LITERARY MULTIMODAL AND INTERMEDIA LITERACY: BUIDING A READER/SCRIPTOR OF NEW MEDIAS

Abstract

This paper describes and discusses a course for undergraduate language students (Portuguese, Portuguese-French, Portuguese-English, Portuguese-Spanish) held at the Escola de Filosofia, Letras e Ciencias Humanas/UNIFESP, at the second semestre of 2015. The goal of the course, entitled "Literary Adaptation and Multimodality" was to help students understand, through the analysis of literary adaptations to different media, the key concepts in multimodality and intermedia literacy. The teaching strategy adopted was that of inviting the student to become a author/scriptor of a muldimodal intermedia transposition, reconfiguring the text of written literature (source media) into different media - film, comics, stop-motion (source media).
