Teaching Workshop: the Poetic Text. Analysis Tools
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The workshop targets students in Foreign Languages and Literatures. It aims to provide students with tools for an in-depth linguistic, stylistic and thematic analysis of poetic texts. The workshop aims to provide the basic tools for reading and interpreting the internal peculiarities of poems (such as metrical configuration, linguistic forms, poet's ego status) and their relations with the poetics, literary and socio-historical contexts from which they spring and contribute to illuminate.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the workshop, the student will acquire knowledge of analysis and interpretation methods of modern and contemporary poetic forms. The student should be able to master these methods on a theoretical level and will also be able to apply them appropriately and autonomously to texts. Moreover the student should be able to identify the linguistic, metrical and rhetorical strategies, as well as the underlying worldviews.
