20702432 - ITALIAN THEATRICAL LITERATURE L.M.

The student will acquire, through the study of specialized subjects, the tools of textual and critical analysis of authors and works of Italian literature related to theatrical production, from the Middle Ages to the contemporary. The acquired analytical ability on exemplary texts must make it theoretically aware of the gender connotations that distinguish the theatrical communicative experience from the literary one, and of those that on the contrary to it homologate.
