Objectives and Contextualisation
This module provides analytical tools for understanding literary texts from various critical approaches. The objective is for the future researcher to identify the methodologies underlying the interpretative approach of different literary texts and to be able to grasp how a particular text dialogues with the preceding tradition (UB teaching in particular). At the same time, this course provides a gallery of research case-studies (UAB teaching in particular) so that students may learn research methodologies and how to resort to research tools, which are equally useful to those wishing to work in the field of documentary cultural research in the media.
Competences
- Apply the research methods of linguistics and literary studies.
- Construct a well-argued critical evaluation of a linguistic or literary analysis.
- Contextualise texts for analysis and production.
- Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously
- Show respect for the opinions, values, behaviours, and practice of other researchers and professionals.
Learning Outcomes
- Compare the different methodological approaches to the study of linguistic typology, the main typological classifications of natural languages and the theoretical principles underpinning the typologies.
- Continue the learning process, to a large extent autonomously
- Display knowledge of the great historical, cultural and literary movements.
- Distinguish and analyse historiographic methodologies

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral presentation (25% "bloc A"; 25% "bloc B") | 50% | 8 | 0.32 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 |
| Participation in discussions (10% "bloc A"; 10% "bloc B") | 20% | 6 | 0.24 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 |
| Written works (15% "bloc A"; 15% "bloc B" | 30% | 10 | 0.4 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 |
The competences of this subject will be evaluated through oral presentations (one for "Bloc A" and another for "Bloc B"), of which a short written script will be presented, and the active participation in the corresponding comments and debates. Individualized follow-up of the student will make these requirements slightly adaptable. 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 performed.
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place.
To participate in the recovery the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject, and must have achieved in set a rating between 3.5 and 4.9. The maximum grade for recovery is 5. In order to pass the subject it is necessary to obtain a 5.
The student will receive the grade "Not evaluable" if not has delivered more than 30% of the evaluation activities.
In the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded with 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed. In the event of several irregularities in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0. In the event that the tests cannot be carried out in person, their format will be adapted (maintaining their weighting) to the possibilities offered by the UAB’s virtual tools. Homework, activities and class participation will be done through forums, wikis and / or exercise discussions through Teams, ensuring that all students can access them.
Non continuous assessment
1. Oral presentation (25% block A; 25% block B) on the day scheduled for the non continuous assessment
2. Written script about the oral presentation (15% block A; 15% block B) delivered the same day of the non continuous assessment
3. Written summary of one lecture from each block (10% block A; 10% block B) throughout the course, delivered the same day of the non continuous assessment.
The same assessment method as continuous assessment will be used.
Bibliography
Specific bibliography will be indicated throughout the course.
