Integrated course unit module: LITERARY CRITICISM AND COMPARATIVE LITERATURE

Print

Learning objectives

Shaping the capacity to read the dynamics and interplay of genres, while educating to read and evaluate the questions raised by themes, forms, and other textual issues.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of literary problems, literary modernity and Italian literary history

Course unit content

Title of the course: Planning Humanity(/ies). Education novels (and a playbook, too).

After an introductive section, aimed at providing the basic tools for a comparative study of modern literature (themes, genres, characters, poetics), will deal with the profile of a european cultural history. Thereby, novels entail the most important steps of a character's education. Different forms, pedagogical novels, bildungsromane between the XIXth and the first part of the XXTh Century, alternate and bring conflicts to the fore, in a literary tradition which shows the typical gestures of transmitting an education, yielding multiple, at times surprising, thematic effects.
