Teaching method
The postgraduate seminars are both theoretical and practical with a strong interactive component on the part of the students. The theoretical component will include explanations by the teacher, with a view to problematizing the theoretical contents of the programme. The practical seminars will be based on the participation of the students who will be invited to submit translations and critical reviews of texts related to the contents of the programme. There will be individual tutorial sessions, with a view to preparing a final assignment.
Evaluation method
Assessment will focus on the written presentation of an essay or a commented translation (80%) and the respective oral presentation and discussion (20%).
