What you will learn leggere la realtà e i suoi linguaggi impiegare i più sofisticati strumenti di analisi testuale di carattere filologico e interpretativo sviluppare una coscienza culturale complessa considerare gli elementi della storia di una civiltà che contribuiscono a dar vita a un'opera d'arte comprendere la storia dei fenomeni culturali indagare le tradizioni dei testi e della cultura occidentale conoscere le forme delle performing arts analizzare il contributo delle performing arts alla nostra civiltà e scoprire i meccanismi che stanno all’origine di sceneggiature, copioni, libretti e partiture Contents In addition to the literary aspect, the course privileges that of entertainment, in view of the importance this creative field has assumed in modernity. The chronological span addressed ranges from the Middle Ages to the contemporary. The texts - literary, musical, spectacular, etc. - and thus philology are the basis of the studies. The linguistic aspect is not neglected even beyond literature while history and geography intervene to place the texts in space and time. The study of other artistic expressions - performance in music, theater, film and television, and figurative - complements the study of literary texts. The course promotes the development of autonomy of judgment, that is, a critical attitude indispensable both for appropriating a proper research attitude and for directing oneself toward a profession. Coordinator Image The course is designed for those who love and wish to deepen their understanding of the beauty of the word, of a text, a performance, a film; for those who believe that these are not just ephemeral and marginal experiences, but who want to understand them from the inside, to grasp the meaning of activities that are so crucial for every person and every civilization. The privilege of devoting the last two years of a university course to these studies can be transformed into the transmission of such beauty through one's work.
