Learning objectives

The main learning outcome of the course is to provide students with a specialized and comparative knowledge of Spanish literature, of critical methodologies and textual analysis. Acquired competence and knowledge will be applied to interdisciplinary approaches, to the study of critical methodologies concerning textual reading, translation and the critical analysis of texts in Spanish, or to a high-level written production. Students will therefore acquire competences on the use of Spanish, both on the level of contents and on that of critical processes in intertextual and intercultural contexts. The aim is to prepare students for high-level professional outcomes or for further university developments, like PhD courses. Specific learning outcomes are as follows: Knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course students are expected to have acquired advanced knowledge on the history of Spanish literature and culture in its various expressions: forms, genres, and critical perspectives Applying knowledge and understanding: students will be able to apply historical and literary knowledge, as well as acquired theoretical, didactic and methodological instruments to the fields of professional research, teaching of languages and literatures, literary translation, international cooperation and cultural promotion.

Program

Between Humanism and the Renaissance: the Tragicomedia de Calixto y Melibea or La Celestina. The course focuses on the historical period, the cultural environment and the literary currents that emerged during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs. The Tragicomedia de Calixto y Melibea o la Celestina (1499) is one of the works, in some ways still enigmatic and mysterious, which marks the transition from the modes of the 'medieval' literary tradition to the Renaissance one. Students are required to independently know the physical and political geography of present-day Spain and the main historical events (from pre-Roman Hispania to the present era). Supplementary teaching materials will be provided during the course. Non-attending students are invited to contact the professor in charge of the course.
