L-LIN/10 - ENGLISH LITERATURE
Period
I semestre dal Oct 1, 2018 al Jan 12, 2019.
Learning outcomes
The course, held in English, aims at introducing Students to the English Literature from the 16th century to the Restoration (1660), paying emphasis on some canonical literary texts. Besides, it will offer skills and abilities for the critical analysis of literary texts and their genres. The course objective is to provide a good knowledge of the literature of the period (historical context, texts, genres, literary movements and authors) and to develop in Students a capacity of analysis and argumentative abilities in relation to the various typologies of literary texts set in their literary, historical, and cultural context.
At the end of the course, Student will be able to
- analyse the examined literary texts setting them in their historical and cultural context;
- discuss them in an argumentative way, with due consideration to contemporary literary conventions, and by applying a critical, knowledgeable, and aware approach to the specificity of the literary texts;
- present the acquired competences in English, and in a coherent and clear way.
Program
Migration, Multiculturalism, and the Visual Rhetoric of Shakespeare’s 'Othello'.
The course will offer an overview on the history of the Elizabethan theatre and of Shakespeare’s works. An in-depth reading of one instance of Shakespeare’s major deconstructions of racism and intolerance – Othello – will provide us the opportunity to foreground highly topical issues, both then and now: migration, populist responses, and the necessity of safeguarding both basic and advanced human rights. The championing of a multicultural attitude, the recognition of minorities and their rights, and an attitude of togetherness-in-difference is Shakespeare’s response to the imagined dread of the creolisation/miscegenation of identities. 'Othello' will thus be analysed in its visual rhetoric, and in its periodical appropriations and adaptations due to various, strategic, rhetorical/political uses. An analysis of 'Measure for Measure' will provide the completion to the course by its focus on the use and misuse of the Law.
