The course is aimed at students with a level of linguistic competence at least equal to B1 and aims to study authors and texts belonging to the modern and contemporary French and Francophone literary field. In particular, the analysis of significant works in the original language will allow to develop the understanding and critical interpretation of aspects and dynamics concerning the politics, culture and society of France and the Francophone world from the 19th century to the present, also in reference with the technological changes that characterize the modern era. Another objective will be to provide the tools to develop an analysis methodology based on an interdisciplinary approach.
Expected learning outcomes: students will deepen their language skills, with reference also to disciplinary lexicons, and will be able to decline their knowledge of French culture, its language and its literature in a multidisciplinary perspective.

Programme
The program includes a theoretical part on the main concepts of the Francophone intellectual field, with particular attention given to writers and political actors from Sub-Saharan Africa and the diaspora, as well as to decolonial thought intellectuals. A more practical section will focus on discursive analysis in the transnational context through a selection of authentic texts available on Moodle and a case study. All the texts covered in class will be part of the exam.Core Documentation
