| Educational objectives | LEARNING OBJECTIVES Knowledge: This course introduces to a deeper knowledge of contemporary Portuguese literature. It will begin with a brief overview of Portuguese literature of the late 19th and early 20th century, framing it within the historical events that marked Portuguese society of that period. We will then move on to an in-depth study of the work of one of Portugal's greatest writers, Fernando Pessoa, who founded the magazine ‘Orpheu’ in 1915 together with the poet Mário de Sá-Carneiro and other artists and writers, which gave rise to Portuguese Modernism. Fernando Pessoa and Mário de Sá-Carneiro. not only renewed their country's literature but also fully reflected the crisis of values in the first decades of the 20th century. They were friends and contemporaries, they travelled parallel but at the same time converging paths, delving into the labyrinth of consciousness and demolishing the very concept of monolithic identity. Competences: To know how to frame authors, works and phenomena in relation to Portuguese and Brazilian historical and socio-cultural contexts, as well as public and critical reception. To be able to analyse and communicate the main phases and authors of Brazilian and Portuguese literature with a good knowledge of the specific vocabulary. Capabilities: Contribute to the development of communication skills, application of their knowledge and refinement of learning practices. To mature an adequate capacity for critical judgement also in function of autonomous paths of research and in-depth study. The knowledge acquired at the end of the course may be applied by the student in a future professional context both in school teaching following the qualification processes and in cultural institutions and literary publishing and translation. The knowledge acquired at the end of the course can be applied by the student in a future professional context: in school teaching following the licensing processes, in cultural institutions and in publishing and literary translation. |

| Extended program | The aim of the course is to propose the study of one of the greatest Portuguese-language writers of the 20th century, Fernando Pessoa, a visceral and labyrinthine poet, founder of the ‘teatro em gente’, i.e. the galaxy of poets and other characters who lived within him and who were attempts to broaden consciousness, a desire to embody different possibilities of being and perceiving existence. With the best known ‘heteronyms’, such as Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and Bernardo Soares, Fernando Pessoa profoundly innovated Portuguese and Brazilian poetry, and not only. Many writers have established intertextual dialogues with Pessoa's work, from Nobel Prize winner José Saramago to Italian Antonio Tabucchi. |
