Objectives

This course intends to introduce the theoretical matrices and analytical tools central to contemporary intermedial and interarts studies, as well as to promote a reflection on the aesthetic, rhetorical, pragmatic and ideological implications of the relations between different media and between distinct artistic practices.

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of the course, students are expected to identify and develop a critical outlook on the different types of intermedial and interartistic relationships, to be able to recognize the possibilities, limits and implications of each of the practices associated with them, and to understand the actuality and relevance of these fields of study.

Eligibility for exams

With the exception of student workers and those with special educational needs, all must attend at least 75% of classes in order to pass the course. A number of unjustified absences above 25% will therefore imply failure with the classification “RFF” (“failed due to lack of attendance”).

Calculation formula of final grade

Assessment will be the result of the average between the following components, all of which are mandatory: questions for the guest speaker (25%), essay (25%) and exam (50%). The non-fulfillment, by any student, of one or more of the evaluation components will imply the failure of the curricular unit with the classification “RFC” (“failed due to lack of component”). In addition, any attempt at plagiarism or copying will result in the attribution of the score of 0 to the assessment component in which it is detected, as well as the failure of the curricular unit with the classification "RFR" ("failed for fraud").

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

In addition to the exemption from attending classes, the worker-student statute provides for a special assessment regime which, in the case of this curricular unit, is as follows: the student is exempt from the component of the questions for the guest speaker, whereas the written work is worth 50% and the oral defense 50% of the grade.

Classification improvement

Only the components of the essay and the exam are subject to appeal or improvement.
