| Course Description | Prerequisites: Intermediate Italian II or equivalent proficiency. This course examines various aspects of Italian language and culture through the study of emigration from and within Italy as well as through the exploration of contemporary immigration into Italy. This highly interdisciplinary course will begin by covering the history of the Italian diaspora from its beginnings to the internal migration, root and consequence of the miracolo economico. The second part of the course, instead, will be devoted to the study of the multifaceted aspects of immigration into Italy over the past 30 years. The continuous migratory fluxes into Italian territory have generated animated debates and important forms of hybridization - such as Southern Italians’ conversion to Islam - that it is essential to acknowledge. Contemporary Italian emigration and the so-called “brain drain” will be the concluding topic of this course. |
