This one-credit course will seek to contextualize and critique the emergence of cultural commodities within the Italian experience, and their export to the rest of the world. Discussions will concentrate, among other topics, on Italian fashion through the analysis of texts and visual arts, including films. The course is taught in English. No knowledge of Italian is required, but those who can read in Italian will have an opportunity to do so. Everyone will learn some Italian words and expressions. This class may be combined with AS.211.248 ['Eataly: an exploration of Italian food culture'] and AS.211.258 ['Italy Off the Beaten Path'] to count toward the Major or the Minor in Italian.
