Perspettivi Oħra tal-Letteratura Maltija', organizzat mid-Dipartiment tal-Malti tal-Kulleġġ Ġan Franġisk Abela ta' l-Università ta' Malta' fit-Teatru taċ-Ċentru għall-Kreattività tal-Kavallier ta' San Ġakbu, il-Belt Valletta, nhar is-Sibt, 29 ta' Novembru, 2003. L-għan ewlieni tas-seminar kien li permezz ta' taħditiet minn studjużi differenti u permezz tad-diskussjonijiet ma' l-udjenza preżenti wara kull intervent nistħarrġu testi magħrufin tal-letteratura Maltija f'dawl ġdid. Il-format tas-seminar kien jirrifletti l-fehma magħrufa fid-dinja akkademika internazzjonali li l-letteratura tinkiteb ukoll minn min jaqraha, li t-test isir letteratura meta u skond kif jinqara. 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/106856 Title: Why teach literature? Authors: Morrissey, Sinéad Abstract: The most obvious counter to the question "Why teach literature?" is, of course, "Why not?" But before going on to think about why not, I'd like to address the question more directly. Somehow the question feels hopeless, like a shrug, and seems to presume that we've come to the end of the line as regards the teaching of literature as a valid university option for the early twenty-first century. In order to examine the future of something, it may be helpful to re-examine its past. The teaching of literature in Britain began in the late-nineteenth and _ early twentieth centuries, and, according to writers such as Terry Eagleton, was entirely ideologically motivated. English literature became part of the academy just as religion was losing its grip. George Gordon, one of the earliest professors of English literature at Oxford University, wrote: "England is sick... English literature must save it."

As a child I lived what was a very narrow and circumscribed life in the middle of middle-class Sliema. My opportunities to meet different people were limited, though thankfully my father worked at the government farm in għammieri and that gave me the opportunity to be enchanted by the difference around me. This fascination with others and the desire to escape the narrow world I lived in led me to books, which despite the rather anti-intellectual culture of my immediate family, I was fortunate enough to have found. My favourite read every time I was ill, and this even in adulthood, remains Little Women by Louisa M. Alcott. In it I could find not simply what I desired or wished to be (the character Jo), but new knowledge, ideas and feelings. [Excerpt] 2005-01-01T00:00:00Z
