Learning unit contents
On the basis of the fact that today's society can only be envisaged by adopting a perspective that respects its resolutely globalized character, this course aims to take a critical look at the literary ties that the Netherlands and Flanders maintain with the countries that have marked their history. To do this, the course adopts the concept of 'nomadism' as a common thread.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student should be able to
- critically approach a contemporary literary text through its aesthetic, discursive, poetological and ideological peculiarities and by integrating the socio-cultural context into its heuristic approach.
- to read and write scientific papers in the field studied;
- to approach literature from an international perspective.
