Franco Minganti
Prof. Franco Minganti teaches American literature at the University of Bologna’s Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures and offers an Italian cultural studies course at E.C.Co. At UNIBO, he is currently coordinating the EU/US Atlantis Program (“Global Cities/Global Citizenship”), as well as other exchange programs with US and Canadian universities. His research encompasses various aspects and cultural contexts of American literature, with a special focus on the transformations in storytelling due to the interconnectedness of literature with other branches of art, communication, and entertainment – namely radio, cinema, television, video, music, comics, and the Internet. With an extensive experience of lecturing and teaching abroad (he has lectured in the US, Australia, and various European countries, and taught at Brown University) and with American students studying in Italy, Prof. Minganti has co-authored a popular History of American Literature (in Italian), and written a large number of books and essays on literature, film, music, and comics. He has also organized important international conferences on rock culture, jazz and literature, the Beat Generation, and Woody Guthrie. Prof. Minganti is currently working on two books:… Continue reading

Intensive Italian for Academic Purposes
The Intensive Italian for Academic Purposes course has two complementary and over-lapping aims: first, it offers students a review of the major grammatical structures they have already studied in the Italian language courses they have taken on their home campuses; second, it gives students the opportunity to develop and practice the type of language skills they will need in academic settings. Each week of the course is dedicated to the study of a theme, such as Italian Universities, Opera, Antifascism and Resistance. Readings and viewings on these themes are the springboard for in-class discussion and analysis. 0.5 credit will be awarded for this course.

Writing Workshop
The mandatory Writing Workshop is taught by Prof. Ivan Tassi and meets for two hours once a week. It is designed to improve the students’ writing skills and to help them with the assignments in both “corsi interni” and Unibo courses. This course requires students to write weekly. The first part focuses on the reading and comprehension of Italian literature; the second is devoted to the preparation for finals in E.C.Co. and Unibo courses.
