EMERGENT/EMERGING LITERATURE

EMERGENT LITERATURE


     In our course, Contemporary, Popular and Emergent Literature, we have tackled about emergent literature. According to what LBCI have learned, emergent or emerging literature refers to new genres of scholarly discourse such as online collaborative spaces, academic blogs, websites, and e-prints. Emergent literature is also said to be the literature existing nowadays. It uses unconventional techniques, and doesn’t need to be published, to be converted to movie unlike popular literature. One good thing about emerging literature is that one just need to write it in a certain platform, make it trending and everyone can read it. Further, as I have done further research, I have found the characteristic of emergent literature which are as follows: demonstrate independence builds strong context knowledge, responds to the varying demand of audiences, task purpose ad discipline, comprehends as well as critique, value evidence and uses technology and digital media strategically and capably.

"SINIGANG"  by MARIE AUBREY J. VILLACERAN       " Sinigang" is a work of Philippine contemporary literature, a short story written in 2001. It narrates how Liza, dealt with the obstacle  along her way - his father having an extramarital affair with Sylvia which resulted to a son, her half-brother, Lem.      I personally pick this story because of its very Filipino title. Sinigang is a very popular dish here in the Philippines and I was so curious why it is entitled "Sinigang". My thoughts flow like this: Why is it entitled "Sinigang"? What does sinigang has to do with the story?  Is sinigang some sort of symbolism? As the story flows, my questions were answered and I just found myself loving the story. Moreover, I find the author witty for making such story flow in such as procedural manner.

SERVANT GIRL: REACTION TO THE SHORT STORY

" SERVANT GIRL" by  ESTRELLA D. ALFON     "Servant Girl" is written by Estrella D.
