(programma)
Il corso introduce gli studenti allo studio dei temi principali della World Literature o letteratura mondiale: il dibattito sul canone, la traduzione, il transnazionalismo e la metodologia comparatistica.
Il corso si svolgerà in modalità "directed study" e in due fasi:
a) introduzione alla World Literature con analisi dei testi principali in cui è stata teorizzata (lingue inglese e francese)
b) assegnazione di lavori di ricerca agli studenti (research paper)
This course is focused on the basic topics of World Literature: international and transnational canon debate, translation of literatures and cultures, transnationalism and comparatism.
"A directed study is a coherent, well-defined, substantive reading and research project supervised by a faculty member, usually resulting in a major written document. It is not credit for work experience. Rather, it offers the student an opportunity to explore in detail a carefully defined area of special concern, as well as a chance to work under the close supervision of a faculty member" (Boston University)
The course will consist of:
a) a general introduction to the history and theory of the concept of World Literature
b) research paper assignment
