Università Roma Tre

Graduates in Languages and Literatures for Teaching and Translation obtain advanced knowledge and understanding in all the subject areas of their training in order to
1) consolidate and develop their competence in European and American Studies, with particular attention to their literature of specialisation;
2) deepen their knowledge of the two foreign languages chosen, achieving a heightened competence in the language of specialization and an advancement in the second language;
3) reach enhanced awareness of the linguistic features of their language of specialisation, both from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective;
4) reach an adequate knowledge of the most advanced methodologies for the analysis of literary texts;
5) handle confidently the theoretical-practical tools for teaching and for translation.

La literatura española en el espejo del tiempo/ Spanish literature in the mirror of time is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides students with advanced methodological and practical tools for the analysis of Spanish literary phenomena in a transcultural dimension and - due to the wide chronological horizon of the module contents - it also allows students to capitalise the knowledge acquired during the bachelor’s degree through a preliminary practical and theoretical focus on questions related to literature and teaching. It also allows students to improve oral exposition in Italian language and linguistic-communicative skills in Spanish language.
At the end of the module, students will be able to: autonomously analyse Spanish texts and literary phenomena in their transcultural dimension; make intertextual and/or intermedia comparisons (i.e. adaptations of literary works for cinema, television, radio, theatre or other media); write and/or present to the class short analytical essays.
Prerequisites: students enrolled in other degree programmes are allowed to select this module if they have gained at least 12 CFU in Spanish Literature in their bachelor’s degree, and can certify the attainment of a B2 level of Spanish.
Note: For LM37 students enrolled in the international learning programme “Estudios Ibéricos e Iberoamericanos” (Spanish – Hispanic-American Literature), this module can be selected as an associated subject (‘materia affine’) to their literature of specialisation.
