Francophones Literatures

The examination consists of an individual interview, which opens with the student's reading and critical commentary on a passage, of his or her choice, from one of the works in the program. The interview then involves questions posed by the teacher, interactions between teacher and student, and further analysis and commentary on one or more aspects related to the works in the program. The interview varies in duration but averages around twenty minutes and is compulsorily conducted in French for students of the LM of Foreign Languages (Lingue e letterature europee ed extra-europee/European and Extra-European Languages and Literatures) French specialists; with the candidate's choice between Italian and French for all others. The interview aims to test the candidate's knowledge of the texts read (works and critical bibliography), ability to contextualize authors and works, skill in exposition, precision in the use of specific terminology, ability to reflect critically and personally on the proposed themes, and use of the textual analysis methodologies illustrated during the lectures. The final grade is expressed in thirtieths and the student has the option of refusing it (in which case it will be verbalized as "ritirato"/"withdrawn"). International or Erasmus incoming students are invited to contact the teacher promptly. The examination procedures for students with disabilities and/or with DSA must be agreed with the teacher, in agreement with the competent Office.
