Learning objectives
The course aims to introduce to the study of Italian literature through the analysis of significant works especially considering their relationships with foreign literary traditions. At the end of the course the student will be able to - contextualize, understand and comment on a literary text; - move with competence in the framework of the Italian literary tradition and its main thematic and formal characteristics, with attention to the intersections with the European literature.
Program
The Grand Tour between educational journey and sentimental journey: "the age of experience" The course delves into the cultural experience of the Grand Tour, taking inspiration from Foscoli's work (from the translation of Laurence Sterne's 'Sentimental Journey' to the English articles on 'Classic Journeys in Italy' and on 'Italian Women') which rereads the stereotypes created by Northern European odeporic literature, focusing on the sociological, pedagogical, political aspects and on the issue of 'gender' in the wake of Madame's 'Corinne ou l'Italie' de Staël (1807). Against the historical-evolutionary background of the theme of travel (inserted in the Italian literary tradition, with textual references to Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio, Ariosto, Alfieri, Baretti), the specific meaning of the Grand Tour as a journey of knowledge and as a journey will be highlighted sentimental (based on imagination, subjectivity, sensitivity, encounter with the other) according to Yorick-Sterne's anticipatory doubling. Finally, at the crossroads between literary text and visual text, the iconographic status of the Grand Tour will be analysed, which is reflected in the 'en plein air' descriptions, in neoclassical ruinism, in eighteenth-century landscape painting, in the 'sublime' landscape that emerge between the second half of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, so as to confirm that "revolution of the gaze" at the center of the construction of national identity, which passes precisely from the experience of travellers, capable of transforming Italy from "foreign to itself" to topos rhetorical, that is, the sum of national characteristics, stabilized in recognizable and identifying images. In addition to thus marking a unique moment of mutual knowledge between Northern and Southern Europe, the Grand Tour built historical reflection on the landscape, on the paths of memory, on the relationship between writing and experience.
