Lecture: "Among Alices and mirrors: the mediator in literary education"

Inaugural lecture of the Festival of Literature and Children's and Youth Arts, FLIC Vic, with Rosa Tabernero Sala, of the Faculty of Humanities and Education of the University of Zaragoza.

The figure of the mediator is particularly important in literary education. In this context, the lecture considers three fundamental questions: why read, how to read and what to read. These three issues shape the contents of the lecture: the identity of the act of reading, how to incorporate literary reading into educational contexts, and the keys to selecting suitable works in the training of literary readers. The presentation is by Vanesa Amat, lecturer in Didactics of children's language and literature at the UVic-UCC and the holder of a doctorate in Didactics of Literature at the UAB, and Magalí Homs, director of the FLIC.

Rosa Tabernero Sala is a tenured lecturer in Didactics of Language and Literature at the University of Zaragoza, the lead researcher of the consolidated research group Education for Children's and Young People's Reading and Literature and identity construction, and director of the University of Zaragoza-specific master's degree in Children's and Young People's Reading, Books and Readers. She is editor of the Prensas Universitarias de Zaragoza collection [Re]pensar la educación ([Re]thinking education). She is the author of monographs and articles on children's and young people's literary discourse, ranging from theoretical studies of discourse analysis to research projects related to Infant, Primary, Secondary, Higher Secondary and University Education. She is currently part of the team of researchers working on the research project Los espacios virtuales para la promoción del libro y la lectura [Virtual spaces for promoting books and reading].
