The course aims to develop non-native students’ linguistic skills, in order to take them toward an advanced level of proficiency. More complex morphological and syntactic aspects of the French sentence structure will be focused from a contrastive perspective. Students will improve their understanding and awareness of the language use, appealing to the logical relations used by native speakers. The analysis will move from a sentence-based grammar to the discourse level, through an introduction to different levels of text analysis and typologies. Particular atention will be given to the language in some fields such as information and communication, analysing and translating advertisements, articles and political discourses.

The first module intends to address the main critical and problematic nodes of early modern history in a perspective aimed at enucleating original characters and identity processes of the European continent. Particular attention will be devoted to the philosophical-political and political-institutional peculiarities that emerged in European states between the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 19th century. From the English Revolutions of the 17th Century and later with the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, parliamentary democracy, secularization, religious tolerance and the recognition of human rights became traditionally not only the key ideas of the definition of "being European", but real universal guiding principles to export and, if necessary, to impose on the rest of the globe. But can we really coincide the advent of European modernity with the beginnings of the process of secularization? What was the relationship between Christian churches and modernity? What was the relationship between Catholic Church and human rights since the Lumières century?

We will study the most important poetic and novelistic experiments in early twentieth-century English-language modernism. We will focus in particular on the differences between British artists such as D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster, on one hand, and the Irish and American poets as well as Joseph Conrad – an English writer but a transnational novelist.
Our purpose is not just to uncover the early signs of the dynamics that lead to a breakup of that which Antoine Compagnon has defined “le modèle de la philologie, pour laquelle l’unité langue-littérature-culture coïncide avec l’esprit d’une nation, ou d’une race”; or identify the starting point of the process which led eventually a number of non-British authors to transform what was up to that point a national literature; of even greater importance is to make students understand how much these experiments had in common with models being constructed on the Continent by those thinkers and linguists who founder literary theory, truly one of the great inventions of the 20th century.

Fiction
We will be moving back in time, in our investigation of the differences among the authors.
Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse (1927). Novel

Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim (1900). Novel
D. H. Lawrence, “Odour of Chrysanthemums” (1911). Short story.

Reading List

D. H. Lawrence, Sons and Lovers (1913)
Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier (1915)

Poems

T. S. Eliot, “Prufrock”, The Waste Land, “The Hollow Men”
Ezra Pound, “To Whistler, American”, “In a Station of the Metro”, “Hugh Selwyn Mauberley”

Before classes start on February 28, the instructor will send to all the students included in the mailing list the poems by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound which we will study in class.

Essays
We will study some of the main theoretical statements set forth by the authors we will study. Among these:
Joseph Conrad, “Preface” to Almayer’s Folly (1895), The Nigger of the “Narcissus” (1897), and a selection from his letters.
T. S. Eliot, “Tradition and the Individual Talent” (1919), “Ulysses, Order and Myth” (1923)

Teaching: LIS ‐ Library and Information Science LM14 (AY 2017‐18)
Curriculum (draft)
Objectives
Acquiring adequate theoretical and technical knowledge on commonalities and differences of
bibliography and library science, their field of competence and development (the digital one
included) in particular concerning:
1) bibliography (reference list) designing and implementation;
2) organization, management, evaluation and promotion of libraries;
3) evolution and usage of technologies for document processing (both for reference and
library aims);
4) history of printing and publishing (digital, too).
At the end of the course learners will be able to apply the acquired knowledge to referencing;
understand the issues of library management, the implications of ICT usage in the two
disciplines (Bibliography and Library Science), and in the editorial one, too.
Prerequirements
Recommended: previous examination of “Bibliografia e Biblioteconomia” (L10) and basic knowledge of:
history, computer science (PC, Internet, email), English language.
Course Description
The course is delivered in three modules:
1) Introduction: overview on information complexity, the “docuverse”, the importance of media and
information literacy acquisition and library/librarians’ role in such a process. Furthermore the
learner will be introduced to information seeking towards the final work, the variety of
dissertations, and the academic writing at post‐graduate master course level.
2) Bibliography: the course:
 examines the definitions of “bibliography”; illustrates the historical evolution of bibliography and
other disciplines of books and documents (history, diplomatic, archival studies);
 discusses the informational complexity and reflects on digital information and tools to access it
(catalogue, opac, discovery tool, database etc.);
 deapen the metamorphosis of the book (digital books, Google books etc.), text, reading and
scientific communication, and the relationship between bibliography and web;
 includes practical training of bibliographic search, with compilation of reference citations according
to different referencing styles ‐ es. APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian ecc. –starting from the
“bibliographic chain”.
3) Library Science: definition; field of competence; historical development (history of libraries and
books); library types (academic, public etc.); the library as a complex system: organization,
planning; management and evaluation; material and digital collections building; organization of
physical and virtual spaces, that are functional to resource‐based learning.

Suggested reading (optional):

Teaching/Learning Methods
Mainly face to face lectures, integrated by Edmodo platform where resources and teaching materials,
communication etc. will be made available.
Seminars, library visits, workshops and training in libraries, documentation centres and archives will form
an integral part of the course.
Examination
“In itinere” assessment: written exercise/essay (to be posted on Edmodo platform) at the end of each of
the three modules.
Final evaluation: written exercise of reference citation based on the documents at students’ disposal;
administration of multiple choice test; a reading form related to the 3rd book.
Foreign students
Special measures are arranged according to the previous curriculum of the student.
Foreign students can be examined in English/French/Spanish/Portuguese languages.

Title of the course: In the lexicographer's laboratory

Description of the course: The history of our Language can be retraced also through the dictionaries that, along the time, have described and codified it and that often mirror the specific historical moment during which they were produced. The course is centred on the diacronic and syncronic study of Italian lexicon through lexicography. It will retrace the history of dictionaries in Italy, from their origin up to now, and will take into exam their various typologies and structure of composition.
