The main objective of the course (within the Languages and Cultures for Publishing) is the acquisition of good skills in the field of Spanish literature from 18th to 21st Centuries. The expected learning outcomes are as follows:
- Knowledge and understanding: a depth knowledge of the Spanish literature of the considered period: historical context, texts, genres, movements and authors taught in the course.
- Applied knowledge and understanding skills: the student must acquire the ability to understand complex texts of a certain length as well as implicit meanings both in Italian and at a basic level, in Spanish.
The coursewill provide the coordinates for the knowledge of the main movements, authors and genres of Spanish literature of the twentieth century, focusing in particular on the prose fiction. In particular, we will explore the female Spanish novel of the Middle Century Generation and the works of the contemporary novelist Ángeles Caso. The topics planned as follows:
- History: the Cuban crisis of '98, the Second Republic, Franco, the democratic transition
- Literature: the Avant-gardes, the Generation of '27, the novel during Franco's dictatorship, the
of the Transition
- Texts: the major Spanish writers of the Twentieth Century included in the Anthology uploaded to the e-learning portal. Detailed analysis of one of the two novels by Ángeles Caso included in the bibliography.
Teaching Mode: Teaching will take place in Italian and Spanish through frontal teaching, case studies and e-learning. The course will have an e-learning platform, which will contain mandatory contents and optional materials. For students who do not have a previous Spanish language education, we will consider the possibility of organizing support courses. This program is also valid for non-attending students who, however, are advised to contact the teacher during the reception hours. Throughout the academic year, the individual reception service managed by the teacher is available, at the timetable indicated on the web pages (no need to set a specific appointment).
