  • Italian Cinema As Literary Art UNO Rome Summer Study Abroad 2019 Dr
    ENGL 2090: Italian Cinema as Literary Art UNO Rome Summer Study Abroad 2019 Dr. Lisa Verner [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course surveys Italian cinema during the postwar period, charting the rise and fall of neorealism after the fall of Mussolini. Neorealism was a response to an existential crisis after World War II, and neorealist films featured stories of the lower classes, the poor, and the oppressed and their material and ethical struggles. After the fall of Mussolini’s state sponsored film industry, filmmakers filled the cinematic void with depictions of real life and questions about Italian morality, both during and after the war. This class will chart the rise of neorealism and its later decline, to be replaced by films concerned with individual, as opposed to national or class-based, struggles. We will consider the films in their historical contexts as literary art forms. REQUIRED TEXTS: Rome, Open City, director Roberto Rossellini (1945) La Dolce Vita, director Federico Fellini (1960) Cinema Paradiso, director Giuseppe Tornatore (1988) Life is Beautiful, director Roberto Benigni (1997) Various articles for which the instructor will supply either a link or a copy in an email attachment LEARNING OUTCOMES: At the completion of this course, students will be able to 1-understand the relationship between Italian post-war cultural developments and the evolution of cinema during the latter part of the 20th century; 2-analyze film as a form of literary expression; 3-compose critical and analytical papers that explore film as a literary, artistic, social and historical construct. GRADES: This course will require weekly short papers (3-4 pages, double spaced, 12- point font); each @ 20% of final grade) and a final exam (20% of final grade).

  • Europa, Más Allá De La COVID-19
    18 de septiembre de 2020 Europa, más allá de la COVID-19 Clément Beaune | Secretario de Estado de Asuntos Europeos, Ministerio para Europa y Asuntos Exteriores de Francia | @CBeaune Versión original en francés: “L'Europe, par delà le COVID-19”, Politique étrangère, vol. 85, n° 3, otoño 2020 en L'Institut français des Relations internationales (Ifri). El acuerdo presupuestario europeo de julio de 2020 es inédito: creará por primera vez un endeudamiento común que permitirá reactivar las economías afectadas por la crisis de la COVID-19. Es el fruto del dinamismo franco-alemán y de ambiciones reiteradas de la Comisión Europea. En un mundo en el que las tensiones se afilan, Francia necesita a Europa para mantener su soberanía. La Unión Europea debe seguir evolucionando para afianzarse como potencia y responder a las expectativas de los ciudadanos. Unas semanas después del acuerdo presupuestario más ambicioso que se haya alcanzado jamás y que adoptó el Consejo Europeo el 21 de julio de 2020, resulta tentador pensar que, fielmente a un principio muy sabiamente repetido, “Europa sólo avanza con las crisis”, la COVID-19 lo ha cambiado todo en la Unión Europea (UE). Como todos los tópicos, éste también tiene algo de verdad. El salto en integración que se ha dado con el endeudamiento común de la UE es la fase de integración europea más importante que se ha producido desde la del euro; sin esta crisis hubiera resultado imposible. Pero, sobre todo, es cierto y también menos visible que este gran avance le debe mucho a un triángulo áureo que, por primera vez, ha recobrado el vigor de los años noventa: la pareja franco-alemana, estrechamente asociada a una Comisión Europea ambiciosa.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

    1 California State University, Sacramento Department of World Literatures and Languages Italian 104 A INTRODUCTION TO ITALIAN CINEMA I GE Area C1 SPRING 2017 Course Hours: Wednesdays 5:30-8:20 Course Location: Mariposa 2005 Course Instructor: Professor Barbara Carle Office Location: Mariposa Hall 2057 Office Hours: W 2:30-3:30, TR 5:20-6:20 and by appointment CATALOG DESCRIPTION ITAL 104A. Introduction to Italian Cinema I. Italian Cinema from the 1940's to its Golden Period in the 1960's through the 1970's. Films will be viewed in their cultural, aesthetic and/or historical context. Readings and guiding questionnaires will help students develop appropriate viewing skills. Films will be shown in Italian with English subtitles. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0 COURSE GOALS and METHODS: To develop a critical knowledge of Italian film history and film techniques and an aesthetic appreciation for cinema, attain more than a mere acquaintance or a broad understanding of specific artistic (cinematographic) forms, genres, and cultural sources, that is, to learn about Italian civilization (politics, art, theatre and customs) through cinema. Guiding questionnaires will also be distributed on a regular basis to help students achieve these goals. All questionnaires will be graded. Weekly discussions will help students appreciate connections between cinema and art and literary movements, between Italian cinema and American film, as well as to deal with questionnaires. You are required to view the films in the best possible conditions, i.e. on a large screen in class. Viewing may be enjoyable but is not meant to be exclusively entertaining.

  • 1 Cinema Paradiso and Malèna (Giuseppe Tornatore, 1989, 2000)
    1 Cinema Paradiso and Malèna (Giuseppe Tornatore, 1989, 2000) The big question is, how, if he had to keep all the kisses the priest censored, and re-splice them into the print when it went off to its next booking, did Alfredo manage also to store them in the projection booth? It’s true that you sometimes see prints with bits missing. I once got five free tickets to the Cambridge Arts after complaining that a print we’d seen of La Grande Illusion lacked the moment when Pierre Fresnay was shot, and lacked the last bit of the last shot, when Gabin and Carette escape over the Swiss border. But that was a one-off – if the Sicilian distributors here got lots of complaints about missing snogs from cinemas all over the mezzogiorno, surely they’d soon work out who was pinching them, and demand his dismissal? This doubt, together with Morricone’s revoltingly sentimental and repetitive score, ruins the end of the film for me, whichever cut I see it in. —————————— Cinema is paradise. It brings community together, and renders misbehaviour unacceptable – boorish people who barge in yelling are pelted and booed, and the bourgeois in the circle who spits on the plebs below finally gets poo thrown in his face. The local mafia head is shot right at the correct point in (what seems to me) Howard Hawks’ Scarface . The priest, initially outraged by the medium’s excesses, is (you can see) seduced and won over by it. Like Tony Curtis on board his warship with only Gunga Din to watch, you learn all the dialogue, and it becomes your alternative life.
