German Literature

The necessary methodological (e.g. linguistic turn, cultural turn, gender studies) insights and thematic (e.g. dada, Africa and advertising) will be explored in a broad comparative perspective. The teaching is fully consistent with the objectives of the Course of Studies, which aims to ensure the acquisition of solid knowledge in the fields of multimedia communication, reinforcing a humanistic training for students.

Beginner students will be able to achieve an eminently passive knowledge of the German language, while advanced students will consolidate their previous language level. Common goals for all students are also the acquisition of basic knowledge of theory or literary history and the exercise of a textual, historical and cultural analysis, methodologically safe in its different modes of critical articulation. Through the interactive organization of the course, group work and verification tests in the field (online testing) and partial tests will also promote the following cross-skills: basic and functional literacy skills, multilingual competence, digital, personal, social competence and the ability to learn how to learn; competence on the subject of citizenship; competence in cultural awareness and expression.
