Training Goals

A clear characteristic of this program, which seeks to cross-reference discourses, is interdisciplinarity. The primary goal of the master's program is to help students advance their theoretical, analytical, and methodological knowledge in this field while bridging the gap between literature and linguistics by gaining a broad, decompartmentalized general culture founded on interdisciplinarity and curiosity for multiple fields.

In terms of methodology and research, the training aims to cultivate in the student a critical mindset that will subsequently enable them to center their reflection on matters pertaining to the field in question.

Targeting a perfect understanding of a cultural field for training in accordance with the mastery of mentalities generated from the language, this master's program also intends to train new teachers-researchers in French language and literature who choose to analyze literary discourse. Thus, this master's program is a part of an international and literary dynamic.

The goal of this master's program is to familiarize students with discourse analysis topics, which are significant in the human and social sciences today.

The ideas that are being offered will be applied to literary discourse in a special manner. It is true that the various discourses that define and discuss modern literature are essential to understanding it.

The main currents of modern and contemporary literary criticism are introduced to students enrolled in the master's program in Literature and Interdisciplinary Approaches. It blends concepts of the history of thought with an approach to literary metadiscourse, enabling the development of the skills required for discourse analysis (particularly literary, but also media, everyday, etc.) and the improvement of methods for the critical interpretation of literary works, as well as the comprehension of cultural presuppositions ingrained in both the discourse of the work and that of criticism.

All of this is done with the goal of fostering intellectual independence and encouraging the pursuit of multidisciplinary research.
