All lovers of reading Literature
We will read and discuss children and young adults´ literary texts to explore their contemporaneity and complexity. We will focus on the role of intertextuality to add to these texts’ many layers of meaning and intricacy which demand alert and open minded XXIst century readers. We will discuss different ways to address childhood and adolescence and trace the role of tradition in those texts which redefine children and young adults’ literature.
In this reading breakfast, we intend:
- To continue creating a reading community of lovers of literature.
- To continue developing reading strategies to tackle the ambiguous nature of literary texts.
- To learn about and explore children and young adults’ literature.
A selection of children and young adults’ literary texts with focus on intertextual dialogue.
Workshop. Dialogical and interactive approach in which participants will discuss the texts, the topics introduced and the role of intertextuality.
