italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Colleagues, please consider submitting a paper proposal for the
following panel at next year's CSIS conference to be held 24-26 May in
St. Catharines, Canada (Niagara Region). The deadline for submission
is 10 December.
Thank you for your attention.
Bringing the Past to the Present: Renaissance Literature Courses
The Italian Renaissance and the works produced during this historical
period remain an interest of study for undergraduates. Sometimes,
however, the interest does not transcend the period itself. This panel
seeks papers that propose ideas for extending the Renaissance and the
production during this time to the present. Film and television series
have helped to make the Renaissance more visible, but how can we
encourage deeper thinking of the period among our students? Can we
help to cultivate an imagined relationship between a past writer and a
modern reader? How can the universal human dimension be emphasized in
the study of the Renaissance so that students imagine past human
motivations, values and goals as similar to their own? What questions
can be asked? What activities can be conducted in class? What
Renaissance literary works are better suited for achieving these
goals? Can instructional technology help?
Please submit 100-word abstracts and one-page CV to
[log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] by
December 10.
