20710478 - Text and Performance

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.

Text and performance is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It allows students to strengthen their linguistic and communicative skills and their ability to interpret literary phenomena; it also enhances their competence in teaching literature and fosters their capacity for autonomous and accurate critical evaluation.
At the end of the module students will be able to: employ advanced theoretical skills in the field of literary translation as well as in the analysis of the interrelationships between literary language and other expressive forms, also from an intermedial perspective; communicate at an advanced level the disciplinary content.

Requirements: Students must have already taken Literature and Forms.
