Learning unit contents

MASTERTUESDAY.
Novels, Poems, Essays, Scenarios (Films, Documentaries, Comics...) 2018/2020, with the interventions of Sandro Abruzzese, Silvio Alovisio, Elena Basile, Willy Burguet, Guido Conti, Luciano Curreri, Lorenzo De Nicola, Paolo Febbraro, Giovanni Lentini, Giuseppe Palumbo, Sergio Pent... about themselves...
Eight meetings with poets, writers, essayists, directors, translators, academic publishers and booksellers.
This course is a practical attempt at providing a 360-degree update on recent literature, based on a selection of works published between 2018 and 2020. It does not confine itself to considering Italian culture as a dead and buried beauty, nor does it regard it as the spoiled child of standardized media coverage of excellent writers and intellectuals.
