ITALIAN 128: Word and Image from the Middle Ages to Modernity
This course analyzes the major critical motifs of Italian literature, art, and history from the 15th through the 18th centuries including such topics as love, power, faith, reason, and fortune. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, we focus on visual arts and their fertile relations with poetry, prose, theater, and music, so as to explore how their mutual reception and adaptation helped generate new meanings of reality and reshape tradition. All class discussion, reading, and writing will be in Italian. Recommended:
ITALLANG 22A or equivalent (2 years of Italian). This course fulfills the Writing in the Major (WIM) requirement.
