One additional weekly hour of discussion in Italian will be open to Italian minors and all who are interested.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden; width: 624px; height: 435px;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" style=\"margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/02GTCDIlqkafJRQtN6Rhkeblp2olbIT_NaxoI4W2jwWjmXadh-4C21Re9kvuBSRiMhcqOSOByqinXRvLZNyGO0Xufon6zSgxbM7KtFfewY8A2mWeG5NstEOGdzZTLiPepFTRbMWIK8PKZgOcfxp2jlM\" width=\"602\" height=\"419\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">F is for Fake: Forgery, Fiction, and the Art of Lying<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 21pt 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #333333; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">This course traces the evolution and explores the meaning of fakes, fiction, and hoaxes in Western art and literature. We will examine counterfeited documents, literary forgeries, plagiarism, art reproductions, and eccentric interpretations in order to call into question conventional ideas of authorship, readership, and text. The seminar will begin by defining core terms such as forgery, parody, hoax, and fiction. We will see how each of these terms is defined by a particular author\/audience relation. We will then consider the relatively simple concept of document fabrications, followed by increasingly more sophisticated examples of \u201cfake\u201d texts belonging to the canon of modern and post-modern art. Subsequently, we will be looking at a series of \u201ccase studies\u201d containing historical examples from each of the terms, supplemented with a selection of critical readings that will enhance students\u2019 appreciation of the aesthetic and epistemological implications of the texts at issue.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;\"><span style=\"border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 624px; height: 468px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" style=\"margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/AiThX6fWAgOx-sHKM9Sr4qxlsvNUEvARsaRJe63oiRct0B8dmJd99yLD2rym_IEMrYoGo42qG0ct5Zod3JNgxuA7XqqLdAPK9557KqpUaM64GFToUDolb0mf5t0Fei42ksTbPH0NpHV2Aba5IAtcGA\" alt=\"In praise of Orson Welles' F For Fake\" width=\"599\" height=\"449\" \/><\/span><\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">Italian Food in Practice: A Hands-on Cultural History<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 21pt 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #333333; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">This is a challenging course on one of the best-loved cuisines in the world.

Quasi ogni settimana gli studenti affronteranno un testo nuovo, e impareranno a conoscerlo e apprezzarlo, collocandolo nel contesto della storia del secolo scorso e di quello attuale.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;\"><span style=\"border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 612px; height: 358px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" style=\"margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/nUreG90tGO3zwoRwmO4ul6zjr6HkUPDBntPl9Xbkgx4z9PS7EuC600p1AHqhvrEcU_Kyipu0R67qJOwiflWIRCcDk6x2qB8Uf3gqVH5ZEqwUagXS6MLTwqcUGZfeOM-bQS7-biv0lU5ppFVZyG2-WQ\" width=\"692\" height=\"511\" \/><\/span><\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">Human\/Nature: Arts and Humanities Lab<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding: 14pt 0pt 14pt 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">How are the terms &#8220;human&#8221; and &#8220;nature&#8221; interrelated and how is their relationship changing?\u00a0 We like to think of the interaction as a peaceful one, as one of balance and mutually beneficial coexistence, but the word &#8220;slash&#8221; can help us remember that more often than not violence is the mode of interaction.

Instead of poetry steeped in lyricism and the expression of an authorial subject, the new kind of poetry called for the exploration of other modes of compositions that exploit chance, the subconscious, and the ironic and subversive re-appropriation and juxtaposition of bits and pieces of popular culture. Over the past century, many have employed these new techniques: all the avant-gardes experimented with them, as well as some of the most influential voices in contemporary poetry. The relentless diffusion of digital media has made them only more present and more sophisticated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">This newer brand of poetry was often the bearer of a radical and revolutionary political message; for this very reason, it was crucial for writers to reach their audience directly. The most immediate way of doing that was through low-budget self-publication: a whole universe of underground zines, independent magazines, and literary journals was thus born.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">This class aims at achieving two goals: first, retracing the fascinating history of objective poetry, from its origins to today\u2019s practitioners; second, to encourage students to try their hand at the techniques we will be studying, and collect their work in a zine (a minimalist paper journal), one of the most common medium through which objective poetry has been disseminated over the past 50 years<\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;\">.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.44; background-color: #ffffff; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;\"><span style=\"border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 624px; height: 505px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/vs_d8VFBeJa7JpUfWx_gf-Po942lafFRorCPAVfgG2zuVfE-rC6X0-hbiZCaw3E3hxSWTbsx3jggu7KAQjInxwv7ZHP2n7XkboZ4Gy1cUAr1sl-jur16QN8ui3xA8ibkSyGEigXtwbmhLGzQ1Gjgag\" alt=\" Spatola Adriano [e altri] : 34 numeri di Tam Tam.

Elio Pagliarani was a prominent Italian poet of the second half of the 20th century. Many of these books in the library included handwritten signatures and dedications from other poets and authors. This map, created using ArcGIS, organizes this very specific data set, making visible and searchable the locations where each author or poet wrote their dedication to Pagliarani; another map shows where each author or poet lived. Both data sets include photos of the actual pages with the inscriptions. The purpose of this project was to provide a digital means of displaying how a diverse group of poets and authors both Italian and from outside of Italy used poetry to stay connected over a vast span of time. Please feel free to explore our interactive map and learn more about Elio Pagliarani!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
