Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Oriental Studies; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. 4 The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £150 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages will move to the Schwarzman Centre upon the completion of the project. For more information please visit: www.humanities.ox.ac.uk Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages The Faculty is one of the leading centres for the study of European language, literature, and culture worldwide, offering expertise in the entire chronological range from the earliest times to the present day, and with specialists in film studies, cultural studies, history of the book, and cultural history as well as languages and literatures. The Faculty offers expertise in French, German, Italian, Modern Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish and Czech, as well as in a range of other languages spoken in Europe. Colleagues across the various languages work together in various interdisciplinary projects and research centres, which bring specialists in language and literature together with historians, philosophers, and social studies scholars. The Faculty is partly college-based with most academics having offices in colleges, and partly housed in University buildings for the Faculty’s professional services staff and teaching spaces. From October 2025, the Faculty spaces will be in the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. In addition to a new Humanities library, plus office and teaching space, the building will offer a range of new public spaces, including a 500-seat concert hall and a 250-seat auditorium, as well as flexible performance and exhibition spaces for music, dance, and art. There will be a café open to staff, students and members of the public. It is designed to be as accessible and as environmentally sustainable as possible. The Taylor Institution, a fine nineteenth-century building sharing with the Ashmolean Museum a commanding site on St Giles’, contains both the Taylorian Library, the largest and best resourced Modern Languages library in the country, and the Faculty’s largest teaching rooms. The Faculty is divided into seven sub-faculties: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and other Slavonic Languages, Spanish and Modern Greek. It includes 11 established professorships as well as 15 individuals with the title of professor and 80 permanent academic post holders. The colleges, which are responsible for undergraduate admissions and undergraduate tutorial teaching, admit a total of about 270 students a year to read for the Honour School of Modern Languages and its joint schools with Classics, English, History, Philosophy, Oriental Studies and Linguistics.

See www.newcomers.ox.ac.uk. 9 APPENDIX 1: EXTRACT FROM HANDBOOKS PRELIMS COURSE (YR 1) LANGUAGE Beginners and non-beginners sit two language papers at the end of Trinity Term. The language papers are as follows: PAPER I: You have to translate a short passage of English into Portuguese, write a short composition and do several monolingual grammatical exercises. PAPER II: You have to translate one passage of Portuguese into English (IIA) and translate and answer comprehension questions on a second passage (IIB). Past papers may be consulted online, via SOLO: Past exam papers (OXAM) | Bodleian Libraries In order to pass the Preliminary Examination in Portuguese, colleges must present, for each candidate, a certificate of attendance and active participation in oral classes. Candidates must attend and actively participate in no fewer than eight oral classes of at least one hour before the end of the fourth week of the Trinity Term of their first year. The classes may consist of reading aloud with attention to proper pronunciation and intonation, and/or discussion of passages dealing with issues in contemporary culture. The Senior Tutor of each candidate's college is required to submit to the Undergraduate Studies Administrator, Modern Languages, Examinations Office, 41 Wellington Square a certificate endorsed by the Senior Tutor and a Modern Languages Tutor (the latter acting on behalf of the sub-faculty) stating that they have attended, and participated in, the required number of classes. Certification is required by noon on the Friday of 5th week of Trinity Term. Candidates who fail to satisfy this requirement for the June examination shall have their mark for each of the two written language papers reduced by ten marks. Candidates for a language paper or papers in the September examination who have not previously, in that academic year, satisfied the attendance requirement will be examined viva voce to demonstrate at least basic competence in the spoken language. LITERATURE Few students have studied Portuguese literature at school, and therefore the course is intended to develop techniques of close reading, while introducing a wide range of literary genres from different periods and locations within the Lusophone world. The breadth of the syllabus makes it possible for you to make an informed choice when selecting a period of literature paper to study after the Prelim. At the end of Trinity Term, students sit two literature papers. PAPER III: You will read three twentieth-century works, none of them long, but widely different in style and subject matter. All three are modern classics, and each represents a major strand in modern Lusophone literature. Multiple copies of the books are available in the Modern Languages Library (Taylorian Institute) and some college libraries, but most students find it useful to purchase their own copies. The set texts are: • Alda Lara, Poemas • Clarice Lispector, Laços de família • Lídia Jorge, O vale da paixão 10 The exam will give students the chance to choose between a literary commentary and a selection of essay questions on each of the set texts. Students must write three answers, involving a combination of commentaries and essays. PAPER IV: You will study the historical evolution of a literary genre, the unique Portuguese dramatic form known as the Auto. You will read two short plays written in the sixteenth century by Portuguese dramatist Gil Vicente, and two twentieth-century Brazilian plays by João Cabral de Melo Neto and Ariano Suassuna respectively. You will be encouraged to think how the Auto developed over time and was appropriated by dramatists from different social/historical backgrounds and with varying aesthetic intents. You will also study a twenty-first-century play by a Portuguese woman writer, Ana Luísa Amaral, and see how it appropriates a range of earlier western literary traditions. The set texts are: • Gil Vicente, Auto da Índia and Auto da Barca do Inferno • João Cabral de Melo Neto, Morte e Vida Severina • Ariano Suassuna, Auto da Compadecida • Ana Luisa Amaral, Próspero Morreu Students must answer three questions in this paper, and these must include a combination of essays and critical commentaries. A comparative essay is a compulsory component of the exam. 11
