MARTIGNONI CLELIA (titolare) - 6 ECTS

For foreign students, a good level of linguistic knowledge is requested.

Formative objectives:
The aim of the course is to offer a picture of the most meaningful aspects, texts, of the twentieth-century Italian literature, always starting from the readings and the analytical comments of the texts, with necessary philologic and historical-critical elements, together with a continuous connection to the essential lines of foreign modern literatures.

Through Federico Tozzi’s narrative: the themes of the “novel of education” and his early work: text and context.
Aim of the course is to illustrate by an adequate introduction to the critical-historical context and by extended readings from his early works (such as Bestie and Con gli occhi chiusi), Federigo Tozzi’s narrative in relation with the “novel of formation” models.

For bibliographic information and suggestions, you can ask the teacher, the tutors and assistants. For foreign students, an “ad personam” programme will be arranged. A good level of knowledge of Italian is also requested to attend the classes.

Programme for students not attending the course
The attendance at the lessons is deeply recommended, the students who cannot attend, are invited to come to speak to the teacher during her consulting hours or to contact her by an email to fix an alternative programme

Lectures, very dialogical lessons, possible in itinere tests
