Location of University of Bristol
The Department of Italian has a strong commitment to excellence in both teaching and research and views these activities as interdependent and mutually sustaining. We aim to promote a vigorous research culture in a co-operative and positive atmosphere in which postgraduate research projects and ambitions of individual members of the Department can thrive together.
The Department pursues the study of Italian culture in an interdisciplinary context that challenges traditional parameters of the discipline in order to advance knowledge in the areas of our expertise. We currently have particular strengths in the literature, visual culture and cultural history of Modern and Contemporary Italy and in the literary and cultural history of the Medieval period.
Contents
Research Groups The Department has two broad areas of research expertise:
* Modern and Contemporary Italian Literature and Cultural History (Italian Colonial / Postcolonial cultures; terrorism; visual culture and film; gender and sexuality; travel writing; autobiography; literary culture)
* Medieval Italian Literature and Cultural History (Dante; Medieval theory of language; early Italian poetry)
Staff also actively participate in a number of research groupings beyond the Department: in Faculty interdisciplinary research themes such as 'Medieval Cultures', 'Performativity, Place, Space' and 'Colonialism'; the University's interdisciplinary group 'Screen Research @Bristol'; and School of Modern Languages/Faculty research groups such as 'Conflict and Culture', and the MA in Modern Languages.
