Question 1
1.1 Briefly define the term ‘literature’ in your own words. In your answer, you should explain the
difference between the words ‘literature’ (singular) and ‘literatures’ (plural) and tell us why it
is important to use the plural ‘literatures’ in a multi-cultural classroom.
literature, a body of written works. The name has traditionally been applied to those imaginative
works of poetry and prose distinguished by the intentions of their authors and the perceived
aesthetic excellence of their execution. Imaginative or creative writing, especially of recognized
artistic value: "Literature must be an analysis of experience and a synthesis of the findings into a
unity" (Rebecca West). The art or occupation of a literary writer. A literary trend known as
postmodernism favours play, fragmentation, metafiction, and intertextuality over definitive
meaning. It is a genre of literature that frequently explores both historical and political topics and is
distinguished by metafiction, implausible narration, self-reflexivity, and intertextuality. Literature is
any collection of written work, but it is also used more narrowly for writings specifically considered
to be an art form, especially prose fiction, drama, and poetry. In recent centuries, the definition has
expanded to include oral literature, much of which has been transcribed. Literature is a method of
recording, preserving, and transmitting knowledge and entertainment, and can also have a social,
psychological, spiritual, or political role. Literature, as an art form, can also include works in various
non-fiction genres, such as biography, diaries, memoir, letters, and the essay. Within its broad
definition, literature includes non-fictional books, articles or other printed information on a
particular subject

example of each genre, i.e., the title of a specific text and the author’s name per genre.

1. Prose,

• Prose uses chapters to divide sections of the text. Prose consists of fiction and non-fiction
and its language sounds like everyday speech. Novels and short stories are common
examples.(Tutorial letter 501: 10)
• Poetry uses stanzas to divide sections of the text. Poetry, or verse, is written in lines of
different lengths. These lines are carefully arranged with patterns of sound and
rhythm.(Tutorial letter 501: 10)
• Drama uses Acts for different sections. Acts can be divided into Scenes for a change of
situation or place. Drama lines can be either prose or poetry.(Tutorial letter 501: 10)
