Learning outcomes


At the end of the course the student: - knows the methodological bases of the study applied to the literature; - possesses the use of the principals tools (philological, linguistic, critical) for the evaluation of a literary text; - knows how to approach to the literary document, to understand its messages, to connect them to the historical and linguistic context in which has been produced, in an interdisciplinary perspective; - knows how to propose a personal hypothesis on the teaching of the literary material, to communicate  information and ideas to interlocutory not experts, as they will be the recipients of the teaching, pupils from the 3 a 10 years.

Course contents

This teaching hopes to furnish, in respect to the ministerial directives and the European scheme of the superior education, "solid disciplinary knowledges related to the linguistic-literary circle": in the specific field, the knowledge of texts and problems of the Italian literature (inclusive the literature for the infancy) from the origins to our days, in the context of the European literature, and with the essential elements of the linguistics and Italian grammar; the all with a didactic approach also that holds account of the two orders of school (infancy and primary) which the course trains.

Readings/Bibliography


For the 'classical'  literature, a general and methodological starting is the Manuale di italianistica, edited by V. Roda, Bologna, BUP 2005. As for the texts, the anthology of the superior school can be enough; for example Luperini-Cataldi (Palermo, Palumbo 1999), Ferroni-Cortellessa and others (Turin, Einaudi 2006),  Panebianco-Pisoni (Bologna, Zanichelli 2009);  good part of the texts (not commented) is by  internet, for example in the "digital Library" of the new  "Internet culturale".
For the comments the basic tool is: F. Marri, P. Franceschini, R. Terreni, Prove di lettura, Bologna, Clueb/Archetipolibri, 2011.
Also: P. Vecchi Galli, Sussidiario di letteratura italiana, Bologna, Clueb/Archetipolibri, 2007.
History of the literary language: V. Coletti, Storia dell'italiano letterario, Torino, Einaudi, 1993; F. Marri, Lingue di terra, Modena, Mucchi, 2007 (chapters I or IV).

Teaching methods

The lessons would want to approach  to the style of laboratory and the collective  job (to discover together the texts and their meanings), and ease then the individual search.

Assessment methods

The examination it is oral and it consists in the reading-comment-exposure-organization of literary texts from various times. At the end of the course, the possibility will be given to the attending students to make the examination in written form , substitutive of the oral examination in case of positive result.

Teaching tools


The printed page, the 'virtual' that transports on the screen of the computer her 'wealth' of Internet, and the white page that the student must fill. The good sites internet are useful and advisable: some of them are signalled in this same program.
