Creating Italy. The long XIX century (ITAL0005)

Module Description

It’s hard to find a history of modern Italy that does not include the famous and famously apocryphal words of the statesman Massimo d’Azeglio: “Now that Italy has been made, we need to make Italians.” Whether or not the words were ever uttered, they seem to have struck a chord – one that that continues to resonate, in part because it points to the problem of origins essential to nation building. Who made Italy, if not Italians? Who are Italians, if not the people of Italy? This module is an introduction to the entanglements of these two questions in the long nineteenth century. It covers core themes and developments in the history of this period through an investigation of significant historical documents and/or cultural products.

The module will cover a range of topics, which may be subject to variation and may including the following:

Theories of nation-formation
	Regional cultures and the making of the Italian South
	The “questione della lingua”
	Literature and literary history
	History of science, technology, and medicine
	Pedagogy and children’s literature
	Opera and theatre
Outcomes

By the end of the term, you will have:

Gained knowledge of major episodes and themes of the Risorgimento, Unification and post-Unification periods in Italy, as well as key historical documents and cultural products.
	Improved skills in textual analysis and academic research and writing
	Gained proficiency in reading a range of genres and registers in Italian
Module delivery

There will be one two-hour meeting per week, consisting of teacher-led lectures and seminar-style discussions between students, as appropriate to the weekly topic. Please come to class prepared to discuss all required readings, typically one or two academic articles or book chapters and/or primary texts of equivalent length.
