El artículo es la crónica de la aplicación de una metodología pedagógica de corte cualitativo en la clase optativa “Los tres tiempos de la novela” impartida en la Facultad de Lenguas y Letras de la ...Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, México. Su forma, inspirada en las monografías etnográficas, intenta compartir al lector la experiencia de dos profesores de Letras y cinco alumnos de la Licenciatura en Estudios Literarios y de la Licenciatura en Letras Modernas, quienes compartieron, a lo largo de un semestre, un espacio de aprendizaje basado en una intervención educativa de corte estético. Dicha intervención encuentra su fundamentación en la metodología del Yo narrativo, caracterizada por cuatro principios axiomáticos y por el uso del género literario de la autoficción.
In this review, we investigated game design features that promote engagement and learning in game-based learning (GBL) settings. The aim was to address the lack of empirical evidence on the impact of ...game design on learning outcomes, identify how the design of game-based activities may affect learning and engagement, and develop a set of general recommendations for GBL instructional design. The findings illustrate the impact of key gaming features in GBL at both cognitive and emotional levels. We also identified gaming trends and several key drivers of engagement created by the gaming features embedded within GBL, as well as external factors that may have influences on engagement and learning.
La relevancia acordada a la producción de ciencia ficción desarrollada durante la década de los ochenta en Argentina parece, a cuarenta años de distancia, innegable. El siguiente artículo realiza un ...panorama del período en la hipótesis de que la sensibilidad que se desarrolla entre 1978 y el fin de siglo depende una nueva conceptualización de la ciencia ficción, que atiende a los desarrollos genéricos en tanto que procedimientos específicamente literarios.

Reflection on the literary genre has been a constant in the constitution of literary history. In this case, the book by Santiago Fernández Mosquera demands attention to the issue with different ...approaches to traditional genres. In Genres and Literary Construction in the Golden Age, its author analyzes the influential and sometimes determining value of the literary genre in the construction of Cervantes' prose, Calderón's theater or Quevedo's satire. Furthermore, beyond its intrinsic values, the book discovers and demonstrates that the notion of literary genre establishes a connection with the concepts of disappointment and decorum that illustrates the value of the works, as well as the behavior of the writers studied.
Literature is depiction of human life, culture and experiences. Literature engulfs both reality and imagination. Through the lens of Mythology one can experience the age old rich culture, rituals, ...practices and more. Lexically Mythology refers to sacred tales that is of real and imaginary. Study of myth and mythology enables one to probe more about ancient rituals and practices. Mythologies are of various types and every nation has its own vivid tales. Indian Mythology is not an exception; it has sumptuous tales about gods, goddesses, super natural agents, artistic elements, folklore and more. As ages pass by few tales are drew a blank, still many novelists retained the essence of mythology by retelling such myths in different genres of literature. Novelists such as Chitra Bannerjeee Divakaruni, Amish Tripathi, Kavita Kane, Devdutt Pattnaik and many writers restored the past through their retellings. In this paper I propose to show how mythology been retold in a novel way. Here I have chosen the novels of the eminent writer Devdutt Pattnaik and his works such as 7Secrets of Shiva, The Book of Ram, The Goddess in India, Brahma The Creator, Shikhandi: and other tales, 7 Secrets of the Goddess, Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of The Mahabarata, Myth=Mithya, Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana, My Gita and more. Through his retellings the ancient epics is retouched with the same grandeur and value. This paper aims at showcasing that these retellings can actually bring back the myths to cherish more and imbibe in one's life. Moreover these folklores and myths also have answers to many unsolved puzzles like Queer identity, laws of karma, nature's connection with mankind, and more._
