| ITALIAN (F26) | 50 HAPPY ENDINGS | VITTORI, G. |
| ITA 50: Happy Endings: Italian Comedies Ever since Aristotle, and passing through the Renaissance, comedy has been known as a genre of theatrical performance that makes us laugh and features a happy ending. Comedies usually deal with a small social cosmos where family and love issues lead the action, representing onstage situations onto which we can project our own experience. Comedy can thrill us with adventurous plots, get us lost in a labyrinth of emotions, or make us aspire to social change. As the genre of comedy has evolved over the centuries, Italy boasts a rich comedic tradition. This course examines major Italian comedies spanning from ancient Rome to the twentieth century, showing examples of how comedy has developed and to what extent traces of this evolution can still be found in what makes us laugh today. Examining their permutations through different time periods, we will learn how Italian comedies prompt us to rethink critically the concept of laughter and the idea of the happy ending: happy and funny in what sense, for whom, and at whose expense? | ||
