One of the main aims of this Course of Study is to provide students with advanced knowledge of two foreign literatures related to the two languages of their choice, paying special attention to intercultural and transcultural dynamics. The course also aims at refining their ability to interpret cultural phenomena using the tools and methodologies of literary, cultural, and historical analysis. Anglo-American Literatures II is among the core courses of the "Foreign Literatures" area. It allows students to have a good knowledge and understanding of nineteenth-century Anglo-American literature, also through twentieth- and twenty-first-century rewritings, with special attention to intercultural dynamics and the theoretical-methodological debate; it helps students master the tools and methodologies of literary, cultural, and historical analysis. At the end of the module, students will reach a good critical ability in interpreting exemplary texts in the original language, as well as the necessary competence for translation, rewriting, and adaptation of the texts themselves. They will also be able to re-elaborate and communicate disciplinary contents in a specialized and non-specialized intercultural context. Requirements: Anglo-American Literatures I + English Language and Translation I.
