Language and Literature teachers willing to integrate Narrative Medice, Comprehensive Sex Education, 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 explore the emerging field of Narrative Medicine, as well as
Comprehensive Sex Education (CES), and its application in literature education. Discover how
literature can enhance emotional intelligence and well-being, and explore methods to integrate
this interdisciplinary approach into teaching. To this end, we will analyse and discuss a theatre
play and explore its hypertextual relationship with other texts. This will, in turn, foster reflection on the role of popular participatory cultures, remediation and the Derridian concept of the spectre to account for CSE and the "mediamorphosis" of literature in current times.
- General overview and characteristics of narrative medicine, textual adaptation and remediation.
- Discussion of new forms of literacy, literary (re)production and participatory cultures.
- Exploration of the Derridian concept of the spectre.
- Discussion of the theatre play, its hypotexts, hypertexts and intertexts.
Presentation and discussion of narrative medicine, textual adaptation and remediation, intertextuality, collage, fragmentation and dissemination. Exploration of the Derridian concept of the spectre. Guided group reflection and exchange of ideas on the main issues raised by the comparative analysis of the texts read during the workshop.
