Graduates in Languages and Literatures for Teaching and Translation obtain advanced knowledge and understanding in all the subject areas of their training in order to
1) consolidate and develop their competence in European and American Studies, with particular attention to their literature of specialisation;
2) deepen their knowledge of the two foreign languages chosen, achieving a heightened competence in the language of specialization and an advancement in the second language;
3) reach enhanced awareness of the linguistic features of their language of specialisation, both from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective;
4) reach an adequate knowledge of the most advanced methodologies for the analysis of literary texts;
5) handle confidently the theoretical-practical tools for teaching and for translation.
La novela hispanoamericana contemporánea (siglos XIX- XXI)/ The contemporary Latin American novel (XIX-XXI centuries) is one of the characterising modules of the programme. The module aims to further consolidate communication skills and increase students’ ability to acquire and analyse data from literary sources belonging to different genres. This will enable students to engage critically with texts in the Hispanic-American context over a period of time spanning the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. The class also allows further refinement of methodological competence in teaching literature, as well as in the translation of literary texts, combining theory input with advanced level practice.
At the end of the module students will be able to: critically analyse the relationships between national literatures in the of the diversified context of cultural geographies, also in relation to the emergence of new literatures and new cultural identities; acquire and analyse linguistic and literary data; critically evaluate texts and literary or cultural phenomena; apply teaching methods to Hispano-American literature; translate literary texts; communicate at an advanced level the disciplinary content.
Requirements: Students must have already taken Archivos de la memoria: literaturas, historia y política en Hispanoamérica / Memory archives: literatures, history, and politics in Latin America.

Programme
The aim of the course is to highlight the extent to which women's bodies and corporalities that do not conform to gender norms have always been a territory in constant re-conquest, as in Latin America. The study of the selected texts is an opportunity to reflect on how some recently published novels have been able to accommodate in the literary space the social, political and cultural instances that on the contemporary horizon deal with the themes of gender violence, dissident identities and sexual expression in the ethnic-social system.Core Documentation
