Tema 15. L'assaig: Joan Fuster

Joan Fuster fou historiador de la cultura, crític literari i poeta, però sobretot assagista: el més important i modern de la literatura del segle XX. Als anys cinquanta, el gènere assagístic es va veure afectat per causes externes —entre d'altres, la censura, la repressió franquista i la manca d'una tradició operativa—, de manera que les poques aportacions rellevants es van produir a l'exili. Als anys seixanta, amb la suavització de la censura, la situació canvià, i és ací on apareix Fuster.

Descartes' Quest for Certainty Through Doubt

René Descartes, through his Cartesian method, aimed to demonstrate that human reason is capable of discovering fundamental evidences (born from doubt) to construct knowledge. Therefore, his method would be doubt, and his objective, the search for truth. "Doubt is the epistemological procedure to arrive at certainty."

The Cartesian Method: Four Rules

1. Criterion of Evidence: To accept nothing as true unless it presents itself clearly and distinctly.
2. Analysis: To divide each difficulty into as many parts as possible for a thorough study.
3. Synthesis: To conduct thoughts in an orderly fashion, starting with the simplest and easiest to know, and gradually ascending to the more complex.
4. Enumeration: To make enumerations

Personal Correspondence and Holiday Memories

An Email from Irene

Email: Hi! How are you? It has been a long time since we last met; it is about time we get together for a coffee. This summer, I went on vacation with my family to nearby places. We saw many people, and I had a brilliant time. You have to see the photos and videos I took; you are going to love them. I hope we meet when you come back to Spain for Christmas to see the family, who missed you, as did I. I hope you enjoy your time there; we are waiting for you here with open arms. Kisses, Irene.

Unitat 2: Literatura als segles XVI, XVII i XVIII

Panorama general

L'època moderna la constitueixen tres segles de gran importància en les grans cultures europees. En el cas del català es va produir una davallada general, de quantitat i de qualitat, en la literatura culta. La popular va mantenir un bon nivell. Segles XVI, XVII i XVIII de decadència.

El Renaixement, el Barroc i la Il·lustració són tres moviments importants, però no vam comptar amb grans escriptors a l'antiga corona d'Aragó a causa d'esdeveniments polítics, econòmics i sociolingüístics.

Davallada de la literatura catalana culta

Conseqüències:

• Castellanització de l'aristocràcia dels antics territoris de la corona d'Aragó.
• Pèrdua del poder de la burgesia catalana, afeblida
