Niazi & Lodhi (2020) discussed the significance of Bloom's Taxonomy in their study ,they argued that Bloom's taxonomy is based on the levels of reasoning skills.English language teaching could be facilitated by the emphasis on the levels of critical thinking skill.…”

BuildingThe Ark: Text World Theory and the evolution of dystopian epistolary

“…The Ark , and indeed transmedial texts of its kind, poses particular challenges for Text World Theory, both with regard to its ontological structure and in relation to how we map reading experience in Text-World-Theory terms. Through an examination of the The Ark ’s text-worlds, this work sets out to address such challenges, considering the process of multimodal meaning construction (building on the work of Gibbons (2011, 2012, 2016, 2019)), examining the conceptual intricacies of the epistolary form and exploring the influence of paratextual matter on world-building and construal.

Reconhece-se que "género literário" é um conceito evasivo que gera muitos debates teóricos.…”

“…Auxiliados por mecanismos gráfi cos e tecnológicos que possibilitam novas variantes num formato tão antigo como a página, alguns autores testam, num ambiente literário hipercontemporâneo, a amplitude fi ccional da narrativa. Este artigo tem como objetivo contextualizar essa "tendência para a página" -uma das possibilidades da literatura atual, na convergência entre escrita, design e materialidade do livro impresso -nas suas vertentes pictográfi ca, performativa, narrativa, ou outras, recorrendo ao auxílio de teóricos como Glyn White (2005), Simon Barton (2016), Johanna Drucker (1994Drucker ( , 2014, Alexander Starre (2015), Jessica Pressman (2009), Alison Gibbons (2013Gibbons ( , 2016, entre outros.…”
