Università degli Studi di Napoli "Parthenope"

The course will provide both individual and group practical exercises. In addition, it provides e-learning lessons. This will allow students to exploit a systemic-interactionist model whose process focuses on the learner within a self-learning development through interacting and sharing with the group, which becomes an actual experiential laboratory. Students will be allowed to use the different tools of Microsoft Teams (chat, activities, glossaries). Students will be given the opportunity to watch films and documentaries in French and to attend conferences and seminars by world-famous francophone scholars.
The course is focused on the reading and analysis of authentic texts in French with the aim of highlighting the economy and culture of the country being studied. The starting point is the semiotic analysis of printed information through two different perspectives: cultural and economic.
The course will look as much as possible into the economy, finance and culture of the country being studied by employing axioms found in masterpieces of literature, and demonstrating how differently writers may anticipate the insights of economists and how economists can be inspired with the work of writers to clarify their own postulates.
