Doctoral School in Philology and Literary History

School coordinator: prof. Gabriella Moretti
Vice- coordinator: prof. Giorgio Ieranò

Curricula:
1st Greek and Latin literary language
2nd Traditions in the texts and history of Italian literature

Goals:
- Study of the genres and formal traditions of literary language in the fields of Classical Studies and Italian Literature.
- Study of the disciplines traditionally linked to the history of literature, from paleography to papyrology, from metrics to epigraphy and the history of tradition.
- Learning and practice of the scientific instruments needed for research in the two different fields of activity.  
The Doctoral course will tackle questions regarding the exegesis of literary works, with shared courses and research seminars; it will use specific seminars for each of the two specialized curricula, to handle issues that most directly involve the research subjects proposed to the students in the fields of classic and modern literature.
Regarding the wideness of the research areas in the Doctoral School, a number of interdisciplinary topics will be handled, concerning both the constitution of literary objects (the relation between writers and their respective social forms, institutions, religious and folkloristic traditions constituting macro and micro inter-texts, and different forms of communication and reception) and their exegesis. Relations with historical disciplines will be dealt.
