Content and teaching methods

This class will study how authors' imaginaries are inserted into and make the material of literary textuality. We will analyse the structure of the forms and figures that are active in the literary text, through narratological and semiological approaches. We will address the following issues: intertextual sources (literary, mythological, etc.), and other sources (artistic, religious, anthropological), as well as the impact of their particular context (geographic, historical, social, psychological). It will also deal with the reception of works, understood as the encounter of two imaginaries (the author's and the reader's) within the text. The works studied are taken from the contemporary period (from 19th c. to the present).
