Abstract

The Research Coordination of the Western Headquarters and the Postgraduate Program in the Teaching of Spanish and Literature have published "New Horizons of Research", a volume that fuses historiography, criticism and literary teaching. The eleven articles explore historiographic categories and historical-literary models, analyzing their impact on educational programming and literary criticism. Topics such as literary generation, canon, LGBTQ and children's and adolescent literature stand out. The book reflects various theoretical-methodological perspectives, offering a critical and updated vision of the categories in literary teaching of the 21st century. It is part of a larger project of the Master's Degree in Teaching Spanish and Literature, stimulating reflection on the relationships between academic knowledge and critical-didactic models in the teaching of literature.
