Learning outcomes

The course aims to offer a knowledge of formal structures of Italian literature, with particular attention to poetic metric, and to encourage the ability to autonomously analyze texts. Specific targets: 1) provide a methodical approach to the metric system of Italian, in its different components; 2) conduct a detailed analysis of one metric genre, which shows the relations with the other elements of style as a system (language, argumentative processes, discursive setting). By the end of the course, students should be able to apply the acquired knowledge, and to autonomously carry out an analysis of the formal features of an Italian poetic text, as an essential element for its general interpretation.

Program

The course is divided into two main parts:

1) Italian metric system:
• metrics and rhythm.
• verse.
• rhyme.
• stanzas.
• metric genres.

2) Italian “ottava rima”:
• metric structure.
• origin and history.
• functions in metric system.
• relations with other elements of poetic discourse.

Teaching methods: frontal lessons.
