Intertextuality and multimodality in transmedia constellations: An interdisciplinary proposal in teacher training

Abstract

The following research proposes an evolution of the practice of literary constellations through the concepts of multimodality and transmedia narratives. A quantitative analysis of two specific experiences carried out during the academic year 2019-2020 at the University of Alicante is carried out, which confirm the possibilities of this practice in teacher training, with the main objective of developing the concept of intertextuality among our students. The constellations are worked on from an interdisciplinary perspective, where the use of technology is unavoidable, for the open publication of activities through videos, presentations and blogs. Various mixed questionnaires have been developed, with adequate reliability, to verify the learning of the proposal, with excellent results. The theme of the constellations has varied between the two experiences, from the deadly sins to traditional children's characters, showing that the constellations can be applied for varied themes and different educational purposes. The transmedia expansion of the practice has also made it possible to adapt the constellations to the new times of hybrid or online teaching.
