Il XX secolo portoghese – Miguel Torga
In concomitanza con il trentesimo anniversario della scomparsa dello scrittore e intellettuale portoghese, il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in quattro moduli, corrispondenti ad altrettanti generi di produzione letteraria, centrato nell’opera di Miguel Torga.
Adolfo Correia da Rocha (1907-1995) assume a 27 anni lo pseudonimo di Miguel Torga per onorare Miguel de Cervantes e Miguel de Unamuno; Torga (erica) era invece la pianta delle montagne dei suoi Trás-os-Montes natii. Collaborò con la rivista “Presença” e fondò la rivista “Sinal”, importanti sostenitrici del “Secondo Modernismo” portoghese. Oppositore al regime dittatoriale di Salazar è stato arrestato dopo la pubblicazione della raccolta poetica O Quarto Dia da Criação do Mundo nel 1936. Per il suo lavoro ottenne di essere nel giugno 1989 il primo vincitore del Premio Camões e fu spesso inserito nelle liste dei possibili vincitori del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura.
I percorsi di lettura proposti saranno corredati da una contestualizzazione storica (il Portogallo di Salazar e la democrazia nata dal 25 aprile 1974), letteraria (il cosiddetto “Secondo Modernismo Portoghese”) e biografica. Gli studenti verranno introdotti all’opera torghiana attraverso la lettura della prosa di Portugal (1950); della grande poesia, scelta e antologizzata dal poeta; della diaristica - passaggi scelti di alcuni dei suoi Diários corrispondenti agli anni 1974 – 1986, ossia, dalla Rivoluzione democratica all’ingresso del Portogallo nella C.E.E. – e, infine, del testo drammatico Mar (1941).

FRANCESCA SAGGINI
Second Semester
8
L-LIN/10
Learning objectives
The teaching of English Literature (livello magistrale) is part of the second-level literary education.
The educational objectives to which the teaching of English Literature II (livello magistrale) aims to contribute are
1) To acquire a specialised knowledge of the cultural and literary traditions of Great Britain.
2) To improve the students' English language skills (written and spoken).
3) To deepen the necessary knowledge of the history of Britain between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
4) Learning to communicate the concepts you have learnt orally and in writing

The Detective Queens of English Literature. Jane Austen and Agatha Christie
The programme examines the origins of the mystery genre and its development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on three authors and related critical texts: Jane Austen, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. In particular, students will analyse the characters, plots and settings of 'crime' in four paradigmatic novels of the 'mystery' genre, broadly defined. Students will practise the collaborative techniques expected of readers and the decoding of textual clues.
examMode
Students must agree the topic of a written paper (in Italian) with the lecturer at least one month before the roll call to which they signed up for. Once they have received the lecturer's approval, they must submit their paper at least two weeks before the roll call. Upon successful completion of the paper, students will be allowed to sit the oral examination (in English) on the day of the roll call for which they have registered.
A pass mark will be awarded for a minimum level of knowledge of the subject and a very good standard of Italian and a good standard of English.
*A written work that is copied, even partially, will result in an immediate fail and the student will have to agree a new topic for the written work with the lecturer*.

FRENCH LITERATURE
ROBERTO ROMAGNINO
Second Semester
8
L-LIN/03
Learning objectives
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. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. 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 not only with theoretical knowledge but also with the hermeneutic tools to understand the texts addressed (1: knowledge and understanding, and 2: applying knowledge and understanding) and the expressive ones to form, nourish, nuance and discuss their judgment on questions of literary history through a meticulous reading of the texts (3: making judgements), as well as to communicate clearly and effectively on these themes in front of a heterogeneous audience (4: communication skills) and extend the reflection in an autonomous through the acquisition of the skills that will allow them to undertake the subsequent course of study (5: learning skills).
This year, the course will focus on 17th-century comedy, and more specifically on Molière's comedies. In particular, we will read Les Précieuses ridicules, Le Misanthrope, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Les Femmes savantes.
examMode
Students who attended classes will choose between a continuous assessment regime (2 In itinere examinations + interview at the end of the semester) or a terminal assessment regime (a single interview at the end of the semester covering the entire program ). The two assessment methods will be illustrated at the start of the course.

Learning objectives
The course aims to develop students' competence at a Master’s level in the linguistic/discursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a Master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused – with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model, b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series, and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues.
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations, particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aimed at the entire understanding of the texts analyzed in the course, of those listed in the bibliography of the course, of notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the issues mentioned above.
The course is focused on the language and discourse of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as a privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.

SPANISH LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION II
MARIA GABRIELLA DIONISI
Second Semester
8
L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION II
FRANCISCO MARIA LEOTE DE ALMEIDA DIAS
Second Semester
8
L-LIN/09
Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.
Bichos / Miguel Torga. Alfragide : Leya, 2016.
III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.
Um reino maravilhoso / Miguel Torga ; il. Graça Morais. 1a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2003.
Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

PRAGMATICS AND ARGUMENTATION
RAFFAELLA PETRILLI
Second Semester

M-FIL/05
Learning objectives
At the end of the course, the student
1) (knowledge and understanding) possesses the critical tools to understand the structures and
functions of narrative language (verbal and non-verbal);
2) (applying knowledge and understanding) is able to recognise the narrative or
descriptive/informative function of empirical texts, based on the enunciative, semantic and
argumentative mechanisms they present;
3) (making judgements) is able to assess independently whether the characteristics of texts
(enunciative, semantic, argumentative) enable the intended communicative goals to be achieved;
4) (communication skills) can elaborate or modify text structures in written or oral form according
to different communicative goals (narrative-persuasive, descriptive-explicative);
5) (learning skills) can distinguish between generic and specific information and implement textual
analytical observation procedures.
The course analyses the work of art with the tools of semiotics, observing the work as the effect of the activity of text production, which establishes an intersubjective author/user relationship through the use of semiotic tools (signs and symbols, textuality, contexts).
The semiotic aspect of artistic production will be illustrated through the notions of:
- index, symbol, typology of languages (verbal, visual);
- text production activities;
- expression and description;
- figurative language and plastic language;
- languages and purpose;
- visual communication and cognitive theories of the ‘narrative mind’.
Enunciative, semantic and argumentative indicators in artistic texts will be illustrated through exercises in the analysis of works of art.
At the end of the course the student:
1) (knowledge and comprehension skills) possesses the critical tools for the semiological definition of the artistic text (plastic-figurative, performance etc.);
2) (applied knowledge and comprehension skills) knows how to identify in empirical works the semiotic devices of the language of the visual arts (plastic-figurative dimension, narration, mimesis, function and type of intersubjectivity etc.);
3) (autonomy of judgement) is able to autonomously assess the function and effectiveness of the enunciative mechanisms of visual languages;
4) (communication skills) is able to elaborate in written or oral form semiological analyses of works of art;
5) (learning ability) can distinguish the constants and variables, over time and across cultures, of art languages.
examMode
The final evaluation is written and consists in answering three open-ended questions, which the student chooses among the ten that will be proposed. Answers are assessed orally upon delivery of the paper.

L-LIN/12
Learning objectives
The course aims to develop students' competence at a Master’s level in the linguistic/discursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a Master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused – with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model, b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series, and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues.
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations, particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aimed at the entire understanding of the texts analyzed in the course, of those listed in the bibliography of the course, of notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the issues mentioned above.

SPANISH LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION II
MARIA GABRIELLA DIONISI
Second Semester
8
L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION II
FRANCISCO MARIA LEOTE DE ALMEIDA DIAS
Second Semester

L-LIN/09
Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.
Bichos / Miguel Torga. Alfragide : Leya, 2016.
III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Learning objectives
The course aims to analyze and deepen the role of geographic information in the light of the profound changes due to globalization.
Geographic information no longer concerns only the production and display of a cartography, but is becoming the solution to support the political decisions of a territory, thanks to the ability to integrate and analyze geographic data and data deriving from various other sources
1) knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the information geography
2) applying knowledge and understanding of geographic plan
3) communication skills and critical elaboration of the argumentation and the logical organization of the geographical discourse;
4) making judgements and critical reading of a geographical essay.
5) learning skills
After a brief review of what is the information value in the economic globalization process, taking into account the theme of the Geographic Information and the latest theories on smart and green economy. We will deepen the potentials of the Geographic Information Systems with a special focus on the relationship between population and inhabited territories in order to allow the knowledge of organizing the urban, rural and mountain touristic space.
examMode
The exam will prove the required knowledge, the ability to apply it and elaborate autonomously an appropriate geographical discourse, using proper scientific terminology and demonstrating capacity to logical argumentation, control of the topics and criticism.

M-FIL/05
Learning objectives
At the end of the course, the student
1) (knowledge and understanding) possesses the critical tools to understand the structures and
functions of narrative language (verbal and non-verbal);
2) (applying knowledge and understanding) is able to recognise the narrative or
descriptive/informative function of empirical texts, based on the enunciative, semantic and
argumentative mechanisms they present;
3) (making judgements) is able to assess independently whether the characteristics of texts
(enunciative, semantic, argumentative) enable the intended communicative goals to be achieved;
4) (communication skills) can elaborate or modify text structures in written or oral form according
to different communicative goals (narrative-persuasive, descriptive-explicative);
5) (learning skills) can distinguish between generic and specific information and implement textual
analytical observation procedures.
The course analyses the work of art with the tools of semiotics, observing the work as the effect of the activity of text production, which establishes an intersubjective author/user relationship through the use of semiotic tools (signs and symbols, textuality, contexts).
The semiotic aspect of artistic production will be illustrated through the notions of:
- index, symbol, typology of languages (verbal, visual);
- text production activities;
- expression and description;
- figurative language and plastic language;
- languages and purpose;
- visual communication and cognitive theories of the ‘narrative mind’.
Enunciative, semantic and argumentative indicators in artistic texts will be illustrated through exercises in the analysis of works of art.
At the end of the course the student:
1) (knowledge and comprehension skills) possesses the critical tools for the semiological definition of the artistic text (plastic-figurative, performance etc.);
2) (applied knowledge and comprehension skills) knows how to identify in empirical works the semiotic devices of the language of the visual arts (plastic-figurative dimension, narration, mimesis, function and type of intersubjectivity etc.);
3) (autonomy of judgement) is able to autonomously assess the function and effectiveness of the enunciative mechanisms of visual languages;
4) (communication skills) is able to elaborate in written or oral form semiological analyses of works of art;
5) (learning ability) can distinguish the constants and variables, over time and across cultures, of art languages.
examMode
The final evaluation is written and consists in answering three open-ended questions, which the student chooses among the ten that will be proposed. Answers are assessed orally upon delivery of the paper.

Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a Master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused – with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model, b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series, and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues.
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations, particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aimed at the entire understanding of the texts analyzed in the course, of those listed in the bibliography of the course, of notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.

L-LIN/14
Learning objectives
The course offers the possibility to improve and consolidate the linguistic knowledge acquired during the bachelor and to gain specific competences in the following areas: linguistic-stylistic analysis of textual and grammatical phenomena; stylistic variation; diamesic variation and in contrastive linguistics.
The student has to demonstrate that he has gained knowledge on how to analyses literary texts from a linguistic point of view.
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.
With regard to the linguistic part, the vocabulary and registers (functional styles) of Russian will be studied in depth, as well as a reflection on the morphosyntax of Russian which integrates with previous linguistic knowledge.
As far as the cultural-historical-literary and literary-theoretical part is concerned, the course is divided into two parts (corresponding to the two semesters).
examMode
The assessment method will be defined during the II semester (a.y. 2023/2024), based on the pandemic trend.
The exam consists of a written part, a linguistic test and an oral part.
As a general rule, students taking this exam must have previously passed (at least) the B2/C1 final test with the related language expert dr. A. Fedortsova (see "passaporto linguistico").
The minimum passing grade is 18/30.

SPANISH LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION II
MARIA GABRIELLA DIONISI
Second Semester
8
L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION II
FRANCISCO MARIA LEOTE DE ALMEIDA DIAS
Second Semester

L-LIN/09
Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.

III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.
Bichos / Miguel Torga. Alfragide : Leya, 2016.
III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Learning objectives
The course is an in-depth study of the knowledge of the History of Early Modern Art acquired during the Bachelor course. The themes proposed each time focus on specific aspects, areas and chronologies. In this way, students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of a segment of the discipline, either in terms of single works of art or monumental complexes, or from the bibliographical point of view. The latter aspect aims at developing argumentative skills, critical reflections, in particular concerning the bibliography, in order to develop a critical spirit and autonomy of judgement, essential elements to move from study to research. The critical approach to the works of art and to their bibliography will also allow the acquisition of specialized terminology and the consequent development of communication skills. The in-depth studies, which will be developed through presentations in the classroom and subsequently in written papers, may eventually be developed in the master's thesis.
Section 1 will focus on a specific theme, section 2 on research methods.
Farnese residences and sites in Tuscia and their pictorial decorations (unit 1).
The course is devoted to the study of Farnesian residences and sites in Tuscia, with particular attention to their pictorial decoration. In this context, special attention will be given to the palace of Tiberio Crispo in Bolsena, the Farnese Palace in Gradoli and the Farnesian Fortress in Capodimonte. In this context we will consider, urban interventions and urban transformations promoted by the household in the Duchy of Castro: urban interventions in Ronciglione, Viterbo and Caprarola. Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, because of its importance, will be a point of reference both for issues pertaining to its design and those related to its pictorial decoration. The vicissitudes of the Farnese family in the late fifteenth century and during the sixteenth century will provide the necessary background for approaching the themes that will gradually be discussed in the course. Classroom lectures will be supplemented by visits to the various sites, privileging de visu knowledge of what is covered in the course.
examMode
The final examination will consist in the presentation and discussion of the final paper, the topic of which will be agreed with the professor. As well as in an colloquium that will focus on the topics discussed during the course and on the examination materials.

Il XX secolo portoghese – Miguel Torga
In concomitanza con il trentesimo anniversario della scomparsa dello scrittore e intellettuale portoghese, il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in quattro moduli, corrispondenti ad altrettanti generi di produzione letteraria, centrato nell’opera di Miguel Torga.
Adolfo Correia da Rocha (1907-1995) assume a 27 anni lo pseudonimo di Miguel Torga per onorare Miguel de Cervantes e Miguel de Unamuno; Torga (erica) era invece la pianta delle montagne dei suoi Trás-os-Montes natii. Collaborò con la rivista “Presença” e fondò la rivista “Sinal”, importanti sostenitrici del “Secondo Modernismo” portoghese. Oppositore al regime dittatoriale di Salazar è stato arrestato dopo la pubblicazione della raccolta poetica O Quarto Dia da Criação do Mundo nel 1936. Per il suo lavoro ottenne di essere nel giugno 1989 il primo vincitore del Premio Camões e fu spesso inserito nelle liste dei possibili vincitori del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura.
I percorsi di lettura proposti saranno corredati da una contestualizzazione storica (il Portogallo di Salazar e la democrazia nata dal 25 aprile 1974), letteraria (il cosiddetto “Secondo Modernismo Portoghese”) e biografica. Gli studenti verranno introdotti all’opera torghiana attraverso la lettura della prosa di Portugal (1950); della grande poesia, scelta e antologizzata dal poeta; della diaristica - passaggi scelti di alcuni dei suoi Diários corrispondenti agli anni 1974 – 1986, ossia, dalla Rivoluzione democratica all’ingresso del Portogallo nella C.E.E. – e, infine, del testo drammatico Mar (1941).
Contesto storico: Dal Portogallo di Salazar al Portogallo dei Garofani
Contesto Letterario: Il secondo modernismo portoghese
Contesto biografico: Adolfo e Miguel

FRENCH LITERATURE
ROBERTO ROMAGNINO
First Semester

L-LIN/03
Learning objectives
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. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. 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:
1. with solid theoretical knowledge (1: knowledge and understanding);
2. with the hermeneutic tools to understand the texts addressed (2: applying knowledge and understanding);
3. with the expressive tools to form, nourish, nuance and discuss their judgment on questions of literary history through a meticulous reading of the texts (3: making judgements);
4. with the theoretical and expressive tools to communicate clearly and effectively on these themes in front of a heterogeneous audience (4: communication skills);
5. with the knowledge and the tools to extend the reflection in an autonomous through the acquisition of the skills that will allow them to undertake the subsequent course of study (5: learning skills).
This year, the course will focus on 17th-century comedy, and more specifically on Molière's comedies. In particular, we will read Les Précieuses ridicules, Le Misanthrope, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Les Femmes savantes.
examMode
Students who attended classes will choose between a continuous assessment regime (2 In itinere examinations + interview at the end of the semester) or a terminal assessment regime (a single interview at the end of the semester covering the entire program ). The two assessment methods will be illustrated at the start of the course.

Learning objectives
Adaptation and transcodification in present fiction
The course aims to develop students’ competence at a master’s level in the linguistic/discoursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as a privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:

L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.

II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.

III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Learning objectives
Adaptation and transcodification in present fiction
The course aims to develop students' competence at a Master’s level in the linguistic/discursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a Master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused – with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model, b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series, and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues.
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations, particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aimed at the entire understanding of the texts analyzed in the course, of those listed in the bibliography of the course, of notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the issues mentioned above.
The course is focused on the language and discourse of audio-visual contemporary narratives.

SPANISH LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION
MARIA GABRIELLA DIONISI
First Semester

L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION
FRANCISCO MARIA LEOTE DE ALMEIDA DIAS
First Semester

L-LIN/09
Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.
Bichos / Miguel Torga. Alfragide : Leya, 2016.
III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.
Um reino maravilhoso / Miguel Torga ; il. Graça Morais. 1a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2003.
Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.

Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.

III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Adaptation and transcodification in present fiction
The course aims to develop students’ competence at a master’s level in the linguistic/discoursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as a privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused - with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model; b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations: particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aim at a full understanding of the texts analysed in the course, of those listed in the course bibliography, and of the notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the above-mentioned issues.
The course is focused on the language and discourse of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as a privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
examMode
Written exam based on a series of questions aimed at evaluating the theoretical and methodological knowledge in the field of language and discourse of analysis of audio-visual contemporary narratives in English and adaptation as inter-semiotic translation practice.

Adaptation and transcodification in present fiction
The course aims to develop students' competence at a Master’s level in the linguistic/discursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a Master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused – with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model, b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series, and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues.
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations, particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aimed at the entire understanding of the texts analyzed in the course, of those listed in the bibliography of the course, of notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the issues mentioned above.
The course is focused on the language and discourse of audio-visual contemporary narratives.

Learning objectives
The discipline aims to raise awareness of the different aspects of the cultural and literary history of Portuguese-speaking countries, highlighting the aspects of uniformity and differentiation in the Portuguese-speaking area. The literary history of Portuguese-speaking countries is closely connected with historical-political dynamics. Interdisciplinary dialogue is therefore fundamental.
Students who have attended this course and studied the proposed materials know the literary forms and the most important figures of Portuguese literature; they know numerous aspects and problems of these literatures in their relationship with History; I am able to analyze texts referring them to the historical and socio-cultural context.
Il XX secolo portoghese – Miguel Torga
In concomitanza con il trentesimo anniversario della scomparsa dello scrittore e intellettuale portoghese, il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in quattro moduli, corrispondenti ad altrettanti generi di produzione letteraria, centrato nell’opera di Miguel Torga.
Adolfo Correia da Rocha (1907-1995) assume a 27 anni lo pseudonimo di Miguel Torga per onorare Miguel de Cervantes e Miguel de Unamuno; Torga (erica) era invece la pianta delle montagne dei suoi Trás-os-Montes natii. Collaborò con la rivista “Presença” e fondò la rivista “Sinal”, importanti sostenitrici del “Secondo Modernismo” portoghese. Oppositore al regime dittatoriale di Salazar è stato arrestato dopo la pubblicazione della raccolta poetica O Quarto Dia da Criação do Mundo nel 1936. Per il suo lavoro ottenne di essere nel giugno 1989 il primo vincitore del Premio Camões e fu spesso inserito nelle liste dei possibili vincitori del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura.
I percorsi di lettura proposti saranno corredati da una contestualizzazione storica (il Portogallo di Salazar e la democrazia nata dal 25 aprile 1974), letteraria (il cosiddetto “Secondo Modernismo Portoghese”) e biografica. Gli studenti verranno introdotti all’opera torghiana attraverso la lettura della prosa di Portugal (1950); della grande poesia, scelta e antologizzata dal poeta; della diaristica - passaggi scelti di alcuni dei suoi Diários corrispondenti agli anni 1974 – 1986, ossia, dalla Rivoluzione democratica all’ingresso del Portogallo nella C.E.E. – e, infine, del testo drammatico Mar (1941).
Contesto storico: Dal Portogallo di Salazar al Portogallo dei Garofani
Contesto Letterario: Il secondo modernismo portoghese
Contesto biografico: Adolfo e Miguel

FRENCH LITERATURE
ROBERTO ROMAGNINO
First Semester

L-LIN/03
Learning objectives
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. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. 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:
1. with solid theoretical knowledge (1: knowledge and understanding);
2. with the hermeneutic tools to understand the texts addressed (2: applying knowledge and understanding);
3. with the expressive tools to form, nourish, nuance and discuss their judgment on questions of literary history through a meticulous reading of the texts (3: making judgements);
4. with the theoretical and expressive tools to communicate clearly and effectively on these themes in front of a heterogeneous audience (4: communication skills);
5. with the knowledge and the tools to extend the reflection in an autonomous through the acquisition of the skills that will allow them to undertake the subsequent course of study (5: learning skills).
This year, the course will focus on 17th-century comedy, and more specifically on Molière's comedies. In particular, we will read Les Précieuses ridicules, Le Misanthrope, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Les Femmes savantes.
examMode
Students who attended classes will choose between a continuous assessment regime (2 In itinere examinations + interview at the end of the semester) or a terminal assessment regime (a single interview at the end of the semester covering the entire program ). The two assessment methods will be illustrated at the start of the course.

SPANISH LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION I
MARIA GABRIELLA DIONISI
First Semester

L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.

III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.
Um reino maravilhoso / Miguel Torga ; il. Graça Morais. 1a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2003.
Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Course title: ‘Aspects of Linguistic History of Europe’.
The course aims to teach the fundamentals of historical linguistics through the internal and external analysis of European linguistic history. It starts with the genealogy - Indo-European and non-Indo-European—passing through the role of the great languages of classical and late antiquity, Greek and Latin, up to the historical formation and spread of national languages.
By the end of the course, students are expected to have mastered the fundamental concepts of historical linguistics, particularly notions of comparative linguistics, linguistic reconstruction, and linguistic historiography; in addition, they are expected to have mastered notions of the origin, history, and description of the languages of ancient, medieval, and modern Europe.
Programme:
The course consists of an institutional part and a monographic part.
1) In its institutional part, the course will present the fundamentals of historical analysis of languages, with particular reference to genealogical comparison and the phenomena of historical contact between the antecedents of the modern languages of Europe.
2) In the monographic part, the origin, history and description of some European languages of particular interest will be dealt with through the commented analysis of a selection of texts.
examMode
The examination will consist of an oral interview in which the student's knowledge of the course contents will be tested.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The course deals with the study of linguistic diversity and its documentation
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS
At the end of the course the students will be able to and will have acquired sufficient skills for:
1) Understanding, discussing and appreciating linguistic diversity
2) Recognise, analyse and comment on different typological linguistic structures
3) Reflect and comment on the correlation between language, culture and society
4) Planning a research fieldwork project, eliciting linguistic data and glossing a text, (socio)linguistic analysis of a text using the main software for linguistic analysis such as Elan, FLEx. Transcriber.
Students will discover what language diversity means. How grammatical structures may be strictly connected to cultural aspects.
What is the situation for language diversity today and what can be done in order to preserve it.
Students will also discover what is language documentation and how it differs from language description.
They will also learn to use software for the analysis of linguistic data such as Audacity, Transcriber, FLEx, ELAN.
examMode
Students will be asked a series of questions aimed at verifying understanding and learning of what was discussed during the lessons.

Adaptation and transcodification in present fiction
The course aims to develop students’ competence at a master’s level in the linguistic/discoursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as a privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused - with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model; b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations: particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aim at a full understanding of the texts analysed in the course, of those listed in the course bibliography, and of the notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the above-mentioned issues.
The course is focused on the language and discourse of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as a privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.

Communication skills: ability to communicate in Arabic at the advanced level, and to describe and discuss on a given topic.
Learning skills: developing language learning strategies and techniques specifically for the contemporary literary Arabic, by using both traditional and digital teaching tools and resources, in order to further studying the subject.
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.
With regard to the linguistic part, the vocabulary and registers (functional styles) of Russian will be studied in depth, as well as a reflection on the morphosyntax of Russian which integrates with previous linguistic knowledge.
As far as the cultural-historical-literary and literary-theoretical part is concerned, the course is divided into two parts (corresponding to the two semesters).

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The course deals with the study of linguistic diversity and its documentation
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS
At the end of the course the students will be able to and will have acquired sufficient skills for:
1) Understanding, discussing and appreciating linguistic diversity
2) Recognise, analyse and comment on different typological linguistic structures
3) Reflect and comment on the correlation between language, culture and society
4) Planning a research fieldwork project, eliciting linguistic data and glossing a text, (socio)linguistic analysis of a text using the main software for linguistic analysis such as Elan, FLEx. Transcriber.
Students will discover what language diversity means. How grammatical structures may be strictly connected to cultural aspects.
What is the situation for language diversity today and what can be done in order to preserve it.
Students will also discover what is language documentation and how it differs from language description.
They will also learn to use software for the analysis of linguistic data such as Audacity, Transcriber, FLEx, ELAN.
examMode
Students will be asked a series of questions aimed at verifying understanding and learning of what was discussed during the lessons.

MEDIA LANGUAGES
DIEGO FEMIA
First Semester
8
M-FIL/05
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).
In the first part of the course, some of the main theoretical researches of semiotics will be discussed and used in an operational way, acquiring an adequate basic terminology and a better understanding of the mechanisms of human communication, verbal and non-verbal.
The second part of the course will introduce textual strategies and semiotic values techniques with concrete examples of texts and media practices (from press, cinema, radio, TV, websites & social networks).
Specific course contents are:
1) Language/languages, communication, information
2) Verbal and non-verbal human communication
3) Symbolic animals: signals, signs and interpretation
4) The ways of meaning: characteristics and potential of the codes
5) Storytelling and technological mediation
6) Semantics of Discrimination
examMode
The final assessment takes place in the form laid down in Article 26 of the University's Didactic Regulations. In assessing the test and awarding the final grade, the following will be taken into account: the level of content knowledge demonstrated, the ability to apply concepts and theories, the ability to analyse, synthesise and argue, the ability to make a critical sense, the use of an appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.
Learning will be verified by written (70%) and oral (30%) examination.
The written test, focusing on the fundamental concepts of the course, will be structured in the form of a test with 16 questions, 14 of which are closed-ended, multiple-choice type (for each of which a maximum of one to three points will be awarded without penalty for errors), and 2 open-ended questions (for each of which a maximum of five points will be awarded without penalty for errors). The written test will account for 70% of the final grade.
The oral test will be held at the end of the written test, on the same day, and will comprise the correction and discussion of the written test and a short interview on the course topics. The oral test will count for the remaining 30% towards the final grade.
ONLY FOR ATTENDING STUDENTS:
During the course, one or two exercises will be carried out on the topics covered in class. Attending students who will do the exercises provided will be able to take advantage of any positive result in the final exam (students attending at least 80% of the lessons, who have carried out the exercises in class, will not have to take the written test on the day of the exam).
Assessment criteria:
- The following will result in excellent marks (e.g. 27-30): a clear exposition of the course content with appropriate language; the full ability to connect the different positions of the authors and the applicative value of the theories; the possession of good critical and argumentation skills.
- The following will result in fair marks (e.g. 22-26): a clear, albeit mnemonic, exposition of the examination texts; a fair ability to connect the contents and theories studied; possession of critical capacity and the use of sufficiently appropriate language.
- The following will result in sufficient marks (e.g. 18-21): a complete but superficial knowledge of the examination programme; a poor ability to connect and apply the course content; only a recognition or poor competence in the appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.
- Negative evaluations will result from: no or little knowledge of the examination programme; evident shortcomings in describing and applying theories and concepts studied; the use of generic and inappropriate language.

examMode
The final assessment takes place in the form laid down in Article 26 of the University's Didactic Regulations. In assessing the test and awarding the final grade, the following will be taken into account: the level of content knowledge demonstrated, the ability to apply concepts and theories, the ability to analyse, synthesise and argue, the ability to make a critical sense, the use of an appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.
Learning will be verified by written (70%) and oral (30%) examination.
The written test, focusing on the fundamental concepts of the course, will be structured in the form of a test with 16 questions, 14 of which are closed-ended, multiple-choice type (for each of which a maximum of one to three points will be awarded without penalty for errors), and 2 open-ended questions (for each of which a maximum of five points will be awarded without penalty for errors). The written test will account for 70% of the final grade.
The oral test will be held at the end of the written test, on the same day, and will comprise the correction and discussion of the written test and a short interview on the course topics. The oral test will count for the remaining 30% towards the final grade.
ONLY FOR ATTENDING STUDENTS:
During the course, one or two exercises will be carried out on the topics covered in class. Attending students who will do the exercises provided will be able to take advantage of any positive result in the final exam (students attending at least 80% of the lessons, who have carried out the exercises in class, will not have to take the written test on the day of the exam).
Assessment criteria:
- The following will result in excellent marks (e.g. 27-30): a clear exposition of the course content with appropriate language; the full ability to connect the different positions of the authors and the applicative value of the theories; the possession of good critical and argumentation skills.
- The following will result in fair marks (e.g. 22-26): a clear, albeit mnemonic, exposition of the examination texts; a fair ability to connect the contents and theories studied; possession of critical capacity and the use of sufficiently appropriate language.
- The following will result in sufficient marks (e.g. 18-21): a complete but superficial knowledge of the examination programme; a poor ability to connect and apply the course content; only a recognition or poor competence in the appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.
- Negative evaluations will result from: no or little knowledge of the examination programme; evident shortcomings in describing and applying theories and concepts studied; the use of generic and inappropriate language.

CONTEMPORARY ITALIAN LITERATURE

First Semester

L-FIL-LET/11
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.
Literature, media, politics: writers and the periodical press
What brings a writer closer to journalism? Is it just an economic question? What does the writer bring to the newspaper more (or less) than the journalist? How do you manage to reconcile the freedom of creation with the measure of the piece at a writing level? What difference in reading a place, a journey, an event can exist between a journalist and a man of letters? What kind of relationship does a man of letters have with power and politics? With the leaders of a newspaper? With the speed of communication? With the public not accustomed to the languages of so-called "high" culture? And how have these relationships changed over the course of the century? And the writers' articles... are they literature? Or are they just a minor series production? Or can journalism even be considered a literary genre in itself?
Through the study of the journalistic collaborations of some of the major writers of the twentieth century and of the contemporary world, the course intends to provide a historical-critical study tool on the relationship between writer and journalism carried out directly in the field, i.e. on the articles, according to a plan that aims to highlight how cultural journalism has transformed over the course of the century from the famous "beautiful writing" to a place for reading and understanding the society in which we live.

L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.

III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Learning objectives
Adaptation and transcodification in present fiction
The course aims to develop students’ competence at a master’s level in the linguistic/discoursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as a privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused - with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model; b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations: particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aim at a full understanding of the texts analysed in the course, of those listed in the course bibliography, and of the notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the above-mentioned issues.

L-FIL-LET/12
Learning objectives
The course will focus on deepening the knowledge of Italian as a language of culture, approached from both internal linguistics (structures) and external linguistics (history, evolution). It will be structured in two parts: the first part dedicated to the study and discussion of certain critical aspects of contemporary Italian language, and the second part focused on examining aspects of Italian culture through the lens of linguistic history.
By the end of the course, students are expected to achieve the following learning outcomes, aligned with the Dublin descriptors:
1) Knowledge and Understanding
Have an in-depth knowledge of the morphosyntax and textuality of contemporary Italian, as well as an understanding of the historical-linguistic dynamics of two or more cultural phenomena relevant to understanding contemporary Italian society.
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding
Be able to enhance skills in morphosyntactic and textual analysis of Italian structures and recognize the central role of linguistic communication in cultural themes that are traditionally seen as identity-defining in Italian history or that are useful for understanding contemporary Italian social dynamics.
3) Making Judgements
Be capable of formulating independent judgments on the topics covered in the course.
4) Communication Skills
Be able to appropriately communicate what has been learned, both orally and in writing.
5) Learning Skills
Be capable of updating one’s knowledge of the cultural and historical-linguistic dynamics of Italian.
The 2024-2025 course (second semester) will be dedicated to the study of journalistic Italian, from its historical background to its evolution over time to contemporary digital journalism. The linguistic analysis of journalistic texts will focus in particular on evolutionary phenomena of contemporary Italian, written and spoken, with particular attention to 4 aspects of morphology and syntax: the use of clitic pronouns, the syntax of the article, the syntactic and textual use of the past participle and the gerund. Students will be involved in in-depth seminars and exercises.

At the end of the course the student must prove:
- Knowledge and comprehension: knowledge of the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the moral philosophy problems of the course and their critical re-examination;
- Ability to apply knowledge and comprehension: To be able to analyse with rigor and attention a complex text - To be able to apply a moral reasoning to particular cases.
The primary objective of the teaching is to offer a) a general introduction to bioethics (origins, history and current trends) and to the most important bioethical issues and b) a general introduction to ethics.
The secondary objective of the course is to compare different perspectives of normative bioethics and critically analyse their theoretical assumptions, structure and applications in the field of bioethics, especially on major issues relating to the beginning of life (abortion, new reproductive technologies, genome editing), end of life and doctor-patient relationship. Central questions include: Is it right to break off the development of a human embryo? Is the fertilised egg cell different from a somatic cell? Is there anything wrong with having a baby born by cloning or using in vitro gametes? Is it right to modify the human genome for the purpose of enhancement? Is it our duty to promote the development of an artificial uterus? Should health operators always respect the patient’s choice? Should people have the right to decide how and when to die? Who decides in medicine for those who are not competent?
examMode
Oral exam. For the rating is used a 30-point scale (passing grade: 18 to 30).
To meet the course requirements students will have to show knowledge and understanding of the material on which they are tested, analytical and argumentative skills, thorough knowledge of lexicon and major topics concerning bioethics, critical thinking skills.

4) Enhancement of communicative skills through the opening of a discussion during the lessons on critical issues addressed with the teacher
(programme valid for attending and non-attending students)
The first module (24 hours) is devoted to the literary culture of the 19th century, with particular regard to the production of the Romantic age. After examining the main characteristics of Romanticism in Europe and examining the major contributions to the classical-romantic polemic in Italy (de Staël, Giordani, Berchet, Pellico, Borsieri, Leopardi, Manzoni), some of the most representative texts of this literary season will be read, analysed and contextualised.
The second module (24 hours) intends to offer an in-depth look at the works of Giacomo Leopardi. Leopardi's poems and prose will be read and commented, with the aim of proposing an interpretation of the poet from Recanati within the literary framework of the Italian and European nineteenth century, reflecting, at the same time, on the influence of his ‘poetical thought’ on twentieth-century culture.

Il XX secolo portoghese – Miguel Torga
In concomitanza con il trentesimo anniversario della scomparsa dello scrittore e intellettuale portoghese, il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in quattro moduli, corrispondenti ad altrettanti generi di produzione letteraria, centrato nell’opera di Miguel Torga.
Adolfo Correia da Rocha (1907-1995) assume a 27 anni lo pseudonimo di Miguel Torga per onorare Miguel de Cervantes e Miguel de Unamuno; Torga (erica) era invece la pianta delle montagne dei suoi Trás-os-Montes natii. Collaborò con la rivista “Presença” e fondò la rivista “Sinal”, importanti sostenitrici del “Secondo Modernismo” portoghese. Oppositore al regime dittatoriale di Salazar è stato arrestato dopo la pubblicazione della raccolta poetica O Quarto Dia da Criação do Mundo nel 1936. Per il suo lavoro ottenne di essere nel giugno 1989 il primo vincitore del Premio Camões e fu spesso inserito nelle liste dei possibili vincitori del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura.
I percorsi di lettura proposti saranno corredati da una contestualizzazione storica (il Portogallo di Salazar e la democrazia nata dal 25 aprile 1974), letteraria (il cosiddetto “Secondo Modernismo Portoghese”) e biografica. Gli studenti verranno introdotti all’opera torghiana attraverso la lettura della prosa di Portugal (1950); della grande poesia, scelta e antologizzata dal poeta; della diaristica - passaggi scelti di alcuni dei suoi Diários corrispondenti agli anni 1974 – 1986, ossia, dalla Rivoluzione democratica all’ingresso del Portogallo nella C.E.E. – e, infine, del testo drammatico Mar (1941).

13041 - FRENCH LITERATURE
ROBERTO ROMAGNINO
Second Year / First Semester
8
L-LIN/03
Learning objectives
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. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. 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 not only with theoretical knowledge but also with the hermeneutic tools to understand the texts addressed (1: knowledge and understanding, and 2: applying knowledge and understanding) and the expressive ones to form, nourish, nuance and discuss their judgment on questions of literary history through a meticulous reading of the texts (3: making judgements), as well as to communicate clearly and effectively on these themes in front of a heterogeneous audience (4: communication skills) and extend the reflection in an autonomous through the acquisition of the skills that will allow them to undertake the subsequent course of study (5: learning skills).
This year, the course will focus on 17th-century comedy, and more specifically on Molière's comedies. In particular, we will read Les Précieuses ridicules, Le Misanthrope, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Les Femmes savantes.
examMode
Students who attended classes will choose between a continuous assessment regime (2 In itinere examinations + interview at the end of the semester) or a terminal assessment regime (a single interview at the end of the semester covering the entire program ). The two assessment methods will be illustrated at the start of the course.

13060 - SPANISH LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION II
MARIA GABRIELLA DIONISI
Second Year / First Semester

L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

L-LIN/09
Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.
Bichos / Miguel Torga. Alfragide : Leya, 2016.
III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.
Um reino maravilhoso / Miguel Torga ; il. Graça Morais. 1a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2003.
Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.
Bichos / Miguel Torga. Alfragide : Leya, 2016.
III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

119894 - PRAGMATICS AND ARGUMENTATION
RAFFAELLA PETRILLI
Second Year / First Semester

M-FIL/05
Learning objectives
At the end of the course, the student
1) (knowledge and understanding) possesses the critical tools to understand the structures and
functions of narrative language (verbal and non-verbal);
2) (applying knowledge and understanding) is able to recognise the narrative or
descriptive/informative function of empirical texts, based on the enunciative, semantic and
argumentative mechanisms they present;
3) (making judgements) is able to assess independently whether the characteristics of texts
(enunciative, semantic, argumentative) enable the intended communicative goals to be achieved;
4) (communication skills) can elaborate or modify text structures in written or oral form according
to different communicative goals (narrative-persuasive, descriptive-explicative);
5) (learning skills) can distinguish between generic and specific information and implement textual
analytical observation procedures.
The course analyses the work of art with the tools of semiotics, observing the work as the effect of the activity of text production, which establishes an intersubjective author/user relationship through the use of semiotic tools (signs and symbols, textuality, contexts).
The semiotic aspect of artistic production will be illustrated through the notions of:
- index, symbol, typology of languages (verbal, visual);
- text production activities;
- expression and description;
- figurative language and plastic language;
- languages and purpose;
- visual communication and cognitive theories of the ‘narrative mind’.
Enunciative, semantic and argumentative indicators in artistic texts will be illustrated through exercises in the analysis of works of art.
At the end of the course the student:
1) (knowledge and comprehension skills) possesses the critical tools for the semiological definition of the artistic text (plastic-figurative, performance etc.);
2) (applied knowledge and comprehension skills) knows how to identify in empirical works the semiotic devices of the language of the visual arts (plastic-figurative dimension, narration, mimesis, function and type of intersubjectivity etc.);
3) (autonomy of judgement) is able to autonomously assess the function and effectiveness of the enunciative mechanisms of visual languages;
4) (communication skills) is able to elaborate in written or oral form semiological analyses of works of art;
5) (learning ability) can distinguish the constants and variables, over time and across cultures, of art languages.
examMode
The final evaluation is written and consists in answering three open-ended questions, which the student chooses among the ten that will be proposed. Answers are assessed orally upon delivery of the paper.

The course aims to develop specific knowledge on contemporary art of the last forty years in Europe. We will examine the languages, the protagonists, the exhibitions, which have contributed to outlining the plural physiognomy of contemporary artistic research against the background of the theoretical debate. In particular, it will be the subject of reflection:
- the broadening of the theoretical and artistic confrontation after the fall of the Berlin Wall in the face of a renewed exchange between Eastern and Western Europe;
- the role of periodic exhibitions (Biennials, Dcoumenta...);
- emergencies related to conflicts, economic crises, migrations, climate change in the vast area of the Mediterranean basin.

Learning objectives
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students must be able to:
1) Recognize the peculiar aspects of contemporary artistic culture with reference to the protagonists, the exhibitions, the critical theory and the languages used
2) Analyze the geo-cultural meanings and contexts of reference
3) Report on the identity characteristics of contemporary artistic practices in the presence of the relative critical and theoretical debate
4) Acquire skills in the approach and analyse of contemporary artworks in a framework of interdisciplinary and transcultural references.
The persistence of memory and its cultural, geographical-territorial, material and immaterial traces is a recurring and central theme for a large part of contemporary artistic research, both as an object of reflection and as a process.
Over a period of time that goes from the 1940s to the present day, the course therefore takes memory in contemporary artistic research as its field of investigation, interrogating some works, artists and exhibitions considered exemplary in this sense. Over this background, the course intends to explore works, artists, exhibition events, elative theoretical and critical debate, and methods put in place to facilitate their documentation, conservation and expressive communication which from time to time have argued the gaze and memory experience.

18173 - HISTORY OF MODERN ART
ENRICO PARLATO
Second Year / Second Semester
8
L-ART/02
Learning objectives
The course is an in-depth study of the knowledge of the History of Early Modern Art acquired during the Bachelor course. The themes proposed each time focus on specific aspects, areas and chronologies. In this way, students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of a segment of the discipline, either in terms of single works of art or monumental complexes, or from the bibliographical point of view. The latter aspect aims at developing argumentative skills, critical reflections, in particular concerning the bibliography, in order to develop a critical spirit and autonomy of judgement, essential elements to move from study to research. The critical approach to the works of art and to their bibliography will also allow the acquisition of specialized terminology and the consequent development of communication skills. The in-depth studies, which will be developed through presentations in the classroom and subsequently in written papers, may eventually be developed in the master's thesis.
Section 1 will focus on a specific theme, section 2 on research methods.
Farnese residences and sites in Tuscia and their pictorial decorations (unit 1).
The course is devoted to the study of Farnesian residences and sites in Tuscia, with particular attention to their pictorial decoration. In this context, special attention will be given to the palace of Tiberio Crispo in Bolsena, the Farnese Palace in Gradoli and the Farnesian Fortress in Capodimonte. In this context we will consider, urban interventions and urban transformations promoted by the household in the Duchy of Castro: urban interventions in Ronciglione, Viterbo and Caprarola. Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, because of its importance, will be a point of reference both for issues pertaining to its design and those related to its pictorial decoration. The vicissitudes of the Farnese family in the late fifteenth century and during the sixteenth century will provide the necessary background for approaching the themes that will gradually be discussed in the course. Classroom lectures will be supplemented by visits to the various sites, privileging de visu knowledge of what is covered in the course.
examMode
The final examination will consist in the presentation and discussion of the final paper, the topic of which will be agreed with the professor. As well as in an colloquium that will focus on the topics discussed during the course and on the examination materials.

L-LIN/08
Learning objectives
The discipline aims to raise awareness of the different aspects of the cultural and literary history of Portuguese-speaking countries, highlighting the aspects of uniformity and differentiation in the Portuguese-speaking area. The literary history of Portuguese-speaking countries is closely connected with historical-political dynamics. Interdisciplinary dialogue is therefore fundamental.
Students who have attended this course and studied the proposed materials know the literary forms and the most important figures of Portuguese literature; they know numerous aspects and problems of these literatures in their relationship with History; I am able to analyze texts referring them to the historical and socio-cultural context.
Il XX secolo portoghese – Miguel Torga
In concomitanza con il trentesimo anniversario della scomparsa dello scrittore e intellettuale portoghese, il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in quattro moduli, corrispondenti ad altrettanti generi di produzione letteraria, centrato nell’opera di Miguel Torga.
Adolfo Correia da Rocha (1907-1995) assume a 27 anni lo pseudonimo di Miguel Torga per onorare Miguel de Cervantes e Miguel de Unamuno; Torga (erica) era invece la pianta delle montagne dei suoi Trás-os-Montes natii. Collaborò con la rivista “Presença” e fondò la rivista “Sinal”, importanti sostenitrici del “Secondo Modernismo” portoghese. Oppositore al regime dittatoriale di Salazar è stato arrestato dopo la pubblicazione della raccolta poetica O Quarto Dia da Criação do Mundo nel 1936. Per il suo lavoro ottenne di essere nel giugno 1989 il primo vincitore del Premio Camões e fu spesso inserito nelle liste dei possibili vincitori del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura.
I percorsi di lettura proposti saranno corredati da una contestualizzazione storica (il Portogallo di Salazar e la democrazia nata dal 25 aprile 1974), letteraria (il cosiddetto “Secondo Modernismo Portoghese”) e biografica. Gli studenti verranno introdotti all’opera torghiana attraverso la lettura della prosa di Portugal (1950); della grande poesia, scelta e antologizzata dal poeta; della diaristica - passaggi scelti di alcuni dei suoi Diários corrispondenti agli anni 1974 – 1986, ossia, dalla Rivoluzione democratica all’ingresso del Portogallo nella C.E.E. – e, infine, del testo drammatico Mar (1941).
Contesto storico: Dal Portogallo di Salazar al Portogallo dei Garofani
Contesto Letterario: Il secondo modernismo portoghese
Contesto biografico: Adolfo e Miguel

13010 - FRENCH LITERATURE
ROBERTO ROMAGNINO
First Year / First Semester

L-LIN/03
Learning objectives
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. Through an in-depth reading of the texts, students will be encouraged to make increasingly effective use of their ability to work independently and to form critical judgements about seventeenth- and eighteenth-century texts, while learning to master the tools of the discipline and to use secondary bibliography effectively and question it dialectically. 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:
1. with solid theoretical knowledge (1: knowledge and understanding);
2. with the hermeneutic tools to understand the texts addressed (2: applying knowledge and understanding);
3. with the expressive tools to form, nourish, nuance and discuss their judgment on questions of literary history through a meticulous reading of the texts (3: making judgements);
4. with the theoretical and expressive tools to communicate clearly and effectively on these themes in front of a heterogeneous audience (4: communication skills);
5. with the knowledge and the tools to extend the reflection in an autonomous through the acquisition of the skills that will allow them to undertake the subsequent course of study (5: learning skills).
This year, the course will focus on 17th-century comedy, and more specifically on Molière's comedies. In particular, we will read Les Précieuses ridicules, Le Misanthrope, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme, Les Femmes savantes.
examMode
Students who attended classes will choose between a continuous assessment regime (2 In itinere examinations + interview at the end of the semester) or a terminal assessment regime (a single interview at the end of the semester covering the entire program ). The two assessment methods will be illustrated at the start of the course.

Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills.
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.

II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.

III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Adaptation and transcodification in present fiction
The course aims to develop students' competence at a Master’s level in the linguistic/discursive field of audio-visual contemporary narratives. The following issues will be specifically examined: a) evolution of Cinema and TV series language (comparative analysis of screening/broadcasting modalities within TV series and Cinema communication model, characters of contemporary forms, development peculiarities); b) adaptation as intersemiotic translation and as privileged expressive modality of contemporary TV and cinema narratives.
Furthermore, concerning the Dublin descriptors, the aim is to develop:
1) Knowledge and Understanding at a Master’s level of analytical and methodological research tools. In particular, the linguistic and discursive analysis will be focused – with a multidisciplinary approach – on a) the development of TV Fiction and Cinema linguistic and textual model, b) the adaptation of literary text in its TV series, and Cinema transpositions and analysis of the relative translation processes and issues.
2) Applying Knowledge and Understanding to linguistic-discursive analysis, translation studies (inter-semiotic translation in particular), and individual and/or group presentation within the above-mentioned research domains.
3) Making Judgements: developing skills to select and research relevant texts and processes (to verify their peculiarities and features) in the field of linguistic-discursive analysis and translation adaptations, particularly in the area of transposition from literary text to TV Series and Cinema, of related modalities of access as well as in the area of reception evaluation; developing skills to evaluate criticism on these issues, and to evaluate their analysis and research.
4) Communication Skills aimed at the entire understanding of the texts analyzed in the course, of those listed in the bibliography of the course, of notions and methodology needed for communicative interaction during individual/group presentations.
5) Learning Skills: acquisition of a specific competence in the field of a) the field of linguistic-discursive analysis in contemporary TV Series and Cinema; of TV and Cinema adaptations as intersemiotic translation practice. Developing skills in Public Speaking to present group and/or individual works on the issues mentioned above.
The course is focused on the language and discourse of audio-visual contemporary narratives.

L-LIN/07
Learning objectives
The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
- have developed good translation skills
The subject of the course is the evolution and variants of the Spanish language in the Hispano-American territories, from the "discovery" to today. The program includes an in-depth study of the following topics:
Translation theories
Concept of fidelity and equivalence
Simultaneous translation techniques
Translation techniques and strategies from Spanish to Italian
The Spanish of America
examMode
The achievement of the objectives will be verified through a written test (translation from Spanish into Italian) and by an oral test.
Passing the written test, which lasts 1 hour, is an essential prerequisite for taking the oral test.
The oral interview aims to verify the correct acquisition of the topics presented in the texts in the program; the level of knowledge acquired on the topics covered in the course, the effectiveness and clarity of the presentation.
The final grade will take into account the results achieved in the various tests.

Learning objectives
The discipline aims to provide students with technical and practical knowledge of the fundamental principles of translation. Furthermore, it provides the support of courses held by linguistic collaborators whose mother tongue is Portuguese, divided into several levels, aimed at practical learning of the language.
The study of the linguistic history of Portugal will be accompanied by translation exercises of historical, theoretical and literary texts aimed at expanding the basic vocabulary, dealing with problems of understanding and rendering the text and putting the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice.
Dentro di un piano organico di studi e in concatenazione con il corso di LETTERATURE E CULTURE DEI PAESI DI LINGUA PORTOGHESE I e II, il corso di LINGUA E TRADUZIONE PORTOGHESE E BRASILIANA I e II, propone agli studenti di LINGUE E CULTURE PER LA COMUNICAZIONE INTERNAZIONALE (LM-37) nel primo semestre del A.A. 2024-2025, il seguente percorso diviso in tre moduli e un laboratorio di traduzione in collaborazione con i laureandi dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale (Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues):
I – TORGA “TRADUTTORE”
Osservatore profondo della realtà, Miguel Torga si è trovato a “tradurre” in letteratura la natura umana oltre che la realtà politica, storica e geografica del suo paese. Lo ha fatto attraverso la poesia, così come attraverso il registro diaristico e la narrativa, nelle diverse estensioni e generi in cui l’ha adoperata.
Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.
Fronteira e altri racconti / Miguel Torga ; a cura di Maria Helena Almeida Esteves, Venezia : Marsilio, 1986.
La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993 / Miguel Torga ; a cura e con un saggio di Massimo Rizzante, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020.
Novos contos da montanha : contos / Miguel Torga ; rev. Clara Vitorino. 2a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2007.
Diário / Miguel Torga ; rev. Vasco Rosa. 5a ed. Alfragide, 4 vols. : D. Quixote, 2010.
II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.
L'arca di Noé / Miguel Torga ; traduzione dal portoghese di Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda, Pisa : ETS, 1999.
Bichos / Miguel Torga. Alfragide : Leya, 2016.
III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.
Um reino maravilhoso / Miguel Torga ; il. Graça Morais. 1a ed. Lisboa : Dom Quixote, 2003.
Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, EMI, 1986.
IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

Si prenderanno in analisi alcuni testi raccolti dei Diário, che ha pubblicato lungo sessant’anni in sedici volumi, dal 1933 al 1993, e alcune pagine dei Novos Contos da Montanha, opere tradotte entrambe in italiano, per riflettere sull’efficacia di tale traduzione della realtà in parole.

II – TRADURRE TORGA
Poco tradotto in Italia, paese che ha solitamente accolto bene gli autori contemporanei di espressione portoghese, Miguel Torga è tuttavia presente dal 1974 con Novelle e poesie (Roma : Magma, 1974), avendo suscitato negli ultimi anni, in particolare, un rinnovato interesse. Si pensi, ad esempio, alle traduzioni di Valeria Tocco (Portogallo, [Livorno] : Vittoria Iguazu Editora, 2022), Massimo Rizzante (La vita inedita : diario antologia 1933-1993, Milano ; Udine : Mimesis, 2020) o alle Poesie, varie volte ripubblicate, a cura di Luigi Panarese.
Dopo una panoramica generale della ricezione di Torga in Italia, ci si soffermerà sulla versione italiana di Bichos, (L'arca di Noé, Pisa), tradotta dal portoghese da Domenico Corradini Broussard e Sebastiana Fadda.

III – TORGA INTER ARTES
A conclusione del percorso torghiano, si proporrà l’analisi della “traduzione” in diversi codici artistici dell’opera letteraria del nostro autore, cioè il dialogo inter artes tra le parole di Miguel Torga e le arti visive, musicali e cinematografiche.
Verrà analizzata l’opera grafica dell’artista Graça Morais a partire del testo Um Reino Maravilhoso, pubblicata in volume dalla casa editrice Dom Quixote nel 2003. Di seguito, la comunicazione tra la musica del compositore Caldeira Cabral e i testi di Torga che hanno come riferimento il Natale - di cui è risultato l’album Natal: Miguel Torga Com Pedro Caldeira Cabral, (EMI, 1986). Infine, l’opera del cineasta João Botelho A Terra Antes do Céu, del 2007, secondo episodio della trilogia dedicata alla regione natia di Torga, Trás-os-Montes, un incontro di artisti riuniti per celebrare la genialità dello scrittore.

IV – LABORATORIO DI TRADUZIONE
Si proporrà agli studenti come esercizio pratico la traduzione del testo originale “O Rei Poeta e o Papa Erudito - Um Guia Turístico entre Odivelas e Viterbo”, elaborato dai laureandi in Gestione Turistica, Patrimonio Storico, Artistico e Naturale dell’ISCE – Instituto Superior de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, coordinati dal Prof. Bonifácio Rodrigues.
Il testo si basa sulle figure storiche di Pedro Hispano, l’unico papa lusitano, a cui è intitolata la cattedra di portoghese di Viterbo, e del re Dom Dinis, grande volto culturale dell’Europa medievale, oltre che capo del giovane regno del Portogallo. Da questo “dialogo” immaginato sorge una guida turistica tra le città italiana e portoghese, di cui – con questa traduzione – si potrà pensare in una futiua edizione bilingue.
Al termine del lavoro è previsto l’incontro on line tra gli studenti portoghesi e italiani.
Oltre alla bibliografia consigliata, sarà distribuito materiale didattico durante le lezioni e alcuni testi di difficile accesso saranno resi disponibili sulla piattaforma Moodle.

14786 - ARABIC LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE I
First Year / Second Semester
8
L-OR/12
Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding: developing and improving the student’s previously acquired knowledge and language skills through the study of more complex grammatical structures and vocabulary, in order to understand and produce oral and written texts corresponding to the advanced level.
Applying knowledge and understanding: analyzing literary works or texts – in the original language or in translation – of the most relevant authors, movements and genres of Arabic literature in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Making judgements: ability to self-assess and to critically discuss the topics of the program, and to analyze the texts dealt with in class.
Communication skills: ability to communicate in Arabic at the advanced level, and to describe and discuss on a given topic.
Learning skills: developing language learning strategies and techniques specifically for the contemporary literary Arabic, by using both traditional and digital teaching tools and resources, in order to further studying the subject.
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).
In the first part of the course, some of the main theoretical researches of semiotics will be discussed and used in an operational way, acquiring an adequate basic terminology and a better understanding of the mechanisms of human communication, verbal and non-verbal.
The second part of the course will introduce textual strategies and semiotic values techniques with concrete examples of texts and media practices (from press, cinema, radio, TV, websites & social networks).
Specific course contents are:
1) Language/languages, communication, information
2) Verbal and non-verbal human communication
3) Symbolic animals: signals, signs and interpretation
4) The ways of meaning: characteristics and potential of the codes
5) Storytelling and technological mediation
6) Semantics of Discrimination
examMode
The final assessment takes place in the form laid down in Article 26 of the University's Didactic Regulations. In assessing the test and awarding the final grade, the following will be taken into account: the level of content knowledge demonstrated, the ability to apply concepts and theories, the ability to analyse, synthesise and argue, the ability to make a critical sense, the use of an appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.
Learning will be verified by written (70%) and oral (30%) examination.
The written test, focusing on the fundamental concepts of the course, will be structured in the form of a test with 16 questions, 14 of which are closed-ended, multiple-choice type (for each of which a maximum of one to three points will be awarded without penalty for errors), and 2 open-ended questions (for each of which a maximum of five points will be awarded without penalty for errors). The written test will account for 70% of the final grade.
The oral test will be held at the end of the written test, on the same day, and will comprise the correction and discussion of the written test and a short interview on the course topics. The oral test will count for the remaining 30% towards the final grade.
ONLY FOR ATTENDING STUDENTS:
During the course, one or two exercises will be carried out on the topics covered in class. Attending students who will do the exercises provided will be able to take advantage of any positive result in the final exam (students attending at least 80% of the lessons, who have carried out the exercises in class, will not have to take the written test on the day of the exam).
Assessment criteria:
- The following will result in excellent marks (e.g. 27-30): a clear exposition of the course content with appropriate language; the full ability to connect the different positions of the authors and the applicative value of the theories; the possession of good critical and argumentation skills.
- The following will result in fair marks (e.g. 22-26): a clear, albeit mnemonic, exposition of the examination texts; a fair ability to connect the contents and theories studied; possession of critical capacity and the use of sufficiently appropriate language.
- The following will result in sufficient marks (e.g. 18-21): a complete but superficial knowledge of the examination programme; a poor ability to connect and apply the course content; only a recognition or poor competence in the appropriate philosophical-linguistic vocabulary.
- Negative evaluations will result from: no or little knowledge of the examination programme; evident shortcomings in describing and applying theories and concepts studied; the use of generic and inappropriate language.

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.
Literature, media, politics: writers and the periodical press
What brings a writer closer to journalism? Is it just an economic question? What does the writer bring to the newspaper more (or less) than the journalist? How do you manage to reconcile the freedom of creation with the measure of the piece at a writing level? What difference in reading a place, a journey, an event can exist between a journalist and a man of letters? What kind of relationship does a man of letters have with power and politics? With the leaders of a newspaper? With the speed of communication? With the public not accustomed to the languages of so-called "high" culture? And how have these relationships changed over the course of the century? And the writers' articles... are they literature? Or are they just a minor series production? Or can journalism even be considered a literary genre in itself?
Through the study of the journalistic collaborations of some of the major writers of the twentieth century and of the contemporary world, the course intends to provide a historical-critical study tool on the relationship between writer and journalism carried out directly in the field, i.e. on the articles, according to a plan that aims to highlight how cultural journalism has transformed over the course of the century from the famous "beautiful writing" to a place for reading and understanding the society in which we live.

Students will have to demonstrate in the oral interview their knowledge of the exam topics and their ability to analyze text and content of the addressed works.

Literature, media, politics: writers and the periodical press
What brings a writer closer to journalism? Is it just an economic question? What does the writer bring to the newspaper more (or less) than the journalist? How do you manage to reconcile the freedom of creation with the measure of the piece at a writing level? What difference in reading a place, a journey, an event can exist between a journalist and a man of letters? What kind of relationship does a man of letters have with power and politics? With the leaders of a newspaper? With the speed of communication? With the public not accustomed to the languages of so-called "high" culture? And how have these relationships changed over the course of the century? And the writers' articles... are they literature? Or are they just a minor series production? Or can journalism even be considered a literary genre in itself?
Through the study of the journalistic collaborations of some of the major writers of the twentieth century and of the contemporary world, the course intends to provide a historical-critical study tool on the relationship between writer and journalism carried out directly in the field, i.e. on the articles, according to a plan that aims to highlight how cultural journalism has transformed over the course of the century from the famous "beautiful writing" to a place for reading and understanding the society in which we live.
