Notes

  1. "Reconfiguration" means to transform by the language a text, an experience, a natural object in a new text written from a new point of view.

  2. The term “secondarization” is drawn from M.M. Bakhtin’s distinction between primary and secondary genres, primary genres as immediately experienced and secondary genres as distanced from their point of initial production.

  3. The PISA exam identifies five reading competencies: retrieving information (from a text), forming a broad general understanding, developing an interpretation, reflecting on and evaluating the content of a text, and reflecting on and evaluating the form of a text (see http://www.pisa.oecd.org/dataoecd/38/52/33707212.pdf, p. 112).
