- Abstract
- The chronotope is suggested as going beyond the didactic to embrace the artistic and cultural in children's responses to their reading and writing. The essentially solipsistic concerns of young children and young adults in schools may be engaged using the suggestive possibilities of the chronotope as an organising feature of teaching reading and writing in a number of genres and production of text types, affording new ways of approaching reading and writing in classrooms. The chronotope opens up spaces for literary and pedagogical responses that takes teachers and students beyond the traditional and conventional referents of characterisation, plot, theme, setting, style, and so on. While this paper's focus is on literature designed for Australian children and young adults, the concepts may be applied more generally in relation to literature from within other cultures as well.; C1
