Objectives
Objectives
. To problematize the world in which we live, understanding reading as a crossroads of intentions, contexts, texts, ways of reading and readers; . To alert students to the amplitude of reading as an informal and formal, implicit and explicit activity, problematizing the interstices of denotation and connotation; . To Emphasize the importance and polysemy of interpretation, embracing a broad spectrum that encourages the interpenetration between cognition and action, emphasizing performative potentialities of reading dramatic texts; . To analyze theoretical and methodological implications of reading and criticism, from text to discourse, comparing approaches (rhetorical, philological, semiological and semiotic, hermeneutic and literary, crossing poetics, rhetoric and reception, emphasizing Discourse Analysis and its various schools and traditions); . To carry out the reading and analysis of the selected texts, belonging to the Political Theater of the XX century.
