This course, which is conducted in Italian and includes significant practice in grammar, vocabulary building, and composition, aims to foster reflection about the relationship among languages, literatures, and identities in Italy. This fall the focus will be on globalization in Italy. Together we will read sections of literary and cultural texts, (including films and television) reflecting on topics including soccer, food, the label “made in Italy,” ecotourism, immigration, and the anti-globalization movement.
