00:19What is literary theory?
00:30With many certainties, but the truth is that it's not true. We will emerge as better readers, able to use the theoretical tools to...
00:40We can offer better readings and understandings of the texts, but we don't have absolute certainty, because we will...
00:47to understand that literature is a dynamic process between the author, the text, and the reader.
00:55You'll see that some readings are already available on AVA. On the 7th, this Saturday, we'll have...
01:03There's a synchronous online class at 1 PM, and I need you all to take a look at the first forum.
01:10The first forum is very interesting and the reading is already recommended. You will read Terry Eagleton's introduction,
01:18Literary Theory is an Introduction.
01:21It's a very interesting text, and I hope you bring many questions and doubts to our readings.
01:28This semester, in terms of assessment, it will function very similarly to last semester.
01:32So, we have an AB1 worth 9 points and an in-person AB2 worth 11 points.
01:38AB1 will be a sum of the activities that are in the AVA (Virtual Learning Environment).
01:43The forums, they'll be worth half a point, you can take a look over there.
01:47And the critical comprehension and literary analysis activities will be worth one point each.
01:56It's important that you do these activities, of course, so that we can properly reinforce the content and so that...
02:01people are able to perform competent readings.
02:07And don't forget that you're going to be teachers, you're training to be teachers.
02:11So, ideally, you and yourselves should be able to show the students how literature is structured,
02:20Like literature, it constructs its own meanings.
02:24Chat and GPT.
02:25Last semester, I noticed that, well, I can't say for sure, can I?
02:30But you can tell, right?
02:32Some texts had a characteristic, they had a kind of retro-boss effect, like artificial intelligence.
02:37Our university does not have any approved regulations regarding consumption, either approving or completely rejecting the use of AI.
02:47But they were meant to stay.
02:49So use them, but wisely.
02:52Make sure the texts are your own work.
02:55Use artificial intelligence for grammar checking, spell checking, but never to create a reading thesis, for example.
03:02A reading suggestion for a poem, or for an excerpt from a short story or novel.
03:08Make sure you can support the points that appear in the text.
03:12Because that, indeed, is the guarantee that you were the author of the text.
03:15It's OK?
03:17And that.
03:18So, on Saturday, I'll meet you at 1 PM.
03:21So, today's message is just to help us understand how the evaluation will work.
03:25And suggesting that you begin reading.
03:29See you then!
03:30Goodbye!
03:30Goodbye!
03:30Goodbye!
03:30Goodbye!
03:30Goodbye!
03:31Goodbye!
03:31Goodbye!
