Readings/Bibliography

No extra literature is required, besides activities required by lectures and seminars.

Since the course is a seminar, participation in lessons is indispensable.

Teaching methods

The teaching will be of two different kinds: a) lectures (exposition and argumentation); b) seminars with the active participation of the students (and their previous work on the topic of the seminar) and the use of the tools (traditional and IT) of the philological research.

All materials handed out during the seminars will be available at http://www.unibo.it/docenti/camillo.neri

Assessment methods

At the end of the series of lectures and seminars, the students will be asked to draw a brief report (20 pp. ca.) on the meetings attended. Alternatively they can write a specific essay – a reading list will be provided by the teacher – on one or more topics covered in the seminars (30-40 pp. ca.).
