Literature of C (Spanish) Language Area 3200-L2-LCH
The seminar discusses the history of Spanish literature from the 11th to the 20th century and Spanish American literature from the colonial period to the 20th century with a focus on 20th century prose. The classes aim not so much at the presentation of the exhaustive list of titles and dates, but focus rather at the selected presentations, major trends and most interesting works. The introductory part aims at preparing the students to individual, critical readings of texts from Spanish speaking countries. The second part is designed for text analysis and discussions; therefore, an active participation of the students is expected.
Compulsory course for second-year students (Spanish as language C).
The student's amount of labor:
Classes with the participation of the tutor – 60 hours
Individual work:
- preparation for the classes - 40 hours
- preparation of the paper – 10 hours
- preparation for the exams - 10 hours
If classroom learning is impossible, the workshop will be conducted with the help of distance communication tools, most probably Google Meet and others recommended by the University.
