Learning objectives

By reading and analyzing literary texts written in diverse romance languages, the course of Romance Philology allows students to acquire and develop fundamental notions and knowledge in the fields of philology, historical linguistics and literature. It allows them to refine their ability to interpret and comprehend literary texts and to elaborate important elements of historical and cultural critical judgement. At the end of the course students will be able to autonomously confront with different levels of analysis to be applied to examined texts. They will also be able to prove their knowledge of disciplinary lexicon and to properly express the main contents of the course.

Prerequisites and basic notions

No prerequisites are required apart from the desirable interest and curiosity towards the subject matter.

General questions may precede or follow the reading and analysis of the texts.
