italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear Colleagues,
please consider submitting a paper proposal for the MLA 2015 session "Teaching
Renaissance Italian Literature Today" (see description below). Next
year's MLA will be held January 8-11 in Vancouver, Canada.
This panel is interested in innovative ideas for teaching Renaissance
Italian literature in today's undergraduate classroom. 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. 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? What activities can be conducted in class? What
Renaissance literary works are better suited for achieving these
goals? Particularly welcome are specific pedagogical strategies
addressing challenges for teaching this material.
Please send 250-word abstract by 18 March 2014 to Filomena Calabrese
([log in to unmask]).
All best,
Filomena
