This course does not have prerequisites.
This optional, four-monthly course is programmed in the mention of Journalism specialized in culture and society (fourth year). Its formative objective is that the student, in addition to enjoying reading, knows how to contextualize the great currents of contemporary Catalan literature in relation to universal literary traditions. The student must also know the authors and the most relevant works and become familiar with the fundamental bibliography of the period and with the reading strategies that allow him/her to develop a critical discourse.
1. The post-war period (1939-1959). The rupture of Francoism and the cultural and literary recovery. Periodization (1939-1946-1959). Historical and cultural description
2. Historical realism (1959-1968) as a programme of transformations and as aesthetics. The attempt to configure a literary movement and alternative proposals. Historical and cultural description
3. The 1970s and subsequent derivations. The "generation" of the seventies and the new literary models. A new attempt to institutionalise culture
The subject is distributed in theoretical sessions and reading seminars that can be flipped classroom. The theoretical sessions have a panoramic and contextualizing character and include the commentary of literary and criticism texts. The reading sessions prepare the student for oral presentations.
The detailed calendar with the content of the different sessions and with the five required readings will be exposed on the day of presentation of the subject. Students will find all information on the Virtual Campus: the description of the activities, teaching materials, and any necessary information for the proper follow-up of the subject. In case of a change of teaching modality for health reasons, teachers will make readjustments in the schedule and methodologies.

Note about the interview
The objectives of an interview with a writer should be, at the very least:
1) to make known the trajectory and the most outstanding constants of the literary work of the person being interviewed;
2) comment in depth on the meaning of theirworks, based on prior documentation, the more exhaustive and detailed the better (reading of works, research on the author, etc.).
Care must be taken to ensure that the presentation is attractive and that the viewing works technically. Once edited, the interviews must be published in a virtual portal in order to recover them and avoid technical problems.
You can interview any active writer who is part of the Associació d'Escriptors en Llengua Catalana (http://www.escriptors.cat/).
You can be inspired by the following journalistic references: Montserrat Roig, Josep Maria Espinàs, Baltasar Porcel or Bernard Pivot. The content, cohesion and coherence of the result will be valued above all.
