Inviato da Dr. David Lines, giovedì, gennaio 29, 2009, 10:53 (5784 giorni fa)

The Italian Department at the University of Warwick is offering two departmental PhD bursaries. Each bursary lasts for 3 years, beginning in October 2009, and covers all academic fees at the Home-EU student level. In addition, the successful applicants will receive a maintenance grant of £11.000 per year for the three years of the award. The successful bursary holders will be expected to teach in the Department up to a maximum of 6 hours per week (this may include Italian language) during term time as part of the conditions of the award. (Warwick operates three ten-week terms, with four weeks teaching in the summer term.)

The bursaries will be assigned on the basis of previous outstanding academic performance and the quality of the research proposal. We strongly advise all potential applicants to contact the Department directly before submitting a formal application. Applicants should in the first instance contact the Director of Graduate Studies in Italian, Dr. David Lines (d.a.lines@warwick.ac.uk).

The Department has a vibrant PhD research culture and is able to supervise in most areas of Italian Studies.

For fuller details about the Department, staff and research interests, as well as the current cohort of PhD students, see: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/italian/

To qualify for the bursary competition you must complete the Warwick online application form for a PhD in Italian (accessible at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/apply/process) by 13 February 2009.

In addition to completing the University online application, candidates who wish to apply for the competition should provide, again by 13 February, the following:

1) a detailed CV, outlining in particular previous academic qualifications (BA and MA equivalent), grades, notable academic achievements, relevant teaching experience, etc.

2) a detailed outline of the PhD proposal (in English): 1500 words (including bibliography) setting out the project's aims, methodology, sources and contribution to the field.

3) two academic references (preferably in English) commenting on the candidate's past performance and scholarly potential: referees should use the University's electronic submission procedure, but should also email their references to Dr. David Lines (d.a.lines@warwick.ac.uk)

The CV and PhD proposal should be sent (preferably by e-mail) to the Departmental address below:

Warwick’s Department of Italian includes seven academic research staff, whose interests span topics in Italian studies from 1250 up to the present.
We are able to offer supervision for most topics within this chronological period and have special expertise in the following:

* Dante’s intellectual and scientific culture, and his reception in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy (Gilson)
* the classical tradition in late-medieval and Renaissance Italy, in particular Aristotelianism and Platonism, ethics and natural philosophy, commentaries and translations (Gilson, Lines, Vanhaelen)
* learned culture and institutions—including humanism, scholasticism, libraries, universities and academies—in Renaissance Italy, especially Florence, Bologna and the Veneto (Lines, Gilson, Vanhaelen)
* religion, magic and alchemy in the Renaissance (Vanhaelen, Gilson, Lines)
* the rise of the novel and development of reading cultures in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries (Caesar, Burns)
* women’s writing after the unification of Italy (Caesar)
* modernism and avantgarde theatre in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Caesar)
* the literature of migration, travel and mobility in twentieth-century Italy (Burns, Polezzi, Toninato)
* postwar cinema (Burns)
* literature, ethics and politics from the Renaissance to today (Lines, Caesar, Burns)
*

language, identity and culture, history of literary studies, and translation studies, including the relationship of Greek, Latin and the vernacular in the Renaissance, and of Italian and immigrant speech in modern Italy (Gilson, Lines, Vanhaelen; Burns, Polezzi, Toninato)

Dear Sir,
I was wondering if the research proposal for a Phd in Italian Studies at Warwick should revolve exclusively around culture/literature or if a research proposal in Italian Linguistics would also be taken into consideration.
Thank you for your attention.
