Università Roma Tre

The course will examine, discuss and study some relevant literary works of the last ninety years, with special attention to issues such as the relationship between the individual and the power, and the processing of the civil war’s trauma in recent narrative.

Foreign students may take the final exam in spanish, subject to professor’s agreement.

Notes
We strongly recommend to reserve titles (syllabus item: “texts”) at the bookshops BEFORE the beginning of the lessons. We will read and comment on texts during the lessons, so it’s essential for the students to get them in time.
Attendance, although not compulsory, is strongly recommended. Non-attendant students have to contact professor F. Antonucci at least two months before the final exam.
