Course unit content

Title of the course:
"Hard paths of the green": towards an interdisciplinary theory of landscape.

The course aims at studying the theory and history of such an important cultural theme as landscape, seen through a series of texts stemming from Romanticism, to end with Zanzotto. At a crossroads between arts and aesthetics, criticism and geography, architecture, cinema and drama, ours proves an ideal standpoint to promote the encounter of different areas of the human sciences, as well as to form an interdisciplinary approach towards literary theory.
