• This course is aimed at students who have a strong passion about literature ( of any era, country or genre) and more broadly about culture (theatre, cinema, music, and arts ...) At the same time, they have to be interested in the reality of our modern time and the modern social issues. Cultural and Literary comprehension is instrumental in the analysis of environmental, social and media issues. Literature students assume a critical eye on cultural works to better understand outstanding issues. 

• Finally, creative students can express themselves by making original written or oral productions.
