Critical Approaches to Children's Literature |
| Description: |
Stories are told today through many formats and young interpreters bring multimedia experience to bear on every narrative format they encounter. In this book, twelve young people read a novel, watch a film and play a video game from beginning to end. Their responses inform a new framework of contemporary themes of narrative comprehension. |
| Synopsis: |
In an era of rapid change, a new understanding is needed of how new and old literacies and literatures iunterrelate - how (and if) do we transfer literate understanding developed in one medium to our processing of another? This fascinating and original new study explores the ways in which we make sense of narrative through an in-depth exploration of the responses of 18-21-year-old interpreters to narratives in book, film and video game format. Mackey takes their observations and locates them in a theoretical framework that explores the relationships between reading and other forms of media interpretation, in the context of entire stories rather than selected extracts. The result is a dynamic new way of looking at contemporary forms of narrative, and a valuable perspective on changing media formats. |
