ORAL TEST

RICCARDI CARLA - 6 ECTS

Students must have acquired at least 18 CFU of Italian Literature during the three-year degree. Students who have a lower number of CFU will have a program supplement.

The course aims to provide the student with the knowledge, in direct and autonomous form, of the principal tools and methods of study related to the discipline, as well as to extend the fee of the authors and the texts dealt with during the three year degree courses

The story and the History from the Risorgimento to the Resistance: document and narration. The topic will have a historical-critical-theoretical introduction to short fiction, structures, the relationship between macrotesto and texts of novelist collections.

It will begin by illustrating the short-story historical-critical and theoretical way by referring to studies beginning in the second half of the eighteenth century to arrive at the most recent discussions on macrotesto and politesto.
The reading of the texts will be the crucial moment of the course in which it will be deepened at all levels:
specifically we will analyze the treatment of history, the relationship with historiography, the ideological point of view, the structures and the style of the texts.
Students are offered the full reading of the texts
which will be examined in class.
