In particular, students are required to acquire: a deep knowledge of Latin language; a deep knowledge of Latin literature from III B.C. to VI A.D.; a good notion of the persistence of Latin language and civilization in Italian and European culture from the Middle Ages onwards; advanced skills in the research techniques required for the critical exam of Latin texts; mastery of the specific research tools available in traditional or computerized and telematic form in the specific area of Latin texts.

Educational objectives

Being able, through the acquisition of a rigorous method, to investigate the genesis of a literary work and to study the modifications to which it has been subjected through the centuries.

Educational objectives

At the end of the course the student will have to be able to read and translate properly the texts in the programme. Moreover, he/she will have to be familiar with linguistic, philologic and literary issues related to those texts (point 1). He/she will have to be able to apply independent critical skills when required (point 82) and to express the relevant acquired skills both in writing and orally (point 3). Finally he/she will be able to use all the tools necessary to carry on his/her studies autonomously (bibliographies, databases, etc…) (point 4). Point 1 aims to primarily satisfy the first Dublin descriptor (understand the fundamental themes of the discipline through the use of updated bibliography). Point 2 aims to primarily satisfy the second descriptor (ability to argue and organize knowledge). Point 3 aims to satisfy the recognition and the ability to interpret and use the proposed data, according to the third descriptor. The knowledge provided by the teaching is necessary for the autonomous continuation of studies in the field of philology (descriptor 5). The exam (oral exam) aims to evaluate the student's presentation (descriptor 4).

Educational objectives

The aim of the course is to provide the analytical tools capable of reconstructing historiographical frameworks, to read and interpret literary works, to evaluate the transmission of Italian literature considering the perspectives coming from Cultural Studies, Women's Studies and Gender Studies. Particular attention will be paid to the ways in which gender stereotypes are constructed, the masculine and feminine, the maternal and the roles of power, bodies and identities are represented in the various chronological fields examined. Finally, the center of the reflection will be the forms with which, within the texts, gender, social class and cultural formation intersect, in an intersectional perspective. Intersections between literature, gender studies and multimedia will also be considered.

Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, students will be able to understand the ways in which Italian literature constructs, resumes and transmits gender stereotypes, getting to know methodologies and interpretative categories useful for a gender-oriented analysis of literary works, will be familiar with the theoretical-conceptual tools of gender and queer studies, with reference to the representation of identities, subjectivities, differences. they will understand the importance of concepts such as fluidity, mobility, device of power, within literary constructions. A specific focus will be dedicated to reflections on the aspects and forms of women's writing.

Applied knowledge and understanding
Students will acquire the ability to understand the dynamics that characterize the forms of representation, production and use of Italian literature from a gender perspective. They will therefore be able to apply the theoretical-conceptual tools of gender and queer studies to the interpretation and understanding of literary products and contexts, also through digital processes. Computer-based analyzes will be applied to the works in question, together with a gender perspective, providing operational analytical skills.

Autonomy of judgement
The students will acquire the theoretical-conceptual and analytical-applicative tools necessary to autonomously judge the forms of representation, stereotypes and gender constructions produced by Italian literature, not only in the chronological arcs examined, but also in different temporalities, with particular attention to the forms of representation of the feminine, the masculine and the LGBTQI+ identities.

Communication skills
Students will develop gender-sensitive communication skills, with reference to both verbal communication and written, literary and non-literary communication. These skills will be directly related to media contexts (podcasts and digital).

Learning skills
Throughout the course, a critical analysis of the methodological bibliography that has placed gender at the center of literary analysis, in Italy and abroad, will be carried out, followed by an application of the categories and methods to exempla taken from Italian literature. By to these tools, students will acquire the necessary skills to autonomously deepen and individually update their skills related to the relationship between genre and literature.

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide specific elements of 21th Century's literary language, history, theory; it enables the student to master the subjects in order to use it and apply it also in other fields of study, with the correct use of the specific technical language.

Fundamental to this is the consideration of the fact that different media and different forms of books provoke types of interaction and therefore types of readers that vary greatly in time and space.

Educational objectives

The course aims to treat the meaning of writing (or not writing or writing delegate) in social reality, through the historical-paleographic understanding of its achievements (whether they are residual written testimonies or structured texts, framed in systems of genres) and its manifestations. The objective is pursued both in diachronia and for different historical periods on the long duration, as well as in synchronia with insights into the practices of writing (and also reading) in a given society, in order to understand historically both the 'agencies' of literacy (schools, social groups) and the discriminations (between social classes and cultures, generations and genders, places and professions) that the practice of writing has always involved.
