| Contenuti |
Ralph Waldo Emerson's heritage in American Culture |
| Testi di riferimento |
R. W. Emerson, "Selected Essays", edited and with an Introduction by Larzer Ziff, Penguin, 1987 (available in the UNIPG library); Giorgio Mariani et all., "Emerson at 200", Aracne, 2004. |
| Obiettivi formativi |
The course will investigate the importance of Ralph Waldo Emerson's philosophical thought on American culture, from the 19th century to modern times. The trascendentalist intellectual was pivotal in the development of a specific nature-oriented literature mirroring American identity. His writings, together with those by Henry David Thoreau form the basis of an environmentalist trend that spans decades. From the early perception of the power and, at the same time, of the vulnerability of nature, to today's ecocriticism, Emerson proves one of the most innovative philosophers of the U.S.A. His writings will be studied alongside contemporary analyses of his heritage in fields such as pedagogy, philosophy, ecology and history. Students will have to be able to trace these threads from the 19th century to today's culture. |
