DESCRIPTION
This course analyses the role of sport in contemporary Italian society and the relationship between sport and culture in Italy. A focus on the interrelationship of politics, media, and sport will create a wider understanding of social and political issues in Italy from nineteenth century unification, through the Fascist regime leading up to the Second World War, and the Republican era that continues today. Contemporary issues such as corruption and scandal in sport, nationalism and multiculturalism in Europe, gender, the business of sport, and its relationship to the media will be critically analyzed in the Italian context. You will be required to actively engage various aspects of sport in Florence throughout the course of the semester through case studies, onsite learning, and field research.
