Learning Objectives

Acquisition of fundamental and advanced notions on Dante's subject. Acquisition of the fundamental notions of political history in the medieval age. Acquisition of the stylistic and rhetorical tools useful for the correct reading of medieval poetry. Systematic knowledge of the Comedy, in particular of the political songs of all three canticles from a textual point of view and from a historical-critical point of view. We will also provide the methodological tools suitable for the correct historical and chronological contextualization of Dante's works.

Program

Dante's political life in Florence before the exile and during the years after the exile. Reading, paraphrasing, thematic, stylistic, metric and rhetorical analysis of the political songs of all three canticles. Analysis of the texts in the particular key of the author's ideology, which extends to complex and problematic elements with respect to the Florentine 'municipal' vision of Hell, towards the formulation of the need for a universal order guaranteed by the Empire. Partial reading of the three free men of the Monarchy. Comparisons with other Dante texts.

The cantos in question will be

Inferno: VI, X, XV, XVI, XIX, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, XXVIII, XXIX

Course books

During the exam the student, in addition to the topics presented in class by the teacher, will be required to have an analytical knowledge of the following primary and secondary texts:

- Commedia  Commented edition of your choice (we recommend the one edited by A.M. Chiavacci Leonardi for Mondadori; any fully commented edition used in high schools will still be useful. Preparation is required for scheduled cantos

Monarchia, ed. by D. Quaglioni, Milano, Mondadori, 2015 (any annotated edition can be used)

Assessment

Oral exam. The attending student is required to report, during the interview, on the topics covered by the teacher during the course. He must also demonstrate that he has read and understood the study texts listed above. All students will be assessed through the following criteria: (1) knowledge of the subject. - (2) ability to reason adequately on the subject of the question. - (3) ability to expose matter with language properties.

Those tests that demonstrate the student's possession of good critical and in-depth skills, the ability to navigate with mastery within the topics covered in class, establishing links between texts and themes and the ability to use precisely the specific lexicon of the discipline.

Those tests that demonstrate the possession of a mnemonic knowledge of the contents, a discreet critical capacity and connection between the main topics treated in class with the use of a language suitable for the discipline will be evaluated as 'fair'.

Those tests that demonstrate the achievement of a minimum level of knowledge relating to the fundamentals of the discipline, and the use of a language that is not entirely inadequate, will be evaluated as 'sufficient'.

Those tests that reveal difficulties in orientation with respect to the topics addressed in class, serious training gaps with respect to the topics covered during the course, and the improper use of the lexicon of the discipline will be evaluated negatively.
