no prerequisites
The aim is to deepen the knowledge of Catalan poetry of the 20th century that could have been acquired previously (in Catalan Literature of the 20th century 1 and Catalan literature of the 20th century 2). With this goal some important books of the poetry of this century will be analyzed in relation to the currents and the poetic ones that characterize it.
Preference will be given to the detailed analysis of poems, and to the diverse documentation that allows to contextualise and illuminate them, in order to arrive at a reading or global interpretation of the book. Students are expected to progress in the written comment on poetic and critical texts, and in the oral exposition and defense of their readings.

The sessions devoted to reading focus on the analysis of compulsory reading works and other complementary texts. A list of works and bibliographical references associated with each reading will be available.
A detailed program and calendar of the sessions will be presented at the beginning of the course

The competences of this subject will be evaluated by means of an examination and of individual written and oral works.The evaluation system is organized in 3 modules, each of which will have a specific weight assigned in the final grade:
Module of presentations, analyzes and debates on texts in the classroom, with a global weight of 15% (each student must do at least one class intervention throughout the semester)
Module of written tests, with a global weight of 50% (a final exam on the subject)
Work delivery module, which will evaluate a job with a global weight of 35%
The individualized follow-up to the student will make those demands adapt slightly. The recovery system provides that different tests can be performed according to the student's learning needs, with the aim of recovering at least 50% of the activities carried out.To participate in the recovery the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight equals to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject, and must have achieved overall a rating between 3.5 and 4.9. The maximum recovery note is 5.
At the time of carrying out each evaluation activity, the teacher will inform the students (Moodle) of the procedure and date of review of the qualifications.
If the student has not obtained the approved but the activities performed have been evaluated positively, he will be considered "non-evaluable".
In the event that the student conducts any irregularity that can lead to a significant variation of the qualification of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be qualified with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be instructed. In case that there are several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0
