Prerequisites

It is necessary to accredit (according to the procedures provided by the coordination) the sufficient level.


Objectives and Contextualisation

The aim of this module is to address the theoretical frameworks and put into practice techniques and methodologies that are suitable for an advanced level of playwriting.


Learning Outcomes

  1. CA13 (Competence) Clearly distinguish the specificity of ?professions?, activities, categories, techniques and methodologies related to dramaturgy.
  2. CA14 (Competence) Evaluate diverse aesthetic and ideological options during research into a composition process.
  3. KA24 (Knowledge) Indicate the techniques, procedures and suitable categories to create personal writing processes.
  4. KA25 (Knowledge) Compare and incoporate tools typical of dramaturgy into the structures originating from other stage languages.
  5. SA21 (Skill) Critically apply dramaturgy analysis techniques and methods, that arise both from acquired creative experience and the comparison or fusion of written composition model documents.

Content

This module presupposes a certain level of previous knowledge on the part of the students (professional experience or training acquired in the subject) which will be taken into account before the registration of the subject.
Like Laboratory I, it is a theoretical-practical module. There will be reflection on categories, problems, methodologies and techniques specific to the discipline.

The theoretical part will focus on concepts related to the contemporary debate (history, fiction, commitment, score text, material text, rhapsody, implicit receiver design, etc.) The practical part, according to these ideas, will focus exclusively on exercises and processes contemporary dramatic writing staff.


Activities and Methodology

Title Hours ECTS Learning Outcomes
Type: Directed      
Expository classes and debates 15 0.6
Tutorials 30 1.2
Writing seminars 15 0.6
Type: Autonomous      
Writing 90 3.6

The theoretical classes will be combined with the reading and analysis of theoretical texts and creative texts. On the other hand, students will have to develop a practical writing assignment.

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
Follow-up of writing work I 50% 0 0 CA13, CA14, KA24, KA25, SA21
Writing works II 50% 0 0 CA13, CA14, KA24, KA25, SA21

Continuous evaluation that assesses the relevant participation of the student in the sessions and also the fact of bringing the work up to date.
Final work that brings together the processes developed throughout the course.

This subject/module does not incorporate single assessment.

 

Review of grades and recovery: at the time of proposing/developing the exercises or activities, the teacher will establish the procedure for review of grades and, if the activity is not approved, the recovery procedure.

 

The qualification "not assessable" will be awarded as long as at least one third of the proposed activities is not delivered.

 

This subject allows the use of AI technologies exclusively for support tasks such as [***bibliographic or content-based searches, text correction or translations, where applicable]. In the case of subjects in a Modern Languages degree, use of translation must be specifically authorised by the teacher. Other specific situations may be contemplated, as deemed appropriate by the teacher. The student must clearly (i) identify which parts have been generated using AI technology; (ii) specify the tools used; and (iii) include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and final outcome of the activity. Lack of transparency regarding the use of AI in the assessed activity will be considered academic dishonesty; the corresponding grade may be lowered, or the work may even be awarded a zero. In cases of greater infringement, more serious action may be taken.
