Department of French and Italian

In this course we will trace the development of national and personal identities in Italy through the study of Italian filmmakers and films from the post-World War II period through today. We will revisit major historical periods, artistic movements, and both film and socio-cultural theories from across the decades to conduct close textual and technical analyses of classic and contemporary masterpieces. Using a variety of approaches to examine concepts and representations of identity, then, we will build understanding of the cultural history that informs our experiences with Italy on screen today.
