Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The assessment of learning includes: an oral exam on the whole program, or the historical-literary path that led to the turning point of Modernism in Brazil, with particular emphasis on the modern art week of São Paulo and the three phases of Brazilian Modernism, with particular emphasis in the first "heroic" phase and in the "regionalist" novel. The evaluation of the oral test will be based on the following parameters: knowledge of the fundamental notions of Pre-Modernism and Modernism in the Brazilian context; "Anthropophagy" in the literary and cultural fields; linguistic, ethical and aesthetic change in Brazilian society; aesthetic characteristics of the three phases of Brazilian Modernism, with temporal indication of the same, the authors and the main literary works of the three periods; the narrative and the "deconstructionist" poetry of the first phase and the "regionalist" novel.
