    Development
    Context of Text Development

    “Being a critical reader involves understanding


    that texts are always developed with a certain
    context” .
    Tiongson & Rodriguez, 2016
    historical
    Social

    CONTEXT
    Context
     Is defined as the social, cultural, political, historical, and
    other related circumstances that surround the text and
     Form that terms from which it can be better understood and
    evaluated
     Knowledge of the text’s context helps in appreciating the
    text’s message more deeply.
    Questions you may ask to discover the reading context:
     When was the work written?
     What were the circumstances that produced it?
     What issues does it deal with?
    Techniques in analyzing the context
    Intertextuality (intertext)
    Example
    JK Rowling’s "Harry Potter Series" and
    JRR Tolkien’s "Lord of the Rings Trilogy."
     Both texts use wise wizards as the
    protagonist’s mentor (Gandalf in LOTR
    and Dumbledore in Harry Potter), this
    is an example of intertextuality.
    Intertextuality (intertext)

     Is a connections between language, image, characters, themes, or


    subjects depending on their similarities
     Is borrowing and transforming a prior text, or when you read one text
    and you reference another
     Is influenced by previous texts and in turn anticipates future texts.
     Contains many layers of cultural, historical, and social knowledge
     Dialogue among different texts and interpretations of the writer,
    audience and the current and earlier cultural contexts.
    Hypertext (Hypertextuality)
    Reading as linear and non linear
    Hypertext
     Is a new way of reading a text online
     Connects topics on a screen to related information,
    graphics, videos, and music– information is not simply
    related to text
     Appears as links and usually accessed by clicking
     Gateway to a wider horizon of information
    Example
    How to read?
     Skim/scan through sections of a text
     Freely jumping from one parts to another depending on what aspect
    of text interests him/her
     Select the order in which you read the text and focus on information
    that is relevant to your background and interest
     Create your own meaning
    CAUTION: Avoid disorientation
