Modern Philology

A) Knowledge and understanding (Dublin Descriptor 1) Enhancement and integration of the knowledge acquired in the first Cycle Degree. B) Applying knowledge and understanding (Dublin Descriptor 2) Strengthening and refinement of the analysis skills of the forms of the literary text and its problems. Ability to insert literary, linguistic and critical studies into a wider panorama of historical, philosophical and historical-artistic knowledge. Ability to analyze the literary work in its historical-cultural context (italian and european). C) Making judgments (Dublin Descriptor 3) The autonomy of judgment will be acquired through lessons held in seminar form and with the intervention of external scholars. The student's activities must allow a correct critical interpretation of the texts (forms and problems) and of the documentary sources, through which the student will be able to orient himself correctly, linking the various areas of literary, linguistic and philological knowledge. D) Communication skills (Dublin Descriptor 4) Students must reach a high level of knowledge and understanding of literary texts in order to be able to explain their forms, meaning and circulation, both orally and in writing, showing autonomy of judgment and adequate language skills. These skills will be verified by drafting written papers (term papers, reports on particular aspects of the course, etc.) whose results the student must present orally to the class, in a clear and effective way from a communicative point of view. E) Laerning skills (Dublin Descriptor 5) The acquisition of learning skills will take place by stimulating students to study individually, to organize study time, to bibliographic research, to the critical study of texts and sources, to participation in seminar activities, to the research and drafting of short texts (term papers). At the end of the course, the student must be able to independently design his own research path.
