ITAS 298 - Italy & the Transnational Experience

Italy has been marked by movement in and out of the country since its unification in 1861. More than 4 million Italians came to the U.S. between 1880-1920. Today in Italy there are over 5 million people from Central Europe, Africa, and other areas. How does a transnational experience of Italy impact one’s relationship with language, identity, culture, and home? What challenges and opportunities arise from transnational movement? This course undertakes an examination of some key contemporary transnational experiences from a sociological, historical, literary and linguistic perspective. The course is conducted in Italian, but many readings will be in English.
