ITALIAN LITERATURE FOR FASHION

Course objectives

The course: provides students with knowledge and understanding of the methodological, critical-problematic, and applied aspects of the discipline; it introduces areal and sectoral perspectives in which research projects related to the discipline are or may be developed; and it highlights the diversity of fields in which disciplinary expertise can be applied (Descriptor 1); fosters the student’s ability to independently relate the knowledge acquired to other academic sectors (SSDs), including historical, literary, artistic, cultural heritage, economic, political, and religious studies (Descriptor 2); enables students to apply the acquired knowledge and disciplinary vocabulary toward the development of so-called “transversal competences,” such as independent judgment and communication skills (Descriptors 3–5).
