L-FIL-LET/14 - CRITICAL COMPARATIVE LITERATURE

Period

Semester 1  dal Oct 2, 2017 al Jan 20, 2018.

Learning outcomes

The course aims to introduce students to some characters in the literature that have interpreted important turning points in literary history, becoming archetypal figures in Western culture, specifically: in the field of ethical behavior; in the evolution of the relation between the Self and the text; in the process of transformation or creation of literary genres. The reading of the proposed texts will enable students to acquire important knowledge and skills, to refine his/her ability to interpret and understand literary texts and to develop critical thinking. Finally, the course will provide through the critical reading an introduction to the methodologies of Comparative Literature.

Examination Methods

During the final oral exam, students will have to show that they have gained critical skills during the course, by means of analytical and argumentative ability to link the various cultural plans and by reaching a depth and breadth of the knowledge of the read and commented texts. Students must also speak with appropriate language.

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