The student will acquire, through the study of specialized themes, the tools of textual and critical analysis of authors and works of Italian literature related to theatrical production, from the Middle Ages to the contemporary. The acquired ability to analyze exemplary texts must make him theoretically aware of the genre connotations that distinguish the theatrical communicative experience from the literary one, and of those that vice versa homologate it to it.
