Learning outcomes

At the end of the workshop, the student has a basic critical knowledge to deal with linguistic and/or philological and/or literary and/or historical and/or artistic themes and problems; he/she is able to process this knowledge.

Course contents

The workshop aims to develop the ability to read a text in depth, using the tools of linguistic, rhetorical and stylistic analysis. The aim is to bring the same attention to one's own writing as to the reading of a literary text.
The seminar, consisting of 15 meetings, will be held in the second semester.
To register, you will need to send an e-mail to the lecturer (cristiana.desantis@unibo.it) from September onwards. There are 30 places available.
