Teachers interested in Literature, Philosophy and Critical Pedagogies
We will aim at:
- Exploring the literary representation of the human in King Lear and proposing a
contemporary posthuman turn to our reading of the Shakespearean text.
- Analyzing the extent to which the characters that depict the human relate to nature and
landscape at the core Shakespearean drama
- Approaching King Lear from the perspective of Posthuman Pedagogy and Ecocritical Studies.
- Carrying forward a systematic instrumental analysis of the literary text to suit the AS
Cambridge exam.
Theory
• Framing the context: the Anthropocene in Jacobean times.
• Exploring the new paradigmatic crisis: Humanism vs. the Antihuman turn at the core of the
Renaissance man.
• Defining the object of study: anthropocentrism vs. biocentrism.
- Pedagogy
• Posthuman Pedagogy and Ecocriticism: helping learners engage critically and empathically.
• Presenting key notions.
• Exploring hands-on approaches to the literary text.
• Systematizing an instrumental reading of the literary text through the lens of posthuman and
ecocritical theory and pedagogy to meet the needs of AS students
Methodology
1) Presentation and discussion of how to approach literary texts through posthuman
approaches.

2) Exploration of the object of study King Lear in the light of the framework proposed to
enrich Cambridge AS-oriented classes and to propose innovative approaches to the
language and literature classes.
3) Instrumental reading and systematic analysis of King Lear to cater for AS classes.
4) Presentation of Posthuman Pedagogy, its main tenets and its didactic implications and
contribution to intercultural education.
