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.
Arquivos da memória. Literatura, história e política no Brasil/ Memory archives. Literature, history and politics in Brazil is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides advanced critical knowledge and methodologies for the analysis of the literary texts and cultural phenomena of Brazil in a broad time frame, which will allow students to grasp the specific characteristics of contemporary Brazil, but also its deep links with Portugal and the Latin American region. It allows both to consolidate the knowledge learned during the three years and to develop a stronger mastery of updated critical tools, aimed at developing interpretative parameters appropriate to the Brazilian reality and an autonomous interpretation of the literary text. In addition, the theoretical problems of literary translation will be examined in depth, also through specific exercises. Finally, a first theoretical-practical reflection on the teaching of literature will be launched.
At the end of the module students will be able to: autonomously analyze texts and literary phenomena of Brazil in their transcultural, as well as historical-political and cultural dimension; make comparisons with the Lusophone and Latin American realities; write and/or present to the class short analytical essays; read and translate different literary texts communicating the disciplinary contents at an advanced level; select and adapt texts according to the educational contexts.
Prerequisites: students enrolled in other degree programmes are allowed to select this module if they have gained at least 12 CFU in Spanish 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.
