ENG 255 IS ITALY: MYTHS, MAFIA, AND MIGRATION

This is a course about transformation as reflected through the lens of the literature of Southern Italy. We will engage in close readings of poetry and fiction in translation and see how literature and language are a means for exploring cultural difference. As a result of our study and exploration together in Southern Italy, you will develop a deeper understanding of the values that underlie Italian culture and may be transformed as well. Prerequisite: GBL 158.
