Textual Criticism
Provide students with the necessary skills to study the modes of production, transmission and preservation of statements, especially written, but also others, verbal or non-verbal. These skills translate into knowledge of the methodologies specific to the discipline of Textual Criticism and the reflective discourse with which it assures and renews its theoretical foundations, and enables them to work in the broad field of practical applications of the discipline.
The Master in Textual Criticism analyzes cases of production and documented transmission of utterances, fundamentally proposes the means to make the production and transmission processes accessible and legible, adapting the media to different audiences of users, and produces these media, which can be different types of scholarly edition, electronic edition, original revision, transposition of editions to specialized corpora, organic document inventories, codicological or manuscriptological descriptions.
