Acquire the ability to create a continuum among the different issues and to shape, formulate and communicate independent thoughts on such issues.

The course will enable students to master specific theoretical approaches to different cultural forms and to read literature with a special attention to how imaginaries are forged and counternarratives are articulated in different cultures and societies. Students will learn how to apply the acquired knowledge as the foundation to better understand contemporaneity and to connect different historical, social, and geopolitical contexts through their transnational literary and cultural productions.
