MODULE 5: ICT-Based Adaptation of Literary Text

1. Hyperpoetry is a very visual kind of digital poetry that uses links

using hypertext mark-up. It is related to hypertext fiction and visual
arts. The links mean that a hypertext poem has no set order and that the
poem is moving or being generated in response to the links that the
reader/user chooses by clicking on that link.
2. Blog is an online journal of some content depending on the “blogger” or
writer. It allows a writer to build up his or her credibility depending on
the content he or she posts and the frequency of the posts. The more
creative the post the more the site becomes known.
3. Mobile Phone Text tula is a short poetry usually written on a mobile
phone, this genre can use short traditional forma verses. The usual
syllable count used is 7777, with rhyme scheme aabb, abab, abba.
4. Chick lit or Chick literature is a fictional story usually written with a
female protagonist. This usually features the trials and successes of the
lives of the characters.
5. Speculative fiction is usually a made up story which may not just fall
into one category such as science fiction, supernatural, even futuristic. It
transforms the laws of possibility as we know them in the real world and
in the current society, and then speculates on what would and what
could happen.
6. Flash fiction is typically a short fictional story anywhere from 1000-
1500 words. It may be 100-word drabbles or six-word-story kind.
Popular themes are romance, thrillers, horror, sci-fi, and fanfiction.
7. Graphic Novels are stories usually presented as a comic form. This may
be
presented like a big book of information or stories.
8. Digi-Fiction means digital fiction, this involves three media namely,
book, movie/video, and internet. Students will be engaging in reading,
viewing and navigating the featured story or stories.

from the World

Sylva Fischerová
was born in 1963 in
Prague. She grew up
in the Moravian
town of Olomouc as
a daughter of non-
Marxist
philosopher whose works
were banished under
communist rule.
She returned to Prague to
study philosophy and
physics, and later
Greek and Latin, at
Charles University where she now teaches ancient Greek literature and
philosophy. She has published seven volumes of poems in Czech, and her
poetry has been translated and published in numerous languages. An earlier
selection of her poems, The Tremor of Racehorses, translated by Ian and
Jarmila Milner, was published by Bloodaxe in 1990. She recently began to
write prose, and two books of her stories (Miracle and Passage), as well as
two books for children, appeared in 2005. The Swing in the Middle of Chaos:
Selected Poems, co-translated with Stuart Friebert, was published by
Bloodaxe in 2010.
MODULE 8: 21st Century Literary Genres

A Literary Genre is an artistic category or style of writing. It allows

literary critics and students to classify compositions within the larger
canon of literature. Genre (pronouncedˈzhän-rə) is derived from the
French phrase genre meaning “kind” or “type.” Each literary genre
has its unique and important features that will aid the intended
readers in fully analyzing a literary text. Read and comprehend
carefully the elements of various 21st century literary genres.
1. Poetry
As poetry has evolved, it has taken on numerous forms, but in general, poetry
is the genre of literature which has some form of meter or rhyme with focus
based on syllable counts, musicality, and division of lines (lineation). Unlike
prose which runs from one end of the page to the other, poetry is typically
written in lines and blocks of lines known as stanzas. Poetry may be in the
form of narrative, lyrical, or dramatic.
2. Drama
Drama is a text which has been written with the intention of being performed
for an audience. Dramas range from plays to improvisations on stage. Its two
main types are Tragedy and Comedy.
3. Non-fiction Prose
Prose is a form of language that has no formal metrical structure. It applies a
natural flow of speech, and ordinary grammatical structure, rather than
rhythmic structure. Non-fiction prose refers to any literary work that is based
mainly on facts. This includes autobiography, biography, character sketch,
diary or journal, editorial, and essay.
4. Prose Fiction
Prose Fiction is a literary work that is wholly or partly imagined or
theoretical. Examples of this are myths, legends, parables, fables, fairy tales,
short stories, novels, and novellas.
5. Creative Nonfiction
The words “creative” and “nonfiction” describe the form. The word
“creative” refers to the use of literary craft, the techniques fiction writers,
playwrights, and poets employ to present nonfiction—factually accurate prose
about real people and events—in a compelling, vivid, dramatic manner. The
goal is to make nonfiction stories read like fiction so that your readers are as
captivated by fact as they are by fantasy. This creative nonfiction type of
literature can be in the form of an essay, a journal article, a research paper, a
memoir, or a poem; it can be personal or not, or it can be all of these.
6. Hyperpoetry
This genre, also called cyber poetry, is a form of digital poetry that uses links
using hypertext mark-up. It refers to works of verse (although not necessarily
in lines and stanzas)which could not be presented without the computer.
Hyperpoetry includes verse with links to sub-poems or footnotes, poetry
“generators,” poetry with movement or images. It is usually highly steeped in
the visual and sometimes involves parts that are read in varying orders.
7. Blog
Blog (abbreviated version of "weblog") is an online journal or informational
website displaying information in the reverse chronological order. A blog
features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other websites. It is
also a platform where a writer or even a group of writers share their views on
an individual subject.
A typical blog includes:
• Header with the menu or navigation bar
• Main content area with highlighted or latest blog posts
• Sidebar with social profiles, favorite content, or call-to-action
• Footer with relevant links like a disclaimer, privacy policy, contact page,
etc.
8. Mobile Phone Text Tula
A particular example of this poem is a tanaga, a type of Filipino poem,
consisting of four lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the
end of each line - that is to say a 7-7-7-7 syllabic verse, with an AABB rhyme
scheme. The modern tanaga still uses the 7777 syllable count, but rhymes
range from dual rhyme forms: AABB, ABAB, ABBA; to freestyle forms such
as AAAB, BAAA, or ABCD. Tanagas do not have titles traditionally because
the tanaga should speak for itself. However, moderns can opt to give them
titles. They are being sent through SMS on mobile phones with friends,
families, loved ones, and through netizens.
9. Chick Lit
Chick lit is a genre fiction which addresses issues of modern womanhood,
often humorously and lightheartedly. Chick lit or Chick literature consists of
heroine-centered narratives that focus on the trials and tribulations of their
individual protagonists. Although it sometimes includes romantic elements,
chick lit is generally not considered a direct subcategory of the romance novel
genre, because the heroine's relationship with her family or friends is often
just as important as her romantic relationships.
10. Speculative Fiction
Speculative fiction is a term, attributed to Robert Heinlein in 1941, that has
come to be used to collectively describe works in the genres of science fiction,
fantasy, horror, supernatural, superhero, utopian and dystopian, apocalyptic
and post-apocalyptic, and alternate history. Speculative fiction is a broad
category of narrative fiction that includes elements, settings
and characters created out of imagination and speculation rather than based
on reality and everyday life.
11. Flash Fiction
Flash fiction is another genre of literature in which stories are extremely
short and often consist of a few hundred words or fewer in its entirety.
This is quite different to the concept of a short story, which is usually several
pages long and can notch up thousands of words. Works of flash fiction, by
contrast, can comprise as little as a single page or 250 words. This has to
cover a lot of ground with few words. Imagine the typical story arch with a
beginning, rising action, climax, and conclusion. Many flash fiction stories
are able to touch on all of those elements, all within the strict word count.
The word limit provides a very creative challenge.
12. Digi Fiction
Digital Fiction is fiction that is written for and read from a computer and can
be web- or app-based (for tablets and smartphones) or accessed via CD-
ROMs. Digital fictions are different to e-books, however. Rather than existing
as a digital version of a print novel, digital fictions are what are known as
“born digital” – that is, they would lose something of their aesthetic and/or
structural form and meaning if they were removed from the digital medium.
For example, they may contain hyperlinks, moving images, mini-games or
sound effects. Further, unlike e-books in which the reader moves from one
page to another in a linear fashion, in many digital fictions, the reader has a
role in constructing the narrative, either by selecting hyperlinks or by
controlling a character’s journey through the story world. Digital fictions
require the reader’s interaction with the narrative throughout the reading
experience and include texts such as hypertext fictions, flash fictions and
some video games. In order to get to the full story, the reader must engage in
navigation, reading, viewing in all three formats.
13. Graphic Novel
Graphic Novel is a type of text combining words and images—essentially a
comic, although the term most commonly refers to a complete story presented
as a book rather than a periodical. They are similar to comic books because
they use sequential art to tell a story. However, they are generally standalone
stories with more complex plots. In graphic novels, the story is told using
pictures in sequence, panels, speech balloons, and other conventions of the
comic book form and format. Figurative language, symbolism, and other
literary devices may also be present.
14. Manga
This is a Japanese or Japanese-influenced comic. It is usually printed in
black-and-white. There are many genres inside manga, the most distinct
being shojo (for girls) and shonen (for boys).
15. Doodle Fiction
It is a literary presentation where the author incorporates doodle drawing and
handwritten graphics in place of traditional format. Drawings enhance the
story, often adding humorous elements that would be missing if the
illustrations were omitted.
16. Illustrated Novel
It is a narrative medium that utilizes both images and text to tell a story. It is
certainly word-based with a scattering of illustrations, usually of critical
turning points of the story. Here, the reader must interpret the images to
comprehend completely the story. Textual portions are presented in a
traditional form. Some illustrated novels may contain no text at all.
17. Text-talk novels
These stories are told almost completely in dialogue simulating social network
exchanges.
