Programme
The course is divided into three parts. The first part will be dedicated to the acquisition of a practical guide to the use of Italian (vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, syntax, style, basic editorial rules), necessary to build a clear and precise text. The second part will be dedicated to the analysis of some written texts belonging to different types (descriptive, argumentative, narrative), evaluating their internal techniques, style and effectiveness - in dialogue with Elena Ferrante's creative and metalinguistic laboratory. Finally, by learning the elements necessary to build one's own «diffracted authorship», the third part will be dedicated to practical exercises on topics related to the ecological and climatic crisis, with the aim of improving the communication and writing skills of each student.Core Documentation
