The French literature course for Master's students aims to deepen the knowledge and refine the analytical (i. e. stylistic, philological, rhetorical and hermeneutic) tools acquired during the Licence. The monographic programme focuses on the reading and in-depth study of a particular genre, author or work. The aim is to deepen the theoretical knowledge and notions of literary history previously assimilated, with a view to putting them to active use.

The course also aims to introduce students to the methodology of scientific research and the preparation of a research project.
The course will therefore provide students:

Through some activities: guided translation of specialized texts and writing (collaborative and otherwise), the course aims to refine their ability to interact, analyze and interpret the sector-specific language.
At the end of the course, students must:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the specialized language: business-commercial and tourism (also relating to habits, customs and social codes)
- have developed a good translation ability.

Learning objectives

The course is aimed at consolidating the knowledge and linguistic skills previously acquired through the deepening of the morphosyntactic structures and linguistic registers, and the expansion of the lexicon, functional to the comprehension and oral and written production of texts of medium / high difficulty, and to enrich cultural knowledge and literary theory with particular reference to XX century literature.
1) Improvement of knowledge and ability to understand text and context in a micro-analytical perspective of literary products
2) Improvement of knowledge and ability to understand applied to the textual analysis of some excerpts from the production of XIX and XX century literature, in a philological and historical-critical perspective
3) Increase of autonomy of judgment following an acquired autonomy of investigation in the panorama of bibliographic tools (paper and electronic) related to the historical-literary disciplines
4) Enhancement of written and oral communication skills
5) Development of the ability to learn through the consideration of texts in function of the history and art technique of their written tradition.

Learning objectives

The course introduces the mechanisms of human communication "mediated" by technologies. During the course, communication products, their narrations and media configurations will be examined, analyzing the languages, the genres and the formats with which they manifest themselves.

1) Objectives in terms of "Knowledge and understanding": at the end of the course the students will have learned the fundamental dynamics of communication processes. In particular, they will know the different verbal and non-verbal expressive modes and their uses in communication contexts and, through the analysis of the different types and characteristics of the media, they will understand the variables necessary for the choice of the most functional media for the specific communication needs.

2) Objectives in terms of "Ability to apply knowledge and understanding": at the end of the course, students will be able to understand the technical terminology and the fundamental notions of effective communication and will be able to critically analyze the effectiveness of communication also in contexts of intermedia, cross-media and trans-media processes.

3) At the end of the course, students must have achieved the following results:
- recognize the dynamics of meaning of different media (knowledge and applied understanding skills);
- know the differences and the underlying logics behind the multiplicity of languages, genres and formats (autonomy of judgment and ability to learn);
- knowing how to present the acquired knowledge, using an appropriate language (communication skills);
- develop specific skills to understand, analyze and produce communication for old and new media (knowledge and applied understanding skills).

Learning objectives

The course intends to provide students with knowledge on the relationship between literature and journalism in the twentieth century based on the use of the critical method, as a method of reading society.
Through a very careful and close reading of the proposed texts, the student will have to develop a philological and hermeneutic reading ability such as to contextualize the text in its historical and political dimension, to then evaluate its effects in terms of public reception.
The course fully develops the individual interpretative, linguistic and critical capacity, at the foundation of the dynamics of action and exercise of every humanistic discipline. Among the objectives, the practical development of the communicative aspects also assumes particular importance due to the knowledge and critical method acquired.
