	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	49274	Lecture-Discussion	G4	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	1024 Foreign Languages Building	Stoppino, E	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/12-12/12/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Meets with ITAL 510. This section for graduate students only. Non-registered students are not allowed to sit in or audit. Students must meet the prerequisite requirements for this course (found in the Catalog Entry) or will be told to drop on the first day of classes. ITAL 510 Medieval Boundaries: Space, Hierarchy, and Genre in the Medieval Mediterranean This course tests the boundaries of the definition of Medieval culture from multiple points of view. We will look at physical boundaries between different social and political entities from the privileged observation point of the two Mediterranean peninsulas, the Italian and the Iberian. Authority building and canon formation will be very important themes of discussion: the delineation of borders between texts is a process that affects both the texts we study and the critical work done on them throughout the centuries. We will also pay close attention to the formation of genres in the medieval period and to its repercussions on the formation of what we call ?modernity.? One of the main goals of the course is to maintain a focus on these themes while interrogating Medieval Studies as a discipline in its current and past incarnations. Taught in English. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
