Over the entirety of the course, students are expected to actively participate in lectures. The language of instruction is Italian.
Theory
Professor Nannicini is in charge of the Theory part. Lectures are 1 hour per week in Semester 2 and consist of frontal classes, delivered with the aid of Power Point, allowing however space for interaction and discussion. The languages of instruction are French and Italian.
Each class will be focused on an author. Individual study time will be devoted to preparatory reading with regard to the author who will be covered in the next class. By the end of the year, the student will have an understanding of the main literary movements and authors of the 20th century (manual), the historical and cultural events of the 20th century (booklet) as well as the authors studied over the course and by means of individual reading (course + bibliography). The language of instruction for this part is Italian
In the event that part of the teaching may be carried out remotely, students will receive their instructions by Moodle. Students’ active participation in these activities is strongly required.
