Русская Литература (XVIII-XXI Вв.): Жанры И / Russian literature (XVIII-XXI centuries): Genres and forms of modern and contemporary Russian literature is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides students with specialised skills for an understanding of the different literary genres, consolidating a methodological approach to the analysis of literary texts. Special attention will be given to intertextual relations within a common cultural tradition, considering also deviations from the canon and phenomena of hybridisation. At the same time, the module will sharpen students’ ability to apply philological and critical tools to the analysis of texts belonging to different periods, also with a view to planning teaching units.
At the end of the module students will be able to: identify literary genres and the attendant features; analyse literary texts from a threefold intertextual, philological and didactic perspective.
Requirements: Students must have already taken Русская и советская культура (парадигмы и быт)/ Russian and soviet culture (Paradigms and everyday life).
