Hello,
I actually joined the list a couple of weeks ago, but thought that a late
introduction would be better than no introduction at all. I am a graduate
student in the MA/Ph.D. program at Brown University (Providence, Rhode
Island, USA). Being new to the field, my interests are broad by necessity
-- chronologically and also geographically. My personal interests lie in
the following areas:
-storytelling (epic poem, appropriate prose, theatre, improvisational theatre)
-the Renaissance
-contemporary Italian prose and theatre
-hypertext as didactic resource in the humanities (I am currently involved
in my department's Decameron Web project:
http://www.brown.edu/Research/Decameron )
-Italian food and its cultural manifestations (in films, etc.)
It has been a pleasure to follow the discussions so far.
