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.
Classicismes et modernités / Classicisms and modernities is one of the characterising modules of the programme. Students will acquire advanced critical knowledge and methodologies through the analysis of literary texts of the Francophone area. In a broad cultural perspective, ranging from the XVI through the XXI centuries, such works form a rich and fluid historiographic horizon, characterized by the succession, intersection or overlap of the notions of classicism and modernity that have been both widely recognized as inherently plural categories. Students will also be able to acquire the theoretical and practical tools related to the teaching of literature and to improve their ability to make independent use of the latest theoretical tools for an in-depth analysis of issues concerning the rewriting and transposition of literary texts, also from an intermedial perspective (adaptation of literary texts for the screen, television, radio, theatre, and other audio-visual media).
At the end of the module students will be able to: communicate at an advanced level the disciplinary content; apply methodological tools and cross-cutting skills to the analysis of literary texts and phenomena, such as rewriting and transposition; employ texts in an educational and professional context; adapt texts from an intermedial perspective.
Prerequisites: students enrolled in other degree programmes are allowed to select this module if they have gained at least 12 CFU in French Literature in their bachelor’s degree, and can certify the attainment of a B2 level of French.
