Title and Course Content

Literature and Interculture

"Our philological homeland is the earth; It can no longer be the nation. The language and culture of his own nation, which the philologist inherits, are certainly still his most precious and indispensable heritage; but only in distinction, in overcoming, does it gain effectiveness. We must return, in different circumstances, to what medieval culture already possessed before the formation of nations: to the recognition that thought has no nationality."
This reflection of the critic and philologist Eric Auerbach of 1952, so current in its modernity and in its intercultural cosmopolitanism, is the basis of the course of Intercultural Didactics dedicated to the relationship between literature and interculture.
The course offers an intercultural teaching of literature starting from texts by Dante, Tasso, Fortini, Zanzotto, Emecheta and Saro-Wiwa.
Part of the program is dedicated to practical applications in a learning environment for early childhood.
