描述
Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, cities and cinemas have been connected on many different levels: thematically, 正式, 和工业. 电影 has always been interested in the representation of the city-life style as well as the human and social conditions it presents. 这样的电影, has also greatly focused on the representation of the spatial complexities inherent in cities. Moreover, the city has always been the location for cinema production, distribution and exhibition.
弗洛伦斯 - with its historical 建筑, narrow streets and its beautiful scenery - has been used by filmmakers from all around the world over the last sixty years. This course will focus mainly on the representation of 弗洛伦斯 as a city in both Italian and Anglo-American movies, and it will explore the main themes and the different forms addressed and used by directors. The course will also draw comparisons between the "internal" and "external" cinematic gaze on the city - that is - between the Italian and the foreign representations of it.
Beginning with the Anglo-American visions of 弗洛伦斯 that stem from the historical Grand Tour, the course will analyze movies such as A Room with a View, 一位女士的肖像, 和墨索里尼喝茶, 罗莫拉, 和九月事件. It will explore the ways in which these non-Italian directors represent 弗洛伦斯 as a place of beauty, 艺术, 诱惑, and romanticism by focusing their cameras on the streets, 建筑, 艺术特色, 和城市的风景, using these to exemplify the main character's personal journey and growth. Beneath its 艺术istic and suggestive beauty however, lurks a different reality that confers a Janus-like face to 弗洛伦斯. 它的历史, 事实上, bestows the city an aura of darkness and mystery upon which the external eyes have largely dwelled, producing movies such as Obsession, 汉尼拔, 和地狱.
From here, the course will examine Italian-made movies, revealing a different perspective. Italian directors rarely seem so fascinated by the elements mentioned above. 而, they tend to explore different aspects of the city, allowing them to examine and reveal its society as well as its cultural and political elements. 像《宝博体育》è bella这样的电影, Le ragazze di San Frediano, La meglio gioventù, Amici Miei present a 弗洛伦斯 that is poorer, more grim (despite the humor), 更复杂.
The course will provide students with an interdisciplinary framework that brings together 电影研究, 社会学, 及文化研究. It will take students not only on a metaphorical journey but also a physical one as students leave the classroom and take to Florentine streets, exploring the different locations where the movies were shot to better understand the spatial complexities of the city and the various forms and levels of cinematic representations.
