The seminar is organized into ten sessions (urbanism, tourism, memory, gendered space, silent cinema, popular cinema, comedy, fantasy and reality, audiences, the landscapes of Italy). A day is dedicated to
each topic; and a specialist in the particular field leads each seminar:

Christian Uva (Rome): fantasy and reality
WEEK 2
Alan O’Leary (Leeds): popular cinema
John David Rhodes (Sussex): urbanism

In addition to the seminars, there will be three lectures relating to Rome and the cinema by Jacopo Benci (British Schoool in Rome), James Collins (Notre Dame), and Giovanni Ragone (Rome).
The deadline for applications is December 21. For more information, and to apply, please visit our website, http://italianstudies.nd.edu/.
