Contribution of the course to the overall degree programme goals
The objectives of the teaching are: to deepen the specific knowledge of cultural themes and dynamics of the Hispanic-American subcontinent; provide methodological tools aimed at analyzing the Argentine literary and comics productions of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, develop the ability to reflect on the proposed literary texts and carry out comparative analyzes.
Expected learning outcomes
1. deepen the specific knowledge of cultural and political themes and dynamics of the Hispano-American subcontinent;
2. provide methodological tools aimed at analyzing the most significant Hispanic-American literary productions of the twentieth and twenty-first century intended, on the one hand, as cultural documents and, on the other, as aesthetic creations;
3. develop the ability to reflect on the proposed literary texts and carry out comparative analyzes between the hypotest and the hypertext;
4. provide the theoretical tools for transposition and adaptation analysis;
5. Finally, the course aims to develop the ability to learn the themes and tools offered during the course, as well as communication skills.
Pre-requirements
The learning assessment method consists of an oral interview mainly in Spanish which will verify the contents of the module, the knowledge of the works studied with the support of critical texts, as well as the historical-literary knowledge of the centuries addressed (themes, evolutionary lines, main authors).
Contents
The course will be divided into two main parts:
At first, students will be provided with a historical-cultural picture of comics in Argentina and its indissoluble link with Italian comics, associated with the migration phenomenon. Subsequently, the general theoretical elements concerning the theory of transposition and the semiotics of comics will be offered.
2. In the second part we will analyze a selection of texts by Argentine authors belonging to the 20th and 21st centuries and the relative transpositions to comics.
