Learning objectives

The course includes topics on textual criticism, codicology, palaeography, historical linguistics and cultural history (also by means of a Digital Humanities approach to texts and contents) and it aims at studying the main multidisciplinary aspects characterizing Germanic Philology. Expected Outcomes At the end of the course the student will prove: - to be able to employ at an advanced stage knowledge and methodologies (also digital methodologies), and cultural contents which are necessary for the analysis and interpretation of Germanic linguistic and literary traditions; - to have examined in depth the main multidisciplinary aspects of the discipline and to have strengthened the mastery of a correct and accurate specialized terminology; - To be able to apply autonomously the acquired knowledge and contents (in the field of codicology, palaeography, historical linguistics, textual-criticism and digital philology), to the analysis and interpretation of texts with the purpose of creating scholarly editions, archives and databases. This will promote knowledge of methodologies and applications in the field of philology, textual criticism and linguistics (in compliance with the learning outcomes of the Master Degree in Languages, Literatures and Digital Culture).

Prerequisites and basic notions

It is advisable to have attended a course in Germanic Philology (or at least another philology) and to have a basic knowledge of Digital Humanities.

Program

The course will focus on heroes and heroism in the Germanic Middle Ages and their post-medieval reception. It will examine how heroes and heroism are conceptualized in medieval culture, what is meant by “heroic tradition,” how such traditions are transmitted, and what characterizes narratives about heroic figures. A selection of works will be studied through the material witnesses that preserve and transmit them, including fragments, codices, illuminated manuscripts, and early printed editions. Particular attention will be paid to the relationship between texts and their material forms of transmission.

The second part of the course will introduce students to textual criticism, with particular emphasis on digital philology and digital scholarly editing. Theoretical and methodological discussion will lead to a practical component in which students will explore the possibilities offered by the digital medium by working with texts and witnesses examined in the first part of the course. Students will produce sample XML/TEI encodings involving manuscript description, the annotation of digital facsimiles, and the transcription and encoding of selected textual passages.

Bibliography

Didactic methods

The course will take place in presence. Any changes will be communicated before the start of the course by means of a notice on the teacher's personal page and on the Moodle platform, to which everyone is required to register. The bibliography indicated in Leganto will be further specified during the course. The course materials for attending students consist of the bibliography indicated in Leganto, the lessons and other materials that will be made available on Moodle. The program for non-attending students must be agreed with the teacher. Non-attending students are kindly requested to contact the teacher by email (using an institutional address @studenti.univr.it).

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will be conducted orally, according to the official exam sessions published by the University. For non-attending students, the exam is also oral and follows the same procedures.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The exam will assess the skills acquired during the course and the ability to address the topics covered in the syllabus and establish connections between them. Proper presentation and the appropriate use of the specialized terminology of Germanic Philology will also be evaluated.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final result is expressed on a scale of 30/30 (minimum 18/30 to pass) and should be understood as an overall evaluation of the student’s performance.
