تدريس الأدب ودراسة الأدب بين طرق التدريس والنظرية الأدبية

الملخص EN

Literary studies, in its two sides: teaching literature and studying literature, have suffered from a split in the profession between literary pedagogy and literary theories.

A survey of the experience of some famous scholars, who have tackled, this issue in their writings, is conducted to pinpoint the neglect in the part of people specialized in literary studies of the practical side of their work.

Two points of convergence between literary pedagogy and literary theory are discussed.

Thus, the first one presented two cases in which literary pedagogy was highly influenced by the ideas of two major shifts in critical theory: the formalist tendency of New Criticism and the reader-oriented tendency of the reader response approach.

The second one discussed the efforts of the American educationalist and theorist Louise Rosenblatt in providing a theory of reading literary works in the light of what takes place in literature classrooms.

The conclusions derived from this discussion lead to recommendations concerning the importance of making teaching of literature one of the academic interests and student preparation in departments of literature.
