General aim: to provide students with tools and methodologies to make judgments and promote an independent approach to the critical interpretation and translation of literary text. The Laboratory for text analysis and translation initiates the student to the drafting of the final paper through the application of the knowledge and skills acquired in the Course of Study, in particular at: practising reading, critical analysis and translation into Italian of texts in foreign language; helping the students to reach a good written, in both Italian and foreign language; practising the rewriting and adaptation of texts, in both languages, also in a transmedia perspective; employing argumentative strategies in the different fields of intercultural communication.
In the Text analysis and translation workshop (Portuguese and Brazilian), the student applies the skills and abilities acquired in the subjects of specialisation, with particular reference to critical analysis and translation of texts from the original language into Italian. This activity aims at consolidating the ability to work independently in order to write the final paper.
Students will be able to use bibliographic and technological tools to write the final paper; analyse texts and data and draw critical conclusions.
Pre-requisite: Portuguese and Brazilian Literature II; Portuguese and Brazilian Language and Translation II

Programme
The laboratory aims to strengthen the students' skills in literary analysis of Portuguese texts. A series of lectures will be devoted to general questions related to literary translation and to the specificity of literary texts from culturally non-hegemonic areas. A second cycle of lessons will be dedicated to the analysis of the novel “O Primo Basílio” by the Portuguese novelist Eça de Queirós and its Italian translations. During the course of the exercises, students will have to put the acquired skills into practice, analysing and translating passages from the work of Vasco themselves.Core Documentation

Lectures and workshops. Compulsory attendanceType of evaluation
The verification of the learning takes place through a final report, in which the student must analyze and translate a passage from the novel by Eça de Queirós. The report and the examination bibliography will then be the subject of the oral examination. The oral examination will focus on the commentary on the report and on two questions related to the examination program, aimed at verifying the level of understanding of the contents of the laboratory. teacher profile teaching materials
