Period
I semestre (Lingue e letterature straniere) dal Sep 28, 2020 al Jan 9, 2021.
Learning outcomes
The course, held in English, aims at introducing students to relevant aspects of English literature, from the Pre-Romantic to the contemporary period, through the reading of a selection of canonical texts. Primary notions about possible methodological approaches for the analysis of literary texts and genres will be imparted. Furthermore, the course will provide a sound knowledge of the English literature of the period (historical context, texts, genres, literary movements and authors) and stimulate abilities and skills for the critical analysis of texts, their discussion and analysis, in consideration of their historical, cultural, and context specificities.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Analyse the literary texts of the syllabus discussing them in relation to their historical and cultural context;
- Discuss the texts using an appropriate critical approach demonstrating the knowledge of the literary conventions of their time;
- Express the acquired literary and critical knowledge demonstrating an adequate competence also in the English language.
Program
PROGRAMME
"Re-writing London: postcolonial, hidden and transnational lives in the metropolis"
The course will investigate different literary representations of the city of London provided by the voice of the “Other”. The peripheral or marginal experiences of migrants, second-generation citizens, homeless, criminals will allow students to put together a portrait of the English metropolis from the 1970s to nowadays in a multifaceted and multicultural perspective. The critical reading of primary texts will be focused on the issues of belonging, resistance, hybridity and transnational identity shaping the lives of these “new Londoners” in a process of ongoing change and renegotiation.
PLEASE BE ADVISED:
Lectures will be held in English.
The programme will be valid for two academic years (i.e. until February 2023)
