ITAL 265 - The Mafiological Imagination

Unit(s): 4

This course will deepen students’ knowledge of Italian culture and history as well as their understanding of the Mafia’s influence on both the American and Italian cultural imaginaries. Through the analysis of literary texts, and their cinematic adaptations, students will question what fundamental role these representations of the Mafia fulfill. This course fulfills the C1 Literature core requirement, and is part of an effort to propose a minor in Italian in the near future.
