\nConducted in English and<\/span> Italian, the course looked at Italian culture <\/span>within a transnational context that privileged contacts and exchanges across <\/span>places<\/span>,<\/span> times<\/span>, and languages<\/span>. <\/span>M<\/span>ultiple forms of mobility were explored to challenge the <\/span>\u201c<\/span>national<\/span>\u201d <\/span>paradigm from <\/span>the modern to the contemporary period<\/span>: <\/span>early imperialism under Spanish rule; <\/span>colonial routes in Africa and the Mediterranean; emigration flows to practically all continents; and contemporary immigration <\/span>often carrying the legacy of colonialism or imperialism<\/span>. <\/span>Materials include<\/span> films, documentaries, short stories, novels, songs, and photographs by such diverse artists and authors as <\/span>Nanni<\/span> Moretti, Dawit L. Petros, Jhumpa <\/span>Lahiri<\/span>, Gabriel <\/span>Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez<\/span>, Laura <\/span>Pariani<\/span>, <\/span>Igiaba <\/span>Scego<\/span>, Italo Calvino, Leonardo <\/span>Sciascia<\/span>, <\/span>Maaza<\/span> Mengiste<\/span>, <\/span>Dagmawi<\/span> Yimer<\/span>, Amir <\/span>Issaa<\/span>, <\/span>and others. \u00a0<\/span><\/div><\/span><\/div>

\nIn c<\/span>reating complex circuits of reverberations in which Italy is a point of departure, arrival<\/span>, <\/span>transit<\/span> or return<\/span>, t<\/span>he course aimed at preparing<\/span>\u00a0cross-disciplinary scholars<\/span> engaged with the recent \u201ctransnational turn\u201d <\/span>and <\/span>focus<\/span>ed<\/span> on linguistic and cultural translation<\/span>.<\/span> It also equipped the<\/span>m<\/span> to become advocates for a more inclusive, diverse, and expanded vision of Italian Studies<\/span> in response to <\/span>a fast-changing<\/span> job market <\/span>that<\/span> re-design<\/span>s<\/span> departments and curricula.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The final projects were all designed to be accessible by an external audience, or as platforms for future endeavors. They ranged from blog post on the lure of 1 Euro houses in the South for the Italian diaspora, potentially designed for the H-Net Italian Diaspora blog called Transnational Italian Studies; to a publishable interview on plurilingualism with Adrian Bravi, author of La gelosia delle lingue;<\/em> translations of and commentaries on Laura Pariani’s short stories about Italians in Argentina, to be added to the Memoria presente archive; and a grant proposal focusing on the expansion of a permanent museum exhibit in Italy to include a section on immigration.<\/p>\n
