    This book aims to provide a detailed study of young adult fiction concentrating on Mexican teenage (im)migrants to the United States and their search for identity.

The second chapter explores crucial factors which impact the protagonists¿ transcultural identity construction. The third chapter engages in theory mixing: Louise Rosenblatt¿s reader-response theory, the critical literacy approach of the New London Group, influences from the field of cultural studies and a model of literary competences are merged into an innovative theoretical framework that forms the basis of the teaching sequence presented.

  • - Literatur Kooperativ Erfahren
    af Katarina Nestorovic
    877,95 kr.

    Der Band untersucht die Wirkung des Lesezirkels auf Lernerautonomie im Englischunterricht. Mithilfe einer Fallstudie zeigt die Autorin auf, dass der Lesezirkel Binnendifferenzierung im Englischunterricht mit Literatur ermöglicht und damit eine Antwort auf die gegenwärtige Herausforderung der wachsenden Heterogenität der Schülerschaft im kompetenzorientierten Englischunterricht bietet. Die Sicht der Lernenden schlüsselt autonomieförderliche Lernbedingungen auf. Entscheidungsfreiheit, Kooperation und regelmäßige individuelle und gemeinsame Reflexionsphasen sind die Bausteine einer kooperativ-binnendifferenzierenden Praxis, die die persönliche Interaktion zwischen Lernenden und literarischen Texten in den Mittelpunkt rückt und Lernerautonomie freisetzt.

  • - Martin Amis's "Time's Arrow" As Trauma Fiction
    af Valentina Adami
    309,95 kr.

    Starting from an interdisciplinary theoretical investigation of trauma, the book analyzes the relationship between Trauma Studies and literature. In particular, it focuses on Martin Amis's novel Time's Arrow, where the breakdown of chronology, coherence and predictability mimics the collapse of temporality and the crisis of truth caused by trauma in the individual's mind. Amis's novel reproduces the shocking force of trauma through a shocking narrative form in order to avoid indifference and favour an empathetic and ethically committed reaction on the part of readers. For these reasons, Time's Arrow represents a significant example of trauma fiction.
