Learning unit contents
The course is devoted to the study either of a sub-genre in the poetic genre or of a given literary work (the readings of other Latin texts being not excluded to enrich the commentary). In collaboration with the students, the teacher elaborates an original translation for each of the studied texts as well as a commentary pointing out the most remarkable aspects of the text. The commentary will aim at internal and comparative textual analysis of the extracts or poems. Il will also aim on study of the contribution of the Latin work at the French poetry, or of their relations. The reading of texts also involves the study of the most significant phenomena in the domains of the phonetics, the morphology, the lexicon and the syntax.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
A practice in the translation and in the grammatical, historic, cultural, stylistic and literary commentary of Latin authors, as well as a review of the Latin language structures.
