ITALLIT 142: Literature and the City

How has the relationship between man and the city changed since the advent of industrialization? How did men and women in the 20th century relate to the Modern City? The recent rise of ecocriticism suggests a growing interest in the urban environment and its relationship to literature. From Futurism to Neorealism, from Magic Realism to Postmodernism, sources range from fiction to poetry to the graphic novel and span over the course of the 20th century to the present day (D'Annunzio, Marinetti, Merini, Buzzati, Calvino).

We will explore the connections made by controversial writer and director Pier Paolo Pasolini between poetry, politics, film, and sexuality. We will discuss Pasolini's much-contested public role, which caused him to be persecuted by political and artistic opponents, and consider different theories concerning his mysterious murder in 1975. We will compare him to contemporaries, such as Fellini and Antonioni.
