This course examines how Italian “national” identity has emerged and evolved in a consistently multi-ethnic and multicultural environment. From Roman times through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, during the Risorgimento and the process of national unification, and down to the present day, the sense of who is Italian and what it means to be Italian has been a contested ground characterized by negotiations between different peoples, cultures, and identities. These reflections are intended to challenge the stereotypes of Italian-ness which circulate not only abroad but within Italy itself. This course is taught in Italian.
