ITAL 195 - Great Beauty:Ital Lit & Film

Unit(s): 4

This course introduces students to modern Italian culture. Students will become familiar with the social, political, and economic situation that led many Italians to seek a better life by emigrating. To that purpose, students will read works of fiction and historical studies on the topic, view representative films, listen to lectures by guest speakers, and participate in field trips to local Italian American institutions and organizations. In this Freshman Seminar, special emphasis will be placed on building a community of young scholars interested in cultural studies. The course will serve as an incentive for studying the Italian language and doing a minor in Italian Studies.

Restriction: Class restricted to Freshman
