Now that literary studies are being sidelined by more pressing curriculum requirements, how can literature be integrated and taught within a more contemporary-minded curriculum? In this talk we’ll be looking at how the multimedia, cinema and the web provide a framework for rethinking and teaching in a new way literature in relation to cultural change and current issues.

“The Merchant of Venice – is Shylock villain or victim?”
Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice is a difficult play for modern audiences. The character of Shylock can easily be read as anti-Semitic. But is this what Shakespeare intended? This seminar will look at what the play tells us about the time when it was written and what it says about our own time. It will also ask, is Shylock the villain of the piece or the victim of a harsh and unforgiving world?
In anticipation of the forthcoming performances in Milan by the Watermill Theatre and Propeller Company, directed by Edward Hall (27-31 May at Teatro Strehler, Largo Greppi 2, M2 Lanza).

“Revising Biography, History and the Self: Virginia Woolf and ‘Orlando’ ”
It sprung upon me how I could revolutionize biography in a night. These words, from a letter to Vita Sackville-West, synthesize the genesis of the literary adventure that Virginia Woolf was about to begin in October 1927. The seminar will open with a presentation and analysis of “Orlando”, while the second part will provide suggestions for reading it in the English classroom.
Paola Nizzoli, teacher andteacher trainer
This seminar is organised in collaboration with LEND
These seminars are free of charge. As places are limited, the ‘first-come, first- served’ principle will be applied
