Course description:
The Master’s Course in European Literary Cultures aims at preparing European and
International graduates for professions in which is requested the knowledge of: 1) at least three languages; 2) the different methodologies in at least three cultural fields as for example History of Literature, Texts Analysis, History, History of Art, History of Ideas.
The main objective of the Master Course is to train a cultural operator / a researcher / a teacher to have a good range of methodologies and a high cultural appreciation of the different contexts of European culture which enable a comparison with other cultures. The main characteristic of this profile is the combination of the historical-linguistic skills, also at an advanced level, and a high knowledge of other disciplines. These profiles are characterized by the continual application of the linguistic and cultural skills within an analytical and critical perspective.
They also aim at overcoming the rigid nationalistic idea of literary cultures which have contributed to the creation of a European culture, with the aim of gaining a unitary vision of the common cultural heritage. European and international graduates shall be employed in the institutions or foundations aimed to the cultural promotion, both in Europe and Third countries: for example, museums, cultural council offices, embassy offices, Culture Institutes abroad.
