ITAL 1301
FWS: European Modernism: Style in Architecture, Literature, Film

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course examines design in early modern 20th century Italy and France to provide a toolkit of stylistic techniques for argumentation.  You will analyze a single expression of Modernism across architecture, literature, and film.  Perched on the cliffs above the Mediterranean shore, the home of author Curzio Malaparte is a Modernist marvel.    Photos, painting, and plans from this architectural jewel will contextualize its role as the setting for Jean-Luc Godard's sumptuous film Contempt.  The dream-like short stories of Malaparate himself will round out this visit to the isle of Capri.  Weekly role-play and debates will connect art, politic, and persuasion.  For the final project, you will build a multimedia ePortfolio to demonstrate the development of your approach to writing, style, and Modernism.
