Authors to be considired include Livy, Virgil, Statius, St. Paul, St. Augustine, Einhard, Innocent III, Marco Polo, Theresa of Avila, Garibaldi, Mussolini, and even Dan Brown. These (mostly brief) readings provide snapshots of differing conceptions of “Rome,” both the city proper and its global influence. But the primary text of this course will be the material city of Rome itself; most classes will be ambulatory. May be used to satisfy an honors colloquium requirement. WLIT 3983 (H) | Rome: the Rebirth of Antiquity and the Birth of Modernity Dr. Bill Quinn This interdisciplinary course investigates a key moment of cultural crisis for Rome and the reverberations thereof for all the World. Our primary focus will be an exploration of how late medieval society struggled to re-identify itself in terms of the Renaissance and Reformation. Particular moments for detailed consideration include: April 8, 1341, when Petrarch was crowned poet laureate by Roman Senatori Giordano Orsini and Orso dell'Anguillara on Capitol; 1417, Council of Constance and burning of John Hus; 1418, when the Arte della Lana selected Brunelleschi to construct the dome of Santa Maria dei Fiori in Florence; 1496, when Michelangelo arrived in Rome; and, lastly, the Sack of Rome in 1527. Site visits to include: Palazzo Farnese, Palazzo Spada, Campo dei Fiori, Cancelleria, Ponte Sisto, Via Giulia, St Peter’s Basilica, Castel San’Angelo, Pantheon, Santa Maria sopra Minerva, Basilica di S. Augustino, Villa Borghese, Da Vinci Museum, Basilica Sta Maria Popolo, Sta. M. degli Angeli, Palazzo Venezia, Piazza Campodoglio, St. Peter in Chains, and Florence. Cross-listed as MRST 3023(H), and HIST 3983(H). Arts, Architecture & Design ARCH 4016 | Architectural Design (REQUIRED FOR B.ARCH STUDENTS) Focusing on the analysis of the Roman urban stratification (Palimpsest), the students attending the University of Arkansas Rome Center develop a series of critical works within complex urban conditions and scales of urban space. Sites are selected to address the issues of design within the layered cultural and historical context of Rome and to address the question of significance within the process of contemporary design. ARCH 4653 | Architecture of The City (REQUIRED FOR B.ARCH and B.I.D. STUDENTS) For the visitor and scholar, Rome represents an opportunity to understand the numerous stratifications that human evolution has left on urban history. The aim of this course is to accompany you through the layering that composes Rome’s urban form and to offer you a necessary basis of the historical and theoretical information, in order to take full advantage of your experience as students at the Rome Center. With Rome and its environs as our laboratory, we will cut a series of paths through the city, through its layers of material culture and time, and we will unearth its structure. Using drawing and observation as our primary methods of investigation, we will study the great spaces of Rome, uncoupling the image of form from its organizing structure and resulting space. Each week, we will produce a series of drawings in which we will record our observations, extracting lessons about space, rhythm, change over time, and hierarchy. ARCH 4933 | Introduction to Historic Preservation This course aims to educate architects to assume leadership roles in historic preservation design and planning. While the programs will expose students to a broad spectrum of architectural preservation practices, the curriculum emphasizes the preservation of mid- 20th century architecture, an emerging issue of concern in the discipline. ARCH 4673 | Neighborhoods of Modern & Contemporary Rome This course will examine the transformation of Rome from the capital city of the Papal States to the present through a series of neighborhood case studies. Housing is the central theme of the course and also the subject of the term project where students are asked to consider Principles of Intelligent Urbanism including accessibility, creating a sense of place through design and sustainability – environmental, technical, and social. These ideas will be critically applied to analyze such diverse neighborhoods as historic Trastevere, ethnic areas including Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, and planned communities around the shopping mall Parco Leonardo. ARCH 4023 | Human Behavior & Physical Environment This course provides an introduction to the range of viewpoints, concepts, and characteristics of human behavior that need to be considered during the design process. Cultural, social, psychological and physiological factors are examined. Various theories and methods of environmental assessment and design are studied that are based on an understanding of mutually supportive relationships between people and their physical environment. Italian Language ITAL 1003 & 1013 | Elementary Italian I & II This course is a presentation of Italian phonology, grammar and structure through vocabulary and situations of everyday life. The purpose is to give students the ability to communicate as soon as possible. There will be oral practice in class on pronunciation, intonation, elements of grammar and conversation and home assignments. International Studies/Global Studies Minor INST 2013 | Introduction to International and Global Studies Camilla Lai A historical and contemporary overview of the relations and interactions between peoples across borders, between cultures and societies, states and non-state actors, governments and non-governmental organizations, and economies, both local and global. Focus on differing disciplinary approaches to international and global studies, the transformations caused by the process of globalization, and a survey of current global issues and problems. INST 4003 | International Studies Seminar: Contemporary Human Rights: from Birth to Future Camilla Lai This course will provide students with a foundation of contemporary human rights in the global discourse. Students will navigate the complex human rights system, from the birth of the current human right international legal instruments, through the historic genesis of the human rights movement, the United Nations machinery, to current trends in Human Rights discourse and future prospects of advocacy. Students will identify a human right to investigate throughout the semester with accurate research and with ad hoc assignments for their final research paper. Business ECON 2143 | Basic Economics: Theory & Practice This course surveys basic microeconomic and macroeconomic principles and analytical tools needed to study contemporary economic problems such as inflation, unemployment, poverty, and pollution. In Rome, the class blends the historical, cultural, and business connections of Rome, Italy, with the basic principles of economics in a course for nonbusiness students. MKTG 3433. Introduction to Marketing Examines strategies, tactical, and operational decisions related to contemporary marketing activities. Topics covered include product, services and international strategies in consumer and business markets. Arts & Humanities ARCH 2993 | Art & Culture of Italy Emilio del Gesso Several civilizations and cultures have left an impressive collection of unique art and architectural masterpieces in Italy. This course describes the evolution of culture and aesthetics, and their immediate relationship with the creation of these works. The different periods of the history of Rome will be presented and discussed, through a series of itineraries in which the related issues will be analyzed and developed. Visits will cover the Roman and the regional scenario, and will include trips to the Roman surroundings. ARHS 3983 or EUST 4003 | Rome's Heritage and Modern Times Consuelo Lollobrigida This course provides a socio-economic overview of Rome from the 18th century to 1948. It analyzes the urban, social, policial, and economic changes that

  • The Motivation for the Patronage of Pope Julius Ii
    THE MOTIVATION FOR THE PATRONAGE OF POPE JULIUS II Christine Shaw As the head of the Western Church, Giuliano della Rovere, Pope Julius II (1503-13), has had his critics, from his own day to ours, above all for his role as ‘the warrior pope’. The aspect of his rule that has won most general approval has been his patronage of the arts. The complex iconography of some of the works Julius commissioned, particularly Raphael’s frescoes in the Vatican Stanze, and the scale of some of the projects he initiated – the rebuilding of St Peter’s, the development of the via Giulia, the massive and elaborate tomb Michelangelo planned to create for him – have provided fertile soil for interpretation of these works as expressions of Julius’s own ideals, aspirations, motives and self-image. Too fertile, perhaps – some interpretations have arguably become over-elaborate and recherchés. The temptation to link the larger than life character of Julius II with the claims for the transcendent power and majesty of the papacy embodied in the ico- nography and ideology of the works of art and writings produced in Rome during his pontificate, whether or not they were commissioned by the pope, has often proved irresistible to scholars. Some of the works associated with Julius can be read as expressions of certain conceptions of papal authority, and of the Rome of the Renaissance popes as the culmination of classical and Jewish, as well as early Christian history. But should they be read as Julius’s conception of his role as pope, his programme for his own papacy? Just because others identified him with Julius Caesar, or with Moses, does that mean that he saw himself as Moses, as a second Julius Caesar? There were plenty of learned men in Rome, ready to elabore theories of papal power which drew on different traditions and to fit Julius into them, just as they had fitted earlier popes and would fit later popes into them.

  • Italy 2016 Itinerary
    Italy 2016 with Dr. Marc Shapiro July 26 - August 3, 2016 ITINERARY (subject to change) Tuesday 26 July : Rome Arrival in Rome airport, followed by transfer to the hotel. Begin sightseeing (from the hotel) at 1 PM in the former ghetto area of Rome. Rome is the oldest Jewish community in the Diaspora, and its ghetto remained longer than anywhere else in Europe. As part of our tour, we will see the Jewish Mu- seum, the Great Synagogue, and the Trastevere, where there is evidence of the medieval Jewish com- munity. We will also visit the Campo Di Fiori where, on Rosh Ha-Shanah 1553, the Talmud was burned. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner. Accommodations : Hotel Ponte Sisto Wednesday 27 July : Rome Breakfast. This morning begins with a visit to the Arch of Titus and its famous Menorah that, as we will learn, does not correspond to other ancient descriptions. We will then visit the Colosseum, with its legacy of horrors and bravery as slaves fought for their lives to the roars of spectators cheering and booing. This massive structure was actually built with slaves brutally seized after putting down the Jewish Revolt in Eretz Yisrael. Continue to the ruins of the Roman Forum, an international center filled with great palaces and all the pomp that we connect with names like Caesar, Nero and Ci- cero. Later, drive to the Spanish Steps and soon find yourself in the romantic setting of the glorious Trevi Fountain, beloved spot for many great films made in “Roma.” After lunch, enjoy the afternoon at leisure to explore Rome on your own or join an optional tour of the Vatican Museum.

  • Trastevere (Map P. 702, A3–B4) Is the Area Across the Tiber
    400 TRASTEVERE 401 TRASTEVERE rastevere (map p. 702, A3–B4) is the area across the Tiber (trans Tiberim), lying below the Janiculum hill. Since ancient times there have been numerous artisans’ Thouses and workshops here and the inhabitants of this essentially popular district were known for their proud and independent character. It is still a distinctive district and remains in some ways a local neighbourhood, where the inhabitants greet each other in the streets, chat in the cafés or simply pass the time of day in the grocery shops. It has always been known for its restaurants but today the menus are often provided in English before Italian. Cars are banned from some of the streets by the simple (but unobtrusive) method of laying large travertine blocks at their entrances, so it is a pleasant place to stroll. Some highlights of Trastevere ª The beautiful and ancient basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere with a wonderful 12th-century interior and mosaics in the apse; ª Palazzo Corsini, part of the Gallerie Nazionali, with a collection of mainly 17th- and 18th-century paintings; ª The Orto Botanico (botanic gardens); ª The Renaissance Villa Farnesina, still surrounded by a garden on the Tiber, built in the early 16th century as the residence of Agostino Chigi, famous for its delightful frescoed decoration by Raphael and his school, and other works by Sienese artists, all commissioned by Chigi himself; HISTORY OF TRASTEVERE ª The peaceful church of San Crisogono, with a venerable interior and This was the ‘Etruscan side’ of the river, and only after the destruction of Veii by remains of the original early church beneath it; Rome in 396 bc (see p.
