Learning outcomes

The main objective of the course (within the Degree in Foreign Language and Literatures) is the acquisition of advanced skills in the field of Spanish literature from 18th to 21st Centuries. The expected learning outcomes are as follows: - Knowledge and understanding: a depth knowledge of the Spanish literature of the considered period: historical context, texts, genres, movements and authors taught in the course, with particular regard to the issues of cultural exchange and the expressive differentiation of literary phenomena. - Applied knowledge and understanding skills: the student will acquire the meth-odologies necessary to work on literary texts in historical and comparative per-spectives and the ability to understand complex texts and implicit meanings.

Program

The coursewill provide the coordinates for the knowledge of the main movements, authors and genres of Spanish literature of the twentieth century. The topics planned are as follows:
- History: the Cuban crisis of '98, Primo ed Rivera, the Second Republic, Franco, the democratic transition
- Literature: Modernism, the Avant-gardes, the Generation of '27, the novel during Franco's dictatorship, the of the Transition
- Texts: a selection of the major Spanish writers of the Twentieth Century is included in the Anthology uploaded to the e-learning portal. Detailed analysis of a novel chosen from "La familia de Pascual Duarte" by Camilo Jose Cela and "Primera memory" of Ana María Matute.
Teaching Mode: Teaching will take place in Italian and Spanish through frontal teaching, case studies and e-learning. The course will have an e-learning platform, which will contain mandatory contents and optional materials. For students who do not have a previous Spanish language education, we will consider the possibility of organizing support courses. This program is also valid for non-attending students who, however, are advised to contact the teacher during the reception hours. Throughout the academic year, the individual reception service managed by the teacher is available, at the timetable indicated on the web pages (no need to set a specific appointment).
