9.00 - 9.45 a.m.: From page to stage and screen - Claudia Ferradas
Objectives:
This introductory session (part of a special event made up of three presentations) will open reflection on ways in which literature interacts with media other than print or ebooks.

- Performance poetry
- Dub poetry
- Instapoetry
- Video/film poetry
- Considerations on transmedia
Methodology: The presenter will showcase examples of the artistic forms identified and encourage discussion on their potential for classroom use.
9.45 – 10.45 a.m.: Page to Possibility: Literature in the Age of Innovation - Florencia Borrello
Objectives:
This workshop explores the dynamic processes through which literature transcends its original form, focusing on textual adaptation, intervention, and remediation. By examining how stories evolve when adapted across mediums—such as novels becoming films, interactive narratives, navigatory texts, mash-up art, and AI-generated works—participants will uncover the creative and transformative potential of literature in a modern context.
Contents:
The session highlights examples of new writing and post-texts that challenge traditional boundaries, showcasing the interplay between original works and their reimaginings. Through discussion and collaborative exploration, this workshop demonstrates how literature continues to "jump off the page," reshaping our understanding of authorship, medium, genre, and meaning in a rapidly evolving literary landscape.
- General overview and characteristics of textual adaptation and remediation
- Discussion of new forms of literacy, literary (re)production and participatory cultures
- Discussion of different types of new writing and different (post)texts
Methodology: Presentation and discussion of textual adaptation and remediation. Exploration of some examples of new writing and different (post)texts. Group reflection and exchange of ideas on the main issues raised by the texts under analysis.
10.45 – 11.10: coffee break
11.10 – 12.30: Make the text stand up and move! - Susan Cocimano

We will walk through different activities which you can use and adapt with students.
You will be able to discover the very many interpretations a text can have when movement is involved.
