Teaching method
Being a post-graduate seminar, the teachers presentations must be previously prepared by students, who must read the supporting bibliography in order to have a rich critical discussion. The students presentations will enrich the seminar by introducing other cases and perspectives related to fictional modes. Since students have already defined the subjects of their future thesis, some classes will focus on these themes, inviting other professors when needed.
Evaluation method
Participation in class and preparation and execution of a research paper, in three stages: project, with working plan and preliminary bibliography (20%); oral presentation in class, and its discussion (30%); final written essay (50%).
