Course of study in brief

The postgraduate degree in Tradition and Interpretation of Literary texts has as its main objective the acquisition of a well-grounded preparation so as to develop the capacity for doing independent research, sharing knowledge, elaborating ethodologies and technical analysis in the field of the philological and literary disciplines. These abilities will be developed along with specialized high-level competencies in any cultural or professional field connected with the production, circulation and analysis of texts. Therefore the postgraduate degree in Tradition and Interpretation of Literary texts aims at developing the following competencies: - the ability to apply a solid theoretical knowledge of the processes of communication in general and the mechanisms of production as well as verbal and literary communication in particular; - the ability to do in depth analysis of philological, rhetorical and stylistic, ideological and literary components of any text whether creative or scientific; - the ability to elaborate complex texts whether they are creative, technical or scientific texts; - the ability to accurately compare and collect texts of any genre and to establish relationships among them; - the ability to transform, adjust and recreate any text by referring to specific techniques of analysis and choosing essential thematic components as well as stylistic register; - the ability to organize, coordinate and produce texts such as dictionaries, grammar books, scholastic texts, and to carry out editing tasks with the use of computer technology and telematics; The course of study is differentiated into two tracks: one is dedicated mainly to Italian philology and literary culture, while the other is aimed at the presence of the classical literary tradition, i.e. Greek and Latin, found in modern and contemporary literary culture and hermeneutics. Apart from the two tracks mentioned above and in consideration of the objectives, the course involves some shared subject matter within the fields of the theory of literature and the European literary tradition – as well as a wide range of topics concerning theoretical and historical linguistics, philological and historical disciplines, art-history, educational disciplines as well as didactic methods. In any case, since these concern foundational disciplines, such subjects are aimed at providing a shared groundwork, and as such will be covered in the first year of study, while the other subjects represent the culmination of the critical study, which will be covered in the second year.

Since the academic year 2015/2016, the University of Augsburg (Germany) and the University of Verona activate the joint Italian-German master's degree with double degree in “Europäische Kommunikationskulturen/Italienisch” / “Trazione e interpretazione dei testi letterari - curriculum internazionale”, The curriculum includes the first year at the headquarters of Verona and the second at the headquarters in Augsburg. The period of studies in Verona is aimed at providing specialist skills and offers in particular professional knowledge in the fields of research, journalism, publishing and communication; The period of studies in Augsburg has an interdisciplinary character thanks to the interplay between various disciplines such as Romance Linguistics, Romance Literature, History of Art, Medieval, Modern and Contemporary History, Musicology, Greek and Roman Archeology, Integrated in already-activated degree programs such as “Internationale Literaturen”, “Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte”, “Ethik der Textkulturen”, “Europastudien”, “Anwendungsorientierte Interkulturelle Sprachwissenschaft”.

Degree programme annual factsheet (SUA-CdS)

As part of the Quality Assurance system, complete, updated and easily available information on objectives, study plan, resources used and results achieved for each degree programme is made available through the SUA-CdS - Scheda Unica Annuale del Corso di Studio (Degree programme annual factsheet). This includes an Overview and three public sections (Learning Objectives, Student Experience, Learning Outcomes) which together provide a wide range of information about each degree programme. The SUA-CdS also contains an administrative section (Administration and Quality Management) that is for internal use only.

The Degree programme annual factsheet (SUA-CdS), which is currently available only in Italian, is a valuable tool that can be used by the University to design, implement and reorganise, as well as to evaluate, each degree programme. However, the SUA-CdS factsheet is also useful for students, to help them choose the right programme of study.
 

La LM 14, Laurea magistrale in Tradizione e interpretazione dei testi letterari, ha come obiettivo principale l’acquisizione di una preparazione avanzata di carattere disciplinare, in ambito filologico-letterario-linguistico. Tale formazione avviene grazie alla specificità degli insegnamenti disciplinari previsti dal piano, relativi allo studio delle lingue classiche, delle filologie antiche, medioevali romanze e moderne, della Letteratura italiana umanistica, moderna e contemporanea, con peculiare attenzione rivolta agli stili, ai generi letterari, alla trasmissione dei testi e alla loro analisi filologica e storico-letteraria.
Il biennio magistrale offre al discente le condizioni e i saperi per innescare e mettere in pratica in piena autonomia percorsi di ricerca, progetti di diffusione/mantenimento/incremento delle conoscenze nell’ambito sopra descritto, nonché elaborare tecniche e metodi di analisi nell’ambito delle scienze filologiche e letterarie. Lo studente dovrà acquisire una piena e autonoma capacità di gestione di tutte le attività connesse con la produzione, l’analisi, la circolazione e la definizione della qualità di forme testuali (anche differenti da quelle legate specificamente alla produzione filologico-letteraria).
La LM mira agli obiettivi formativi qui di seguito elencati e contestualizzati più nel dettaglio con riferimento di volta in volta ad aspetti, contenuti, ambiti del sapere compresi nella specificità del percorso di formazione, secondo un ordine che interseca la sequenza logico-temporale con quella più propriamente contenutistico-disciplinare:

- capacità di padroneggiare un quadro teorico avanzato di riferimento dei contesti storici e culturali e dei processi della comunicazione verbale e testuale, dei meccanismi e degli ambiti della produzione, diffusione, custodia, trasmissione dei testi (con specifico riferimento alla comunicazione letteraria);

- capacità di analisi testuale, ovvero capacità di individuare tutti gli aspetti implicati nella produzione di un testo: aspetti stilistico-retorici, storico-letterari, ideologici;

- capacità di analisi e comprensione delle componenti filologiche del testo, sia esso di contenuto letterario/creativo o scientifico (apparati critici e paratestuali, edizioni, saggistica, ecc.), nonché alla capacità di storicizzare e di collocare tali componenti all’interno del più vasto ambito della storia della cultura;

- capacità di confrontare e di collazionare con metodo testi di qualsiasi genere, e della capacità di stabilire eventuali rapporti genetici intercorrenti fra di loro;

- assimilazione di modelli testuali modificabili e riproducibili a seconda delle specificità del contesto di elaborazione;

- acquisizione di una preparazione approfondita atta a sviluppare autonome capacità nei settori della filologia classica, medievale, moderna e contemporanea e delle relative letterature, sulla base di conoscenze metodologiche, teoriche e critiche (obiettivo garantito dagli insegnamenti disciplinari delle filologie delle lingue classiche, mediolatine, romanze, e della letteratura italiana);

- acquisizione di una panoramica sui metodi di lavoro in ambito archivistico, bibliotecario ed editoriale (obiettivo raggiunto attraverso gli insegnamenti relati alla paleografia e alle ricerche d’archivio, anche di ambito storico);

- apprendimento di una lingua straniera a scelta (obiettivo raggiunto dalla necessità per lo studente di superare il livello B2 completo in una delle seguenti lingue: inglese, francese, russo, spagnolo, tedesco).

Per tutti i curricula nei quali si articola la LM gli obiettivi formativi sono raggiunti mediante un percorso che prevede insegnamenti spiccatamente improntati alla metodologia filologica applicata a testi letterari di varie epoche (testi antichi greci e latini, testi mediolatini, romanzi e della storia letteraria nazionale) nonché allo studio della filologia nel suo formarsi come scienza autonoma. L’obiettivo della competenza relativa alle tipologie testuali è garantito dagli insegnamenti storico-letterari, da insegnamenti di linguistica e grammaticali, nonché dall’insegnamento della stilistica e della metrica italiana, dell’ermeneutica letteraria e dall’insegnamento delle letterature secondo le modalità della comparazione delle diverse forme del testo, dell’analisi critico-letteraria, dall’attenzione per la produzione letteraria novecentesca, oltre che da una precipua attenzione per i principali testi teorici e critici di ciascuno degli ambiti disciplinari previsti dalla LM.

Other useful things

Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU/ECTS credits): Italian university courses are based on the CFU system. 1 CFU is equal to 25 hours of study. The average annual academic workload for a full-time student is generally assumed to be 60 CFU. CFU and ECTS credits serve the same purpose and generally have the same value.
Degree class: Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes that have the same learning objectives and activities are grouped into “degree classes".
