Course content
The course aims to provide first-year students with the necessary tools for analyzing poetic and narrative texts selected from a corpus spanning all centuries up to the ultra-contemporary. Regarding poetic analysis, students will develop a systematic approach to identifying sounds (assonances, alliterations, rhymes), metrics (rhythm), stylistic figures, and poetic genres. All these formal elements will be considered for the purpose of developing the text’s meaning. As for narratology, students will be trained in using the basic concepts and technical vocabulary of "classic" narratology.
Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)
At the end of this course, students will have acquired the main techniques for analyzing and interpreting (commentary on) literary, poetic, and narrative texts.

Teaching methods and learning activities
The course consists of theoretical lectures (12 hours) and guided exercises (24 hours).
It involves systematic identification of various techniques and devices (such as stylistic figures) used in literary texts. While this identification is essential, it is only a preliminary step in the course’s dynamic. Ultimately, the course aims for students to be able, at an interpretative level, to connect form and content. This means understanding the purpose of using a particular writing trait, stylistic figure, or focalization in the discourse: what effects are produced and what possible interpretations can be derived?
