In this article we intend to explore the history of motivation whithin the field of second foreign language learning. To this end, we will analyse in detail the three most important models: the Socio-educational Model, the Theory of Self-Determination and the L2 Motivational Self System. We will also analyse the relationship between motivation and CLIL, concluding that this approach is very motivating for such students, since they are more motivated than their counterparts who study English in a more traditional way (Doiz, Lasagabaster & Sierra, 2014, Seikkula-Leino, 2007).

This essay focuses on the explanation of some of the aspects of plot and characterisation in J.G. Ballard’s novel Crash (1973) by drawing analogies with its postmodern cultural background. The fundamental idea is the characters’ wish to transcend both the reductive nihilism of a society whose value system is dominated by performativity, and the limitations of the human condition, starting with the self and the body. Their journey will be fraught with the danger of complete nihilism as it implies giving in to the death drive. In the end, this submission will strand them in abjection and abhumanity.

The Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach has experienced a considerable growth and it is being progressively integrated into curricula all across Europe. It is a dual educational approach in which content and language must be combined. This approach introduces a new cognitive dimension which is missing in other language learning approaches by the addition of a new competence: using the language to learn. This study intends to analyze a lesson planning process of a CLIL Primary School Science lesson at a Spanish state school focusing on the cognitive dimension of the learning process of both Science content and foreign language skills.

“Literary games” are strategies employed by writers to draw attention to, to disrupt, and even to subvert the conventions of literary production and reading. In his oddest novel, Ratner´s Star, Don DeLillo employs many such strategies; strategies which not only provide the reader with much playful diversion, but which also have the practical consequence of guiding readers to alternative (and challenging) ways of engaging with literary texts. This paper explores the literary games played by DeLillo in his novel, Ratner´s Star and suggests some of the practical implications these games have for our conception of what it means, in the aftermath of fundamental revolutions in linguistic and philosophical theory, to be a reader.

The Autobiography of My Mother (Kincaid 1996) is Xuela’s story. Xuela as the narrator and protagonist of the novel ‘moves between the imaginary world of the text and the real world of Kincaid’s life’ (Edwards 116-17). The Palimpsest metaphor shows to be useful to represent the ‘palimpsesting of her identity’ that Xuela does in her autobiography because the final perception of Xuela’s identity implies a selection of experiences in which the visible surface makes it possible to perceive not only the young Xuela but that who never was and the life she did not allow herself to live.

The British writer Bruce Chatwin (1940-1989) built his literary work taking as a starting point the philosophical inquiry summarized in the question: why do men travel instead of staying at home? Neither his life neither his literary career can be understood without taking into consideration this interrogation that characterized him and that questioned the classification of his books. This article intends to place Chatwin’s work in the genre of travel literature and explain the roots of his literary yearning throughout his motives and the evolution of travel literature throughout the 20th century.

White Noise and The Crying of Lot 49 are considered Image Fiction novels, works that try to make visible the influence that mass media had on modern era. This is exemplified in both novels, as media deeply affect their plot’s development as well as the characters’ evolution and ways of communicating. This essay focuses on this from three main points of view: the extent to which the audience engages with the media in both works, the extent to which media become the only source of information and the consequences this may have, and the importance of concepts such as “noise,” language or drugs in both novels.

The present paper aims to analyse Chuck Palahniuk’s first novel Fight Club (1996) from a different viewpoint, i.e., the communitarian theories perspective. In order to enrich this study, this field will be interconnected with gender studies, specifically on men’s studies and the field of masculinities. The novel describes the formation of the symbolically saturated community of “fight club” whose members are obsessed with an absent paternal figure, including the protagonist. However, his existential crisis will be solved thanks to his encounter with Marla Singer. In that encounter Tyler Durden will have a fundamental role to play: he will act as a catalyst figure, filtering all the saturated symbolisms that limit the main character’s essentialist masculine identity. As a result, the protagonist will be able to meet the main female protagonist, Marla Singer, in an inorganic encounter, where they will be able to expose each other’s individualities in a meaningful way.
