Research lines

Research lines

 

The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures participates in the following research lines of the Doctorate Programme in Territory, Heritage and Culture.

Applied Languages

The line in research in Applied Languages provides advanced training on specific areas of language learning and use in bi- and multilingual contexts and from different scientific and professional perspectives such as linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, education, translation/interpretation and ICT.

 

English Philology and Linguistics

The line of research in English Philology and Linguistics offers the students the necessary training for academic research on English language, English literature and English cultures, as well as elements related with both linguistics and technology.

 

French Philology

See specific description for each sub-line.

  • French and Francophone Literature. It focuses on research on literatures in French, literary movements, authors, works; it explores the relationship between context and readership and examines the ethic and aesthetic values of the literary act.
  • Comparative French Literature and Francophone Literatures. It consists of the analysis of the relationships between francophone literatures with Catalan and/or Spanish literature. It is configured around a transnational and intercultural perspective. It also refers to the relationships between literature and critical thinking, or between literature and other artistic manifestations.
  • Culture and Society in French and French-Speaking Countries. It examines diverse thematic approaches to cultural, literary and artistic representations from the francophone world, such as multiculturalism, plurilingualism, identity constructions, postcolonial literatures, de-territorialized literatures, immigrant literatures and women’s writing.
  • Literary Theory and Humanist Theory in the Franchophone World. It includes research related to theoretical constructions and interpretation methodologies of French or francophone origin.
  • Teaching of French as a Foreign Language. It focuses on the teaching of French as a foreign language and as a specialization language as applied to diverse areas such as language acquisition –both native and non-native-, bilingualism, multilingualism, the teaching of communicative, cultural, intercultural and literary competences and/or the teaching of specialization languages (lexicology, lexicography and multilingual terminology)
  • French Linguistics. This line of research encompasses all the specific manifestations and all the disciplines related to the linguistic study of the French language, from both a diachronic and synchronic perspective.

 

Gender Studies

Analysis of reality and its representation using gender as a transdisciplinary analytical category that starts from the inequalities between men and women and refers to the traits and roles attributed to each sex in each historical moment and in each society. Gender relations are studied in different areas: literature, language, education, new technologies, media, urban planning and spatial planning, economy, history, etc.

Doctorate Programme in Education, Society and Quality of Life

Research lines

The Department of English and Linguistics participates in the following research lines of the Doctorate Programme in Education, Society and Quality of Life:

 

Age, Creativity and Quality of Life

 

This research line belongs to the Age Studies, more precisely, "Aging Studies" and it is likewise related with the so called "Life Course Studies". As part of this wide theoretical framework directly linked with gerontology studies and cultural studies, this research line promotes research in cultural representations of any age and stage of life in either literature, cinema, theatre, television or arts in general. Research in "Age Studies", aims at combatting ageism and any other form of marginalization and stereotyping traditionally attached to different ages and vital stages. It also tries to promote intersectional studies of age in which the interaction between, age, gender, social class, sexuality and other features of identity are analysed. Within this research framework, art is regarded as both reflection of and source of influence in the cultural construction of age and the ageing process. Moreover, it recognizes creativity, in general, and artistic production, in particular, as qualitative components of life quality in any stage of the life cycle.
