L-FIL-LET/09 - ROMANCE PHILOLOGY AND LINGUISTICS
Period
Second half of Semester 1 dal Nov 13, 2017 al Jan 20, 2018.
Learning outcomes
The course of Romance Philology, through the reading and analysis of literary texts in various romance languages, will enable the student to acquire and develop important knowledge in the fields of philology, historical linguistics and literature. It will also enable the learner to refine his / her interpretation’s skill and understanding applied to literary texts and to elaborate important historical and cultural judgment. At the end of the course, the student must demonstrate that he / she can master the different levels of analysis that will be applied to the texts. The student must also demonstrate knowledge of the disciplinary vocabulary and exhibit the contents with language properties.
Program
The course aims to analyse the figure of the Sibyl in medieval vernacular versions of classical texts: in the Roman d'Eneas from the source of Virgil (Æn, book VI) and in the Ovide moralisé from Ovid (Metamorphosis, XIV, 101-157). After that, we can add Andrea da Barberino’s Guerrin Meschino in the original italian version and in the french version by Jean de Rochemeure up to Haendel’s Alcina.
The teaching methods involve frontal lessons.
An introductory teaching activity is included: Introduction to the critical edition of vernacular texts (by Dr. Nicolò Premi, nicolo.premi@univr.it ) especially for those who have never took philology exams.

Examination Methods
Final oral examination. The oral examination aims at evaluating the student's knowledge, with special reference to the texts read during the lectures; general knowledge of the companions in use will be checked, as well. The final evaluation will be established considering student's knowledge, and his capacity to answer in a clear, appropriate and convincing way.
* Erasmus students will be informed during the lectures about the oral examination.
** Students will have the possibility to ask for a test 'in itinere'.
