Contents Contents:
This area includes the literary studies of the last two centuries. Special attention is attributed to the 20th century’s literature in its various expressions, genres and researches, with a focus on the historical and theoretical questions raised by literary modernity, according to the methodologies of the historical and literary criticism along with the competences and perspectives peculiar to the militant criticism.
This course is organised into two sections:
1) A section focused on the study of literary modernity with special regard to the 20th century, through the analysis of the cultural movements, the forms, the languages and the tradition-innovation bond;
2) An in-depth section dedicated to the study of ultra-contemporary poetics and writings, with a special reference to the last 20 years, by identifying some significant works and moments.
Extended Syllabus Extended syllabus:
As far as poetics are concerned, on one hand, the 20 th century articulates a movement breaking up with canon and rules, which is the case of the historical avant-gardes and their consequent reprises (neo-avantgarde, research poetry, poetry in prose, etc.); on the other hand, the 20 th century seems to be based on the revival of the tradition with its closed and measurable forms, etc. Through the reading and the analysis of some highly significant texts, the course will bring into focus the moments when this dialectic seems to be more direct and historically meaningful. Some examples are the first 15 years of the 20 th century, with Crepuscolarismo, Futurismo and Vociani; the Fifties and Sixties, with the neo-avantgarde and the “poesia dopo la lirica”; the first twenty years of the new century.
