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.
Literature and forms is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides students with advanced critical knowledge and methodologies for the analysis of literary texts in the Anglophone area allowing them to employ the theoretical and practical tools related to the teaching of literature. It also allows students to enhance their linguistic-communicative skills and fosters their independent use of the most important theoretical tools for an in-depth analysis of literary texts and phenomena.
At the end of the module students will be able to: autonomously analyse literary texts and phenomena employing the theoretical, critical, educational, and practical tools they have acquired; communicate at an advanced level the disciplinary content.
Prerequisites: students enrolled in other degree programmes are allowed to select this module if they have gained at least 12 CFU in English Literature in their bachelor’s degree, and can certify the attainment of a B2 level of English.
Note: for LM37 students enrolled in the international curriculum “English and Anglo-American Studies” (English-Angloamerican Literature), this module can be selected as an associated subject (“materia affine”) to the literature of specialisation.

Programme
The course, entitled ‘Emotions, ethics, and politics in literature from an interartistic and intermedial perspective’, focuses on a number of texts from different periods and literary genres which, through the analysis, exhibition and elaboration of certain emotions, convey an ethical and/or political message aimed at stimulating action and developing greater critical thinking in readers, as well as a deeper sense of justice. The theme is addressed taking into account interartistic and intermedial issues, based on the belief that the encounter between writing and the specific languages of other arts and media can prove particularly fruitful for a wider and more effective dissemination of the message. Some of the texts analysed stem from William Shakespeare’s romance The Tempest (1610), and include Aldous Huxley’s novelistic rewrite Brave New World, Angela Carter’s radio pastiche Come Unto These Yellow Sands (1979), and the film adaptations by Peter Greenaway (1991) and Julie Taymor (2010). Other texts considered include Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) and its 2017 television adaptation; Tom Stoppard’s radio adaptation of his own play Rock’n’roll (2007); and Benjamin Zephaniah’s dub poetry. While in audiovisual texts images complement and enrich the verbal message, in the case of performance poetry and radio plays, it is the voice, sound and music that directly express emotions and stimulate a greater empathetic response.Core Documentation
