Training objectives
- The objectives of the course are: acquisition of the ability to read complex texts; achievement of an adequate knowledge of basic notions of literary texts and the ability to critique the texts both within and across disciplines.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of French at B2 level is required.
Course programme
- Contemporaneity of the 18th century: a hypothesis of a twentieth century rewrite.
The 18th century seems to be an extremely fertile territory for experimentation and cultural interweaving of aspects of contemporary society. The course analyses aspects that are particular to the century, and puts them in relation to twentieth century literary production.
THOSE SDTUDENTS WHO DO NOT ATTEND THIS COURSE ARE REQUIRED TO REQUEST A MEETING WITH THE PROFESSOR TO DISCUSS ALTERNATIVES Didactic methods
- - Lectures (with AV material support including films and photographs).
The lectures will require active participation from the students. Learning assessment procedures
- A student’s acquired knowledge will be verified by evaluating an adequate knowledge of the basic concepts and the acquisition of a capacity to critique the studied themes on the basis of the specific discipline [L-LIN 03], within the wider area [10/H1] which is dedicated to French literature, including interdisciplinary relationships with areas of visual culture and European literature.
Theoretical knowledge will be evaluated by asking questions on the subject matter and the themes of the course, so that the student can be evaluated for both synchronic and diachronic aspects.
There will be a 4 hour written exam (for those students who attend classes) with 4 questions (2 regarding critique and 2 on the texts), or, alternatively, an oral exam (for both students who attend, and those who do not.) Reference texts
