This third-year course aims to perfect the skills gained in the first two years of the BA course in Lingue, Civiltà e Scienze del Linguaggio (literary and cultural path) and to strengthen the students’ basic knowledge of the history of English literature and culture. It will focus on Shakespeare, his historical and cultural context, and the ways in which his plays are adapted into new contexts, particularly our present anthropocenic moment.
The course aims to improve the students’ ability to use analytic instruments and methods, as well as to make autonomous judgements. The course, also in view of the writing of their BA dissertation and of further study, will enhance their skills in academic writing and in oral communication of the results of their research.
Classes will be held in English. Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of Shakespeare.
Green, Blue, and Dark: Shakespeare and the Environmental Humanities

In this course we will paint Shakespeare green (the colour typically associated with ecology), blue (the colour of the sea), and dark (the colour of catastrophe). We will reading Shakespeare's texts and their performances in light of the environmental crisis we are living in, looking for diagnosis and hope, memory and vision. We will discuss modern ecocritical interpretations of tragedies and comedies and strategies used by modern directors and actors to bring environmental concerns on the Shakespearean stage.
