Language and Literature teachers willing to integrate innovative texts, new media and visual literacies in their daily teaching
The purpose of this presentation is to acquaint participants with different types of new writing and literary experimentalism. To this end, we will explore the hypertextual re-working of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Patchwork Girl, by Shelley Jackson. This will, in turn, foster discussion among participants on their response to different textual forms, the role of popular participatory cultures, remediation and digital technologies to account for the "mediamorphosis" of literature in current times.
- General overview and characteristics of textual adaptation and remediation.
- Discussion of new forms of literacy, literary (re)production and participatory cultures.
- Discussion of the hypertextal re-working of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Patchwork Girl by Shelley Jackson.
Presentation and discussion of textual adaptation and remediation, intertextuality, collage, fragmentation and dissemination. Exploration of Shelley's hypotext and Jackson's hypertext. Guided group reflection and exchange of ideas on the main issues raised by the comparative analysis of the aforesaid texts.
