Teaching method
Teaching methodology combines lecture and discussion of texts assigned for each class.
Evaluation method
Students should deliver a short presentation (around 15 min) and participate in the discussions in class (20% of the final grade). They should write a short essay concerning the text presented in class (20%) and a final work on one of the topics discussed (60%).
Subject matter
Classes will be focused on the analysis of texts by modernist authors related to a certain topic (the subject, the world, authorship, the book, incompletion, the fragment or humanism). This analysis promotes the articulation between different genres and fields, and gives particular attention to relations between works of the main authors of Portuguese Modernism and the literary, philosophical and artistic modernity in Europe.
