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.
Archivos de la memoria: literaturas, historia y política en Hispanoamérica / Memory archives: literatures, history, and politics in Latin America is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides students with advanced applied methodological skills for the analysis of Hispanic American countries literary phenomena and texts. The expanded chronological horizon of the selected bibliography will allow students to recognise the transcultural dimension of the texts and grasp the connections with historical and political issues. The unit also allows students to develop linguistic-communicative skills and the autonomous use of updated theoretical tools for a more deepened cultural and linguistic analysis of literary phenomena and texts, with a special focus on questions related to literature teaching and theories. Students will improve translation skills through translation exercises.
At the end of the module, students will be able to: autonomously analyse Hispanic American countries literary phenomena and texts in their transcultural, historical-political and cultural dimension; write and/or present to the class short analytical essays; read and translate literary texts; communicate the modules contents (advanced level); select and adapt texts to diverse teaching contexts.
Prerequisites: students enrolled in other degree programmes are allowed to select this module if they have gained at least 12 CFU in Hispanic-American Literature in their bachelor’s degree, and can certify the attainment of a B2 level of Spanish.
Note: For LM37 students enrolled in the international learning programme “Estudios Ibéricos e Iberoamericanos” (Spanish – Hispanic-American Literature), this module can be selected as an associated subject (‘materia affine’) to their literature of specialisation.

Programme
By reviewing the main moments and works of the artistic-literary re-elaboration of political violence in Argentina during the years of the military dictatorship (1976-1983), in a perspective that places Argentine authoritarianism within a broader Latin American framework, the course aims to present students artistic and literary products, to be analyzed through tools and methodologies connected to the most recent studies on post-memory and post-testimony. At first, the main concepts that shape the theoretical apparatus will be presented, then the works in the program will be analyzed and discussed. The concluding lectures will be devoted to a reflection on literature as an archive of political and social violence and its didactics in the context of recent studies on the "pedagogy of memory".Core Documentation

Students who participate at least 75% of the lessons are considered attending. Non-attending students should contact the professor at the beginning of the course.Type of evaluation
The student must submit - at least ten days before the oral exam - a final report. The report, of about 10 pages and agreed in advance with the professor, will focus on the topics covered during the lessons. The final check of the learning will be made through a final oral test of about 30 minutes. The interview will consist of questions related to the examination program and aimed at verifying the level of effective understanding of the contents of the course. The final grade will take into account the quality of the final report and the oral test.
