- The third year of French Literature involves the in-depth and critical study of some themes of the medieval period as well as the artistic and philosophical culture of this historical period. The course also aims to provide students with the theoretical and methodological tools necessary for the literary and linguistic analysis of the texts examined. The main knowledge acquired therefore concerns:
the knowledge of the main authors, of their works and of the historical context;
the knowledge of the distinctive traits of different literary genres, of poetic forms;
the knowledge of the subjects of literary communication (author, editor, translator) and the history of the text studied over time (translations and luck).
The main skills that provide the ability to apply the knowledge acquired will be:
knowing how to situate an author and his work over time;
knowing how to read, translate, analyze and comment on the texts studied;
know how to use the critical readings proposed by the program and make personal critical considerations. - Prerequisites
- In order to understand and be able to independently use the knowledge and tools of historical and literary analysis provided by the teaching, the student must have a good linguistic-literary knowledge and a good level of French that allows them to understand the texts of the program. The student obtains this level of knowledge after passing the first and second year of French language and literature. Medieval French presents lexical and syntactic difficulties that will be addressed during the lessons.
These prerequisites are valid for both attending and non-attending students. - Teaching methods
- The teaching method includes lectures in the classroom and, if necessary and according to the instructions of the University, also on the platform.
Meetings are planned, even outside the hours of the lessons, with national and international scholars to offer students further suggestions for further study. - Other information
- The teaching uses lectures during which students are encouraged to actively participate with questions, reflections and proposals.
Students will find regularly, on unistudium, the didactic material used during the lessons. This material becomes a full part of the course program.
Students with disabilities and / or SLD: for any information on the University's services, consult the page https://lettere.unipg.it/home/disabilita-e-dsa and contact the Contact Person for the Department.
The lesson timetable is always accompanied by a reception time. Students find the office hours on the teacher's web page.
Students, especially those who cannot regularly attend lessons, are invited to contact the teacher during these hours - Learning verification modality
- The exam includes a single final oral test which consists of a discussion / interview on the topics covered during the course and in-depth study of the texts recommended in the bibliography.
To take the test, the student must have read all the texts indicated in the program and the test serves to ascertain the level of knowledge, understanding and critical analysis achieved by the student.
The interview will also evaluate the student's ability to communicate what has been acquired, the student's ability to understand, synthesize and criticize. The interview will also make it possible to verify the student's ability to communicate what has been acquired with method and properties of language.
The duration of the interview varies depending on the progress of the test itself. Generally, the student is asked to begin, for each module included in the program, with the analysis of the work that he deems closest to his interests. The other texts of the program can however be subject to discussion.
The exam, unless otherwise requested by the student, is held in Italian.
Students with disabilities and / or with SLD: for the modality of carrying out the verification tests, students can take advantage of inclusive technologies, compensatory tools and dispensatory measures provided for by the legislation.
