Title and Course Content
World Poetry in Dante’s Comedy
The course aims to read and analyze some parts of Dante’s Comedy. We will trace the intercultural dimension of Dante's work, which is characterized by cosmopolitanism, intertextuality, interdiscursion.
Reading these texts and interpreting them as a critical exercise of the imagination, with the consequent historical-critical commentary, will consolidate three capacities of which the critic Romano Luperini speaks: “the cognitive capacity, widening and deepening specific knowledge of the discipline and of the linguistic and cultural knowledge that is obtained from the dense network of interferences that presides over reading and interpretation; the imaginative capacity, as an existential, emotional and cultural enrichment produced by the contact with the great reservoir of imagination that is literature; the critical capacity, from education to the complexity and the problematic nature of the hermeneutical moment to the partiality and interdialogical character of every truth and to the democratic dialectic of the conflict of interpretations. These three capacities outline the many educational objectives.”
Part of the program is dedicated to practical applications in a learning environment for early childhood.
