SECOND MODULE: AFROFUTURISM: LITERATURE, MUSIC, CINEMA
AFROFUTURISM IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CULTURAL MOVEMENT THAT REJECTS A NUMBER OF CLICHÉS THAT HAVE COMMONLY REFERRED TO PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT. AT A FIRST GLANCE, AFROFUTURISM MAY SOUND LIKE AN OXYMORON. “AFRO” AND “FUTURISM” ARE LIKELY TO BE CONSIDERED AS TERMS IN OPPOSITION, THE FORMER EVOKING IMAGES OF PRIMITIVISM AND BACKWARDNESS, THE LATTER – EVER SINCE F. T. MARINETTI’S DEFINITION IN 1909 – CELEBRATING INSTEAD SPEED AND MODERNITY. THE CREATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF AFROFUTURIST WRITERS, MUSICIANS, ARTISTS, FILMMAKERS AND CRITICS CHALLENGES THE STEREOTYPICAL HISTORICAL VIEW ROUTINELY APPLIED TO THE BLACK ATLANTIC EXPERIENCE AND PROPOSES COUNTER-HISTORIES THAT RECONSIDER THE ROLE OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE WESTERN SOCIETY IN THE PAST AND IMAGINE ALTERNATIVE ROLES IN THE FUTURE. THE MODULE FOCUSES ON THE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES OF AFROFUTURISM: MUSIC, VISUAL ARTS, CINEMA AND ESPECIALLY LITERATURE − PROTO-AFROFUTURIST FICTION SUCH AS W.E.B. DU BOIS’S SHORT STORY “THE COMET” (1920), GEORGE S. SCHUYLER’S NOVEL BLACK NO MORE (1931) AND MORE RECENT EXAMPLES SUCH AS RALPH ELLISON’S INVISIBLE MAN (1952) AND OCTAVIA E. BUTLER’S KINDRED (1979).

Training Objectives
The general objective is to achieve communicative and socio-cultural competence. The course aims to deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture. To this end, we will proceed on three main routes: first, the study of the rules of operation of Spanish (level B1); second, we will address the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic and contrastive and cultural); and third, we will address aspects related to political language.

Prerequisites
The course is held by the teacher in Spanish, therefore to follow the lessons requires a level of knowledge of language A2 in order to facilitate the acquisition of the necessary linguistic and cultural skills.
To take the oral exam, the student must have reached the B1 language level (intermediate), which can be certified by a certificate (B1) issued by the CLA (Centro Linguistico d'Ateneo), or by presenting the DELE certificate (Diploma de Español Lengua Extranjera, B1), or must have passed a written test of the same level (intermediate), which is held regularly in the faculty at the beginning of each exam session (June, September, February).
Note: Beginners must register for the CLA courses from September so that there is no overlap with the completion of the course of ownership to be held in the second semester.

TITLE: AFROFUTURISM: LITERATURE, MUSIC, CINEMA

FIRST MODULE: ENGLISH GRAMMAR: LEARNING THE LANGUAGE
THE FIRST MODULE DEALS WITH SOME OF THE MAIN GRAMMAR AND MORPHO-SYNTACTIC STRUCTURES OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. THE LANGUAGE SKILLS ACQUIRED BY THE STUDENTS WILL BE ASSESSED AT THE END OF THE COURSE THROUGH THE 'PROVA DI ESONERO'.

SECOND MODULE: AFROFUTURISM: LITERATURE, MUSIC, CINEMA
AFROFUTURISM IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CULTURAL MOVEMENT THAT REJECTS A NUMBER OF CLICHÉS THAT HAVE COMMONLY REFERRED TO PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT. AT A FIRST GLANCE, AFROFUTURISM MAY SOUND LIKE AN OXYMORON. “AFRO” AND “FUTURISM” ARE LIKELY TO BE CONSIDERED AS TERMS IN OPPOSITION, THE FORMER EVOKING IMAGES OF PRIMITIVISM AND BACKWARDNESS, THE LATTER – EVER SINCE F. T. MARINETTI’S DEFINITION IN 1909 – CELEBRATING INSTEAD SPEED AND MODERNITY. THE CREATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF AFROFUTURIST WRITERS, MUSICIANS, ARTISTS, FILMMAKERS AND CRITICS CHALLENGES THE STEREOTYPICAL HISTORICAL VIEW ROUTINELY APPLIED TO THE BLACK ATLANTIC EXPERIENCE AND PROPOSES COUNTER-HISTORIES THAT RECONSIDER THE ROLE OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE WESTERN SOCIETY IN THE PAST AND IMAGINE ALTERNATIVE ROLES IN THE FUTURE. THE MODULE FOCUSES ON THE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES OF AFROFUTURISM: MUSIC, VISUAL ARTS, CINEMA AND ESPECIALLY LITERATURE − PROTO-AFROFUTURIST FICTION SUCH AS W.E.B. DU BOIS’S SHORT STORY “THE COMET” (1920), GEORGE S. SCHUYLER’S NOVEL BLACK NO MORE (1931) AND MORE RECENT EXAMPLES SUCH AS RALPH ELLISON’S INVISIBLE MAN (1952) AND OCTAVIA E. BUTLER’S KINDRED (1979).

Training Objectives
The general objective is to achieve communicative and socio-cultural competence. The course aims to deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture. To this end, we will proceed on three main routes: first, the study of the rules of operation of Spanish (level B1); second, we will address the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic and contrastive and cultural); and third, we will address aspects related to political language.

Prerequisites
The course is held by the teacher in Spanish, therefore to follow the lessons requires a level of knowledge of language A2 in order to facilitate the acquisition of the necessary linguistic and cultural skills.
To take the oral exam, the student must have reached the B1 language level (intermediate), which can be certified by a certificate (B1) issued by the CLA (Centro Linguistico d'Ateneo), or by presenting the DELE certificate (Diploma de Español Lengua Extranjera, B1), or must have passed a written test of the same level (intermediate), which is held regularly in the faculty at the beginning of each exam session (June, September, February).
Note: Beginners must register for the CLA courses from September so that there is no overlap with the completion of the course of ownership to be held in the second semester.

Training Objectives
The general objective is to achieve communicative and socio-cultural competence. The course aims to deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture. To this end, we will proceed on three main routes: first, the study of the rules of operation of Spanish (level B1); second, we will address the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic and contrastive and cultural); and third, we will address aspects related to political language.

Prerequisites
The course is held by the teacher in Spanish, therefore to follow the lessons requires a level of knowledge of language A2 in order to facilitate the acquisition of the necessary linguistic and cultural skills.
To take the oral exam, the student must have reached the B1 language level (intermediate), which can be certified by a certificate (B1) issued by the CLA (Centro Linguistico d'Ateneo), or by presenting the DELE certificate (Diploma de Español Lengua Extranjera, B1), or must have passed a written test of the same level (intermediate), which is held regularly in the faculty at the beginning of each exam session (June, September, February).
Note: Beginners must register for the CLA courses from September so that there is no overlap with the completion of the course of ownership to be held in the second semester.

Didactic Methods
The teaching for the Course of Language, Culture and Institutions of the Spanish Language Countries (7 CFU) is divided into three modules: 1) Language, 2) Phraseology and Paremiology and 3) Culture. Module I concerns a review of the main grammar rules of the Spanish language. Module II deals with phraseology and is based on the theoretical and practical study of phraseological and paremological figures of daily use in a communicative, cultural and contrasting Spanish-Italian perspective. Module III deals with the study of key aspects of political language. The topics will be dealt with frontally and in the form of seminars.

To this end, we will proceed on three main routes: first, the study of the rules of operation of Spanish (level B1); second, we will address the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic and contrastive and cultural); and third, we will address aspects related to political language.

Prerequisites
The course is held by the teacher in Spanish, therefore to follow the lessons requires a level of knowledge of language A2 in order to facilitate the acquisition of the necessary linguistic and cultural skills.
To take the oral exam, the student must have reached the B1 language level (intermediate), which can be certified by a certificate (B1) issued by the CLA (Centro Linguistico d'Ateneo), or by presenting the DELE certificate (Diploma de Español Lengua Extranjera, B1), or must have passed a written test of the same level (intermediate), which is held regularly in the faculty at the beginning of each exam session (June, September, February).
Note: Beginners must register for the CLA courses from September so that there is no overlap with the completion of the course of ownership to be held in the second semester.

Training Objectives
The general objective is to achieve communicative and socio-cultural competence. The course aims to deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture. To this end, we will proceed on three main routes: first, the study of the rules of operation of Spanish (level B1); second, we will address the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic and contrastive and cultural); and third, we will address aspects related to political language.

Prerequisites
The course is held by the teacher in Spanish, therefore to follow the lessons requires a level of knowledge of language A2 in order to facilitate the acquisition of the necessary linguistic and cultural skills.
To take the oral exam, the student must have reached the B1 language level (intermediate), which can be certified by a certificate (B1) issued by the CLA (Centro Linguistico d'Ateneo), or by presenting the DELE certificate (Diploma de Español Lengua Extranjera, B1), or must have passed a written test of the same level (intermediate), which is held regularly in the faculty at the beginning of each exam session (June, September, February).
Note: Beginners must register for the CLA courses from September so that there is no overlap with the completion of the course of ownership to be held in the second semester.
