Learning Objectives
The Goethe of maturity.
The course intends to describe the itinerary of the German poet in his mature, so-called 'classical' era, through four of his most exemplary works of this phase which also mark his 'Italian' vocation.
Program
The following works by J.W. Goethe will be analyzed: Iphigenie auf Tauris; Torquato Tasso; Römische Elegien; Venezianische Epigramme.
Speeches are scheduled by professor Liana Lomiento (Urbino) on the relationship between Euripides' Iphigenia and Goethe's one and by professor Andrea Landolfi (Siena) on Roman Elegies and Venetian Epigrams, as well as an on-line intervention with the famous German playwright Peter Stein, for a conversation on his memorable staging of Tasso in Bremen in 1965.
Bridging Courses
Knowledge of the minimum qualifying elements and the main periods of German literature.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
- Ability to understand and critically analyze historical-cultural-literary aspects and events, placing them within an overall cultural framework of historical, sociological development and social reflections.
- Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student has the inter-cultural skills for the description and analysis of German culture and literature.
- Autonomy of judgment: the student possesses, through a wide spectrum of readings and references, critical skills that enable him to analyze and evaluate texts on cultural topics and can express autonomous opinions on socio-cultural issues concerning various historical periods, making a transference between different eras.
- Communication skills: ability to understand different realities and eras and use a sectoral language.
- Ability to acquire the methodological tools and bibliographic-critical skills necessary for one's field of study, even in intercultural and group environments.

Notes
It should be remembered that a CFU approximates the measurement of the hours of commitment dedicated by the student to the training activity equal to 25 hours (lessons, seminars, practice, work at home). This course is equivalent to 8 CFU, that is to 200 hours of total activity: if the hours of attendance in class are not included within this amount, it will be integrated with autonomous activities of the same additional duration.
Part of the course will be taught in German. The students can request to sit the final exam in German with an alternative bibliography.
Teil des Kurses wird auf Deutsch gehalten werden. Die StudentInnen können auf Nachfrage die Prüfung in deutscher Sprache mit einer Alternativbibliographie halten.
