This is an Elective module designed as an introduction to ITALY from a variety of perspectives. It is designed for non-specialists so you do not need to be familiar either with Italian language or with the country of Italy before taking this module.

Hybrid: Tuesdays 11-12 & Thursdays 12-1
Language: This module will be conducted in English and a reading knowledge of Portuguese is not required.
Delivery: This module will be delivered in hybrid fashion, so it will take place in a lecture theatre, but may be followed 'live' online / via webinar.
This module examines 20th and 21st-century film and some short extracts from literature of the Portuguese-speaking world. The selected cultural objects serve as vehicles for a deeper understanding of some major political and social shifts that have impacted the contemporary Portuguese-speaking world. The module encourages students to compare different cultural objects, through a variety of genres and media, in order to establish conceptual links and recognise some of the main features of contemporary Lusophone cultural production.
