ITAL 6270
Dante's Commedia

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2016-2017.

In this seminar, dedicated to a close reading of Dante's Commedia (1321), we will consider how Dante's poem explores such issues as: the search for a language adequate to convey experiences surpassing human comprehension; the creation of a narrating "I"; the education of the reader; the relation between truth and error; national, political, and religious identities; the place of women in the epic enterprises; the redemptive potential of art (and its ability to deceive as well as to enlighten and console); the call to bear witness, both to life and to loss.

When Offered Fall.

Comments Conducted in Italian.
