According to the eminent critic John Freccero "Understanding in the Inferno is a process that might characterized as hyperbolic doubt systematically applied to the values of contemporary society." This may explain the mm strong revival of interest in the poem that we have witnessed of late. In this course we will read and discuss in detail the M em o as well as important "minor" works leading up to the Divine Comedy including the Vita nuova (New Life), the Cotryifio (The Banquet), and the De vulgari eloquentia (On vernacular eloquence). The course, which satisfies the literal requirement, will be offered in English. Undergraduate students of Italian at all levels are welcome.

Baranski* (ROIT 450IL - Lab 3:30-5:30 Th) N o tr ^ This course explores the construction and development of the Italian cinematic realist tradition from the silent era to the the early 1970s, although its prim ary focus is on the period 1934-1966, which stretches from the appearance of Blasetd’s openly fascist 'historical' reconstruction, "La vecchia guardia", to Pasolini's 'eccentric' exercise in left-wing commitment, "Uccellacci e uccellini", with its mix of expressionist and hyper-realist techniques. At the centre of this period are found some of Italy's most highly regarded films made by directors, such as Vittorio DeSica, Roberto Rossellini, and Luchino Visconti, who belonged to the Neo realist movement (1946-53). These film-makers rejected escapist cinema and tried to make films that examined the contemporary experiences of ordinary Italians. As well as analysing the films in themselves, the course examines the formal and ideological continuities and differences between Neo-realist films and their silent and fascist predecessors. In a similar way, it analyses Neo-realism's impact on later film-makers, such as Federico Fellini, Pietro Germi, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Gillo Pontecorvo, Dino Risi, and Francesco Rosi, who attempted to develop new versions of cinematic realism. Finally, the course aims to locate the films in their historical and cultural contexts and to address theoretical issues arising from the concept of 'realism'.
