Analysis of short non-literary texts: Elements for a conceptual approach to the mini-text

Abstract

A theoretical and didactic approach to the mini-text is proposed: a conceptual category for analysis and pedagogic treatment of non-literary-short-texts. The proposal is based on four theoretical paradigms: one related to the bakhtinian approach of enunciation and discourse genres; other circumscribed by text linguistics and discourse studies; a third approach related to flash fiction theory and criticism; and a fourth paradigm that suggests taking advantage of immersion and entertainment features that underlay videogames as mechanisms to promote meaningful learnings.
