

Schiller's Naive and Sentimental Poetry, in order to understand the long debate between Classicists and Romantics, 'ancients' and 'moderns.' These discussions will be propaedeutic to the reading of our authors, Ugo Foscolo, Giacomo Leopardi and Alessandro Manzoni. The social aspect of Italian Romanticism will also be discussed in the light of the historical movement Risorgimento.

Vincenzo Bellini and Giuseppi Verdi’s operas will be studied as relevant contributions in the process of Italian unification. GRADING POLICY: The final grade will be determined by class participation-discussion, short response essays, one oral report (40%) and one final paper of 15 to 20 pages (60%). PRIMARY TEXTS: Joseph Luzzi, Romantic Europe and the Ghost of Italy Ugo Foscolo, Le ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis, “Dei sepolcri,” alcuni sonetti Giacomo Leopardi, Operette morali, Canti, Pensieri, Zibaldone (a selection) Alessandro Manzoni, I promessi sposi, Lettera sul Romanticism, few examples of poetry.

CTI 375/ITC 349 Italian Masterpieces Fall 2016 Intructor: Daniela Bini Carter; Office Hours in HRH 3.112C: Th 3:30-6:00 & by appointment; office phone: 512/471-5995; home: 512/477-8649 From Michelangelo’s spectacular paintings of the Sistine Chapel and Bernini’s moving sculpture of Apollo and Daphne, to the intense music of Puccini’s Tosca and the fantastic imagination of Fellini’s La dolce vita, Italy has given the world an unparalleled abundance of masterpieces in all the arts. This course will examine some of them in details touching on painting, sculpture, architecture, opera and cinema.

Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, Caravaggio’s provocative religious paintings, Renato Guttuso’s scenes of Sicily, Lorenzo Bernini’s “Apollo and Daphne” and “The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa,” are only a few of the visual treasures we will study. We will sample the greatest Italian poetry of Giacomo Leopardi’s and Nobel Laureate Eugenio Montale; narrative with novels by Italo Svevo and Italo Calvino; and theater with plays of Luigi Pirandello (another Nobel prize winner who revolutionized the theater in the 20 th century). Since the most popular art form in the 19 th century Italy was opera, we shall study selected masterpieces by Italy’s two most renowned opera composers: Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini. The course will conclude with the films La dolce vita and 8 and a half by Federico Fellini. The aim of the course is not only to familiarize students with the richness of Italian culture, but also to inspire them to continue exploring it.

COURSE DESCRIPTION Sicily has always occupied a priviledged place in the Italian literary and cinematic imagination. While such writers as Pirandello, Sciascia, and Verga have created what can legitimately be called a distinctly Sicilian category of Italian literature, such filmmakers as Visconti, Rosi, Tornatore, Giordana have been drawn to the island as a space for cinematic experimentation and artistic self-discovery.

From Visconti's 1948 neorealist masterpiece La terra trema to Tornatore's 1988 Oscar-winning Cinema Paradiso, from Verga's late nineteenth century short stories to Sciascia's Mafia-based thrillers, Sicily has become both a mythic space of the mind, as well as a signifier, in extremis for its own, and the rest of Italy's, social, political, and historical concerns. The course will involve close analysis of selected novels, short stories, and films with specific focus on such issues as unification history, the Mafia, and social/sexual mores. Attendance at the screenings is required. This course will be taught in Italian. There will be four short papers (2-3 pages) to be written in Italian, a midterm and a final. Since the course will be conducted as a seminar, a great deal of emphasis will be placed on active class participation. The final grade will be computed as follows: Papers: 40%; Midterm: 20%; Final: 30%; Class Participation: 10% This course carries the Global Cultures flag.

Global Cultures courses are designed to increase your familiarity with cultural groups outside the United States. You should therefore expect a substantial portion of your grade to come from assignments covering the practices, beliefs, and histories of at least one non-U.S. Cultural group, past or present.

Selections of poetry, prose and drama from the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Romanticism, modern and contemporary periods will be examined in class from the language as well as the literary perspectives. We will try to point out basic characteristics and changes in language, themes, and style throughout the centuries. Given the fact that most of the literature we know from the past was written by male writers, we will focus on the representations of woman, beginning with the idealized woman-angel of the Middle Ages, and, whenever possible, confront it with those made by women writers. Authors represented in this course include: Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca, Giovanni Boccaccio, Vittoria Colonna, Giacomo Leopardi, Luigi Pirandello, Elsa Morante, Anna Maria Ortese, Natalia Ginzburg, Dacia Maraini, Italo Calvino, Eugenio Montale. By the end of this course, you will learn of some of the most important cultural issues, literary trends, and social discourses in Italy, from the Middle Ages to the present.

You will also lay the foundations for literary analysis and criticism in Italian. Install Bmw Tis Software. SourceURL:file://localhost/Users/danielabini/Desktop/%20My%20Courses/390L%20Sicily/390L%20Writing%20and%20Filming%20Sicily2011-1.doc Sicily has always occupied a privileged place in the Italian literary and cinematic imagination.

While such writers as Pirandello, Sciascia, and Verga have created what can legitimately be called a distinctly Sicilian category of Italian literature, such filmmakers as Visconti, Rosi, Tornatore have been drawn to the island as a space for cinematic experimentation and artistic self-discovery. From Visconti's 1948 neorealist masterpiece La terra trema to Tornatore's 1988 Oscar-winning Cinema Paradiso, from Verga's late nineteenth century short stories to Sciascia's Mafia-based thrillers, Sicily has become both a mythic space of the mind, as well as a signifier, in extremis for its own, and the rest of Italy's, social, political, and historical problems. What Edward Said wrote in his Orientalism about the wrong assumptions the West made regarding Eastern cultures, can also be applied to the perception many north Italians have of Sicily. Recently the development of Mediterranean studies and Franco Cassano’s Il pensiero meridiano have began a revaluation of the south and of the contributions that it can offer to a western culture too much concerned with production, velocity, progress. The course will involve close analysis of selected novels, short stories, and films with specific focus on such issues as unification history, the Mafia, and social/sexual mores. Attendance at the screenings is required.

This course will be taught in Italian. Sicily Through Literature and Cinema INSTRUCTOR: Prof.

Daniela Bini This course will be taught in Italian. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Sicily with its rich history and culture, but also with her serious problems can be considered, as Leonardo Sciascia noted, a microcosm of Italy, where the problems that affect the country are magnified on the island. The course will examine the richness and complexity of the island culture through the works of some major Sicilian writers, such as Leonardo Sciascia, Luigi Pirandello, Giovanni Verga, Elio Vittorini and Vitaliano Brancati.

We will compare the picture that these Sicilian writers give us of the island with that created by non Sicilian filmmakers (Luchino Visconti, Gianni Amelio, Pietro Germi, Marco Tullio Giordana, the Taviani brothers) who have been drawn to the island as a space for cinematic experimentation and artistic self-discovery. The course will involve close analysis of selected novels, short stories, and films with specific focus on such issues as unification history, the Mafia, and social/sexual mores. Attendance at the screenings is required. There will be few short response papers to be written in Italian, pop quizzes, and two exams. Since the course will be conducted as a seminar, a great deal of emphasis will be placed on active class participation. The final grade will be computed as follows: Papers: 40%; Quizzes and Exams: 45%; Class Participation: 15%.

A molecular multigene analysis (ITS, 18S and 28S nrLSU ribosomal DNA, tef1, rpb2) was used to support the proposition of three new genera of clitocyboid fungi. Leucocybe is proposed to accommodate the clade formed by Clitocybe connata and C. Clitocybe inornata is invested as type species of Atractosporocybe, while the new genus, Rhizocybe, is proposed for the former species of section Vernae of Clitocybe, C.

Vermicularis, C. Pruinosa and C.

The three lineages are related to the families Lyophyllaceae and Entolomataceae and independent from the Clitocybeae clade. Morphologically Rhizocybe is characterized by the presence of conspicuous rhizomorphs, while Atractosporocybe presents long fusiform spores. Leucocybe includes two whitish species in the former section Candicantes of Clitocybe, but no relevant shared characteristic feature was detected. Other whitish clitocyboid species, such as C. Phyllophila (= C.

Cerussata), C. Rivulosa, and Singerocybe hydrogramma, are shown to be genetically related to the core lineage of the Clitocybeae.
