Summer Institute in the Humanities: Venice and the Veneto between the XIX and the XX century
This seminar will consider the new political and economic realities of Venice, from the emergence of great industrial magnates to the production centers in Marghera and Mestre, from issues such as the preservation of the city and its lagoon to the development of the recreational center and bathing establishments of the Lido. The 2007-2008 Summer Institute will consider the singular history of Venice, and the role of the visitor’s “gaze,” in shaping the economic base, social structures, art, literature, and music of Venice in the twentieth century.
