Corso di laurea magistrale in Storia dell'arte

At the end of the course, the student must achieve, in relation to the matters, the authors and the works that have been dealt with, knowledge and understanding gains that increase and complete that acquired in the first cycle of the university studies, so as to elaborate a scientific method of investigation to be applied within a research context, both in Italian literature and in other disciplines related to his field of study. In particular, the course will enhance the skills in reading and text analysis, as a point of start to explore the theoretical grounds and the connections with the tradition and the cultural background.

The student is also expected to be able to:

• communicate the achieved knowledge and the results of a literary and historical study or research clearly, with objective style, pertinence of language and documentary evidence.
• have achieved learning skills to allow him to continue studying in an autonomous and self-governing manner.

Editorial history and integral reading of Il partigiano Johnny by Beppe Fenoglio.

The programm is the same for attending and non-attending students. Students who don't attend the course must add Roberto Bigazzi's book about Fenoglio, see Bibliography n. 2.

The assessment is made on the basis of an oral examination (top grade: 30/30 cum laude; passing grade: 18/30).

The attainment of an organic vision of the topics addressed in class, together with a good critical capacity, mastery of expression and specific language, will be assessed with marks very good or excellent (28-30 cum laude); mainly mnemonic or not well-developed acquisition of the contents and linguistic and logical skills that are not always adequate will be assessed with marks ranging from fair (21-24) to good (25-27); a minimum level of knowledge of the course content, combined with inadequate training gaps or inadequate linguistic and logical skills, will lead to an assessment of sufficiency (18-20); absence of a minimum level of knowledge of the course content, combined with inadequate linguistic and logical skills and training gaps, will lead to an assessment of insufficiency.

A component of the assessment can be constituted by a short essay assigned to the student (or a group of students) during the course.

This workshop can take place via Internet.
