Learning unit contents :
|
||
| This course offers an in-depth presentation of specific aspects of medieval French literature, moving from the study of a particular literary genre (or current or form or other) and its most representative authors (known or anonymous). A general introduction will contextualise the choice of texts, and then overviews of texts and traditions will alternate with close reading and translation of single excerpts. | ||
|
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
|
||
| Students will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the genre considered in its formal and structural aspects. One major purpose of the paper will be the literary analysis of a few core texts and the close reading of excerpts from other texts: both imply a full awareness of the plurality of possible views and methods. Additionally, students will develop their language skills and be able to understand and translate an Old French text, to offer a rigorous interpretation of it, to appreciate its modernity as well as its cultural distance and alterity. | ||
