AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course is meant to provide both the basic elements concerning the history of children’s literature as a whole, in its complexity as a scientific discipline, and specific in-depth analyses of particularly relevant genres and themes, such as the fairytale, the comic strip, the cartoon. The part specifically designed for the Primary Education course will deal with issues related to the instillation of a taste for reading, not as an end in itself, but as a practice to be pursued all along the educational path (and beyond); the laboratory, which is an integral part of the course, will be devoted to picture ‘reading’ and to the problem of integration between text and images.

TEACHING METHODS

Lessons and multimedia materials.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The first part of the Course focuses on Italian authors and themes from the Nineteenth Century on; the second part’s goals are: analyzing models offered to children by books and television and authors.
