The course enables the student to master the subject (knowledge) in order to use and apply it in other fields of study with the correct use of the specific technical language (skills).
In application of the Dublin descriptors, the course:
1. provides the student/student with knowledge and understanding of the cultural practice of theater festivals and reviews from their nineteenth-century roots to the revivals and crisis of the second half of the twentieth century;
2. develops the autonomous ability to relate what has been learnt to other historical and cultural disciplines;
3. enables him/her to use the knowledge acquired and the specific language learnt for the so-called 'transversal competences' (autonomy of judgement, communication skills) and to develop them both in the analysis of the material covered in the lessons and in the reading and interpretation of new texts.Module A – The city into the theater.
