Robinson Crusoe has captured the imagination of young readers and has been used as a tool for didactic purposes over the centuries. Throughout this article, it will be argued that there is a need to promote literary education and reading habits within the English as a Second Language area in secondary education using classics such as this novel and an innovation educational project is proposed. Moreover, to connect with the students interests and ways of expression and the current and future social demands, the themes and topics of the novel will be introduced through selected extracts from the original text to also promote media literacy in higher secondary education, in an inter-disciplinary approach. If Crusoe’s story were to happen today, the internet would offer practical applications to adapt to the situation, or to solve it, which is why this is a learning situation that explores some of these possibilities in a task-based, fun, and creative way. The ultimate goal is to inspire teachers to use or adapt this proposal to a variety of educational contexts since it pursues to promote genuine communication in English and introduce students to a literary masterpiece, endorsing the responsible and adequate use of creative technological tools.

Henry James’s critics suggest numerous form-conscious reasons for his serpentine meaning-making aesthetics. Seeing the undecidability of James’s proto-modernist narrative on a par with that of the baroque aesthetics, this paper cites the inscribable essence of the female body in James’s materialism as one undiscussed reason. In the theories of écriture feminine or feminine writing, the female writer’s integrity with her body serves as the source of logic for the writing practice that revolts against phallogocentric conventions. In search of a concrete example for this assertion, I celebrate the content-conscious contemporaneity between James’s What Maisie Knew and New Woman writing in light of four common motifs: the psycho-ethical analysis of (1) the protagonist’s melancholic mother-daughter relationship and (2) her quest for truth paves the way for the essentialist insight into (3) the privilege of feminine aesthetics and (4) the emancipated motion of the New Woman’s body. The secondary objective of this paper is to celebrate the ideological return of the baroque in James’s proto-modernism through such topoi as imperfect beauty, motion, and madness so as to introduce the meaning-making role of the body in his impressionistic integrity of subject and object.

Reading through one another insights raised by feminist thinkers Gloria Anzaldúa, Chela Sandoval, Rosi Braidotti and Karen Barad, this work analyses the 1994 autofictional film Brincando el charco. Portrait of a Puerto Rican by New York-based filmmaker and scholar Frances Negrón-Muntaner. This film is approached as a prime example of ways in which feminist autofictional practices in cinema have the potential to reframe the notions of identity and home, beyond dominant—sexist, racist, and homophobic— narratives. Barad’s diffractive methodology allows for bringing together Anzaldúa’s mestiza consciousness, Sandoval’s differential consciousness and Braidotti’s nomadic consciousness, as a conceptual apparatus to unpack how Negrón-Muntaner combines fiction, autobiography and documentary footage in order to problematise androcentric narratives, come to terms with her multi-layered identity as a queer member of the Puerto Rican diaspora, and ultimately manage to build an alternative, always-in-the-making, home for herself.
通过阅读女权主义思想家Gloria Anzaldúa、Chela Sandoval、Rosi Braidotti和Karen Barad提出的见解，本作品分析了1994年的自虚构电影《Brincando el charco》。一个波多黎各人的肖像由纽约电影制作人和学者弗朗西斯Negrón-Muntaner。这部电影被认为是女性主义电影中自我虚构的实践有可能重塑身份和家庭概念的一个主要例子，超越了主流的性别歧视、种族主义和同性恋恐惧症的叙述。Barad的发散方法将Anzaldúa的混血儿意识，Sandoval的差异意识和Braidotti的游牧意识结合在一起，作为一个概念性的工具，来揭示Negrón-Muntaner是如何结合小说，自传和纪录片来解决男性中心主义叙事的问题，来接受她作为波多黎各侨民的酷儿成员的多层次身份，并最终设法建立一个替代方案，总是在制作中，她自己的家。
