He also possesses literacy skills, which include technological abilities such as keyboarding, internet navigation, interpretation of technological speak, ability to communicate and interpret coded language and decipher graphics.

What Is It To move on with this lesson, let us unlock important terms:



21st-century literature - all literary works written and published in the latter part of the 21st century (from 2001 onwards). These works are often characterized as gendersensitive, technologically alluding, culturally pluralistic, operates on the extreme reality of extreme fiction, and question conventions and supposedly absolute norms. - SHS Curriculum Guide, 21st Century Literature of the Philippines and the World literary genre - a category of literary composition. Genres may be determined by literary technique, tone, content, or even (as in the case of fiction) length. The 3

distinctions between genres and categories are flexible and loosely defined, often with subgroups. The most general genres in literature are (in loose chronological order) epic, tragedy, comedy, and creative nonfiction. They can all be in the form of prose or poetry. Additionally, a genre such as satire, allegory, or pastoral might appear in any of the above, not only as a subgenre but as a mixture of genres. Finally, they are defined by the general cultural movement of the historical period in which they were composed. Genre should not be confused with age categories, by which literature may be classified as either adult, young- adult, or children. They also must not be confused with formats, such as a graphic novel or picture book. -SHS Curriculum Guide, 21st Century Literature of the Philippines and the World Genre, in broad terms, refers to any works that share certain characteristics. If enough characteristics are in common, then the pieces are said to be in the same genre.

Most Notable Literary Genres in the 21st Century

a. Poetry - It is a type of literature that conveys a thought, describes a scene, or tells a story in a concentrated, lyrical arrangement of words. Poems can be structured, with rhyming lines and meter. The rhythm and emphasis of a line are based on syllabic beats. Poems can also be free from which follows no formal structure. It is further subdivided into different genres, such as epic poem, narrative, romantic, dramatic, and lyric. Dramatic poetry includes melodrama, tragedy, and comedy, while other poems include ode, sonnet, elegy, ballad, song, and epic. Poetry today is usually written down but is still sometimes performed. The most popular types are:

i.

Hyper poetry – It is a form of digital poetry that uses links through hypertext mark-up. It is very visual in form and is related to hypertext fiction and visual arts. The links mean that a hypertext poem has no set order, the poem moving or being generated in response to the links that the reader/user chooses. It can either involve set words, phrases, lines, etc. that are presented in variable order but sit on the page much as traditional poetry does, or it can contain parts of the poem that move and /or mutate. It is usually found online, though CD-ROM and diskette versions exist. The earliest examples date to no later than the mid-1980s.

ii.

Spoken word poetry – It can be described as poetry that is written to be performed. Spoken word utilizes concrete language, wordplay, and rhythm to tell stories. Through the use of vivid imagery, the listener can “feel” the words as they are being spoken. Many literary devices, like metaphor, can be used to help the audience visualize the story. And although the stories may be humorous, serious, sad, or painful, they remain true to the emotion of the speaker. Some pieces may lack a definite beginning, middle, or end, but it may be in that absence that the audience finds something to relate to. The beautiful thing about the spoken word is that a person is allowed to give his or her perspective on a certain topic without fear of debate. It is an open display of the soul. With this medium, an individual can express feelings of anger and grief about current events, and the audience is given a front-row seat to the inner workings of the artist's mind. Spoken word pieces can involve any life experience from losing the first tooth, to losing one's virginity, to losing one's child. The range is endless.

b. Drama- It is the genre of literature with stories composed of verse or prose which is meant to be dramatically or theatrically performed. Its emotions and conflicts are 7

expressed through dialogue and movements or action.

c. Blog - A weblog: a website containing short articles called posts that are changed regularly. Some blogs are written by one person containing their own opinions, interests, and experiences, while others are written by many different people.

d. Creative nonfiction – it is also known as literary nonfiction or narrative nonfiction. It is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. Creative nonfiction contrasts with other nonfiction, such as technical writing or journalism, which is also rooted in accurate fact but is not primarily written in service to its craft. As a genre, creative nonfiction is still relatively young and is only beginning to be scrutinized with the same critical analysis given to fiction and poetry.

e. Fiction- It is literature created from the imagination, not presented as fact, though it may be based on a true story or situation.

i.

Short story – It is a brief fictional prose narrative that is shorter than a novel and that usually deals with only a few characters. The short story is usually concerned with a single effect conveyed in only one or a few significant episodes or scenes. The form encourages economy of setting, concise narrative, and the omission of a complex plot; character is disclosed in action and dramatic encounter but is seldom fully developed. Despite its relatively limited scope, though, a short story is often judged by its ability to provide a “complete” or satisfying treatment of its characters and subject.

ii.

Chick-lit – It is a genre that addresses issues of modern womanhood, often humorously and light-heartedly. The genre became popular in the late 1990s, with chick-lit titles topping bestseller lists and the creation of imprints devoted entirely to chick-lit. Although it sometimes includes romantic elements, chick-lit is generally not considered a direct subcategory of the romance novel genre, because the heroine's relationship with her family or friends is often just as important as her romantic relationships.

iii.

Illustrated novel – It is a story through text and illustrated novels.

iv.

Digi-fiction – It is triple media literature. It combines three media: book, movie/video, and internet website.

v.

Graphic novels – These are narratives in comic book formats.

vi.

Manga – This is a Japanese word for comics Example: Naruto, Bleach, One Piece

vii.

Doodle Fiction – It is a literary presentation where the author incorporates doodle writing and drawings, and handwritten graphics in place of the traditional font. Example: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

viii.

Text-Talk Novels- These are stories that are told almost completely in dialogue 8

simulating social network exchanges.

ix.

Flash fiction – This is a style of fictional literature of extreme brevity.

x.

Six-word flash fiction – It is flash fiction done in six words only.

xi.

Speculative fiction – It is an umbrella term encompassing the more fantastical fiction genres, specifically science fiction, fantasy, horror, weird fiction, supernatural fiction, superhero fiction, utopian and dystopian fiction, apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction, and alternate history in literature as well as related static, motion, and virtual arts.

a.

Science fiction – It is a genre dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, a parallel universe, and extraterrestrial life. Ex. The Hunger Games

b.

Fantasy – It is a genre that concentrates on imaginary elements (the fantastic). This can mean magic, the supernatural, alternate worlds, superheroes, monsters, fairies, magical creatures, mythological heroes—essentially, anything that an author can imagine outside of reality.

f. Horror – It is a genre whose purpose is to create feelings of fear, dread, repulsion, and terror in the audience—in other words, it develops an atmosphere of horror.
