Learning outcomes
Aim of the course is offering a knowledge of the history of literary Italian language, with specific attention to the language of prose, and improving the ability to independently analyze the texts of Italian tradition. The teaching proposes two specific formative objectives: 1) to transmit a systematic vision of the language of Italian prose, in its diachronic evolution (from its origins to modernity) and its various formal components. 2) to analyze in depth a line or an author significant for the linguistic tradition of Italian prose, showing the implications of his language with the other elements of the stylistic system (narrative structures, argumentative processes, discursive approach). At the end of the course students are expected to be able to operatively apply the acquired knowledge and, therefore, to independently proceed to the linguistic analysis of a text in Italian literary prose, as preliminary element for its overall interpretation.
Program
SYLLABUS
The two novels of 1889. Through the reading and linguistic and stylistic analysis of the novels Il piacere and Mastro-don Gesualdo (both published in 1889) the course aims to bring out the characteristics of the narrative of Decadentism and Verism, which in Italy develop in parallel and with very different outcomes.
The two novels by D'Annunzio and Verga will be compared with previous texts by the two authors (respectively, Terra vergine and Tigre reale) to highlight the evolution of their prose.
