The two assessment methods will be illustrated at the start of the course.

Attendance is optional but recommended. Non-attending students are invited to contact me AT THE BEGINNING of the semester of lessons, to agree on a suitable alternative and personalized programme. It will not be possible to agree on a personalized or even less "reduced" program a few weeks before the exam.

Incomplete preparation of the planned program, lack of precision in expression and lack of knowledge of the specialized lexicon (stylistics, rhetoric, criticism) will be considered prohibitive for success in the test.

The Spanish novel of the second half of the 20th century

The course intends to present the main Spanish literary phenomena of 20th century, starting from the civil war until the years of the democratic transition, through the reading and commentary of some particularly significant novels, characterized by different ideological and aesthetic intentions and which can be classified in the most vast context of European narrative.
The course is divided into three modules.
In the first, the main Spanish literary phenomena from the end of the civil war to the present day are presented, focusing on important currents, authors and works, with broad historical and cultural notes. To this end, some particularly significant readings will be proposed, commented and analyzed taking into account the relevant context.
The second module focuses on the role of the novel, which, over a long period of time, reworks historical events, social and cultural experiences from an international perspective.
In the third module, the reading and commentary of some passages from the novels in the program will be proposed, particularly representative of the characteristics and changes studied in the two previous modules.

examMode

The exam consists of an oral test during which the student will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the history of literature and critical commentary on the texts examined.

courseProgram

The course covers the history of German literature, with particular reference to the period from Late Classicism to Romanticism.
It is a critical study of texts and authors of early 19th century German literature. Lectures focus on the Bildungsroman as a genre of modern European literature. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the narrative works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Jean Paul, Friedrich Hölderlin, Novalis (Georg Friedrich Philipp Freiherr von Hardenberg), Heinrich von Kleist, Joseph von Eichendorff and their resonance in the European literary, artistic and philosophical context.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is threefold:
1. to present a broad cultural-historical perspective on modern German literature.
2. to provide knowledge of the most important authors of the modern period and their most important works.
3. to ground the reading of these works in literary and media theory, and to provide basic knowledge of the issues of textual hermeneutics (philology of the text/textual criticism, methodology of interpretation/textual analysis, text aesthetics) and textual mediation (aesthetics of reception and effect, text/context).

In assessing the test and awarding the final grade, the following will be taken into account: the level of content knowledge demonstrated, the ability to apply concepts and theories, the ability to analyse, synthesise and argue, the ability to make a critical sense, the use of an appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.

Learning will be tested by means of a written (70%) and oral (30%) examination.

The written test will be structured in the form of a test with 30 closed-ended, multiple-choice questions (for each of which one point will be awarded, with no penalty for errors). The written test will account for 70% of the final grade.

The oral test will be held at the end of the written test, on the same day, and will comprise the correction and discussion of the written test and a short interview on the course topics. The oral test will count for the remaining 30% towards the final grade.

Attending students who will do the exercises provided will be able to take advantage of any positive result in the final exam (students attending at least 80% of the lessons, who have carried out the exercises in class, will not have to take the written test on the day of the exam).

Assessment criteria:

- The following will result in excellent marks (e.g. 27-30): a clear exposition of the course content with appropriate language; the full ability to connect the different positions of the authors and the applicative value of the theories; the possession of good critical and argumentation skills.

- The following will result in fair marks (e.g. 22-26): a clear, albeit mnemonic, exposition of the examination texts; a fair ability to connect the contents and theories studied; possession of critical capacity and the use of sufficiently appropriate language.

- The following will result in sufficient marks (e.g. 18-21): a complete but superficial knowledge of the examination programme; a poor ability to connect and apply the course content; only a recognition or poor competence in the appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.

The course intends to present the main Spanish literary phenomena of 20th century, starting from the civil war until the years of the democratic transition, through the reading and commentary of some particularly significant novels, characterized by different ideological and aesthetic intentions and which can be classified in the most vast context of European narrative.
The course is divided into three modules.
In the first, the main Spanish literary phenomena from the end of the civil war to the present day are presented, focusing on important currents, authors and works, with broad historical and cultural notes. To this end, some particularly significant readings will be proposed, commented and analyzed taking into account the relevant context.
The second module focuses on the role of the novel, which, over a long period of time, reworks historical events, social and cultural experiences from an international perspective.
In the third module, the reading and commentary of some passages from the novels in the program will be proposed, particularly representative of the characteristics and changes studied in the two previous modules.

examMode

The exam consists of an oral test during which the student will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the history of literature and critical commentary on the texts examined.

courseProgram

The course covers the history of German literature, with particular reference to the period from Late Classicism to Romanticism.
It is a critical study of texts and authors of early 19th century German literature. Lectures focus on the Bildungsroman as a genre of modern European literature. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the narrative works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Jean Paul, Friedrich Hölderlin, Novalis (Georg Friedrich Philipp Freiherr von Hardenberg), Heinrich von Kleist, Joseph von Eichendorff and their resonance in the European literary, artistic and philosophical context.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is threefold:
1. to present a broad cultural-historical perspective on modern German literature.
2. to provide knowledge of the most important authors of the modern period and their most important works.
3. to ground the reading of these works in literary and media theory, and to provide basic knowledge of the issues of textual hermeneutics (philology of the text/textual criticism, methodology of interpretation/textual analysis, text aesthetics) and textual mediation (aesthetics of reception and effect, text/context).

courseProgram

The course aims to develop the knowledge of the foreign language by studying the translation problems of a written and oral text, from the Spanish to the Italian language, paying particular attention to the non-secondary aspect of the frequent risk of affinity between these two expressive codes.
The knowledge of the "hispanoblante" world as a viaticum of intercultural competence will also be taken into consideration, focusing on the expressive modalities of the Spanish language as used in/by the media, in/by tourism, in/by the law, in/by journalism, in/by advertising, in/by politics.
The key functions of these languages ​​(information, persuasion, etc.) will be fathomed first from a theoretical point of view, then from a practical one, to induce students to criticize linguistic mechanisms (circumlocution, repetition, metaphor, etc.), which plays a strategic role in the construction of the discourse according to its aims and pragmatic characteristics.

examMode

The exam consists of an oral test. The objective of the oral test is to verify the acquisition of the notions presented during the course as well as the development of autonomy and critical sense in the use of the foreign language.
During the course, tests will be carried out on the learning achieved.

Frontal teaching

courseProgram

The course aims to develop the knowledge of the foreign language by studying the translation problems of a written and oral text, from the Spanish to the Italian language, paying particular attention to the non-secondary aspect of the frequent risk of affinity between these two expressive codes.
The knowledge of the "hispanoblante" world as a viaticum of intercultural competence will also be taken into consideration, focusing on the expressive modalities of the Spanish language as used in/by the media, in/by tourism, in/by the law, in/by journalism, in/by advertising, in/by politics.
The key functions of these languages ​​(information, persuasion, etc.) will be fathomed first from a theoretical point of view, then from a practical one, to induce students to criticize linguistic mechanisms (circumlocution, repetition, metaphor, etc.), which plays a strategic role in the construction of the discourse according to its aims and pragmatic characteristics.

examMode

The exam consists of an oral test. The objective of the oral test is to verify the acquisition of the notions presented during the course as well as the development of autonomy and critical sense in the use of the foreign language.
During the course, tests will be carried out on the learning achieved.

courseProgram

The course programme will follow the chronological course of medieval history, from the first centuries following the decline of the Latin Roman Empire to the mid-15th century. The leitmotif will be the changes in borders, political systems, socio-economic identities, and the main European political and territorial entities. This general course is punctuated by some lectures dedicated instead to the reading and exegesis of some historical evidence, of various types: from documentary sources to literary ones, from figurative texts to monumental complexes and so on.

examMode

The final examination consists of an interview starting with a number of questions, both general and on more specific topics, and aims to test both the notions learned and the ability to develop and coherently articulate a discourse on the broader subject. The ability to connect and relate events and phenomena that occurred in different areas of medieval Europe and the Mediterranean basin is considered essential for positive assessment.
