Teaching Methods
Seminar sessions, with the following methodologies: collective sessions of introductory explanation of contents; debate of core and of specific problems of the contents; critical readings of the selected texts. Assessment is individual and done at the end of the semester. It consists of a final written work, under the supervision of the teacher about a theme of the syllabus. This does not mean, however, that the students are not invited to present shorter individual works (reviews, commentaries, bibliographic research, etc).
