2010

Este trabajo pretende estudiar la narrativa breve de Eduardo Holmberg, la manera cómo el escritor argentino traza, mediante acotaciones metaliterarias sobre los procesos constructivos del relato, fantasías científi cas y juguetes policiales desde una conciencia fi ccional que asume el estatuto literario como artifi cio y simulación.

A Pedagogical Approach to Detective Fiction

One of the main concerns when teaching a foreign language is how to encourage students to read and become interested in its literature. This article presents detective fiction as a pedagogical tool that provides the key elements to make it appealing for young readers.

The aim of my work is to present a series of activities related with the detective fiction of international writers such as Sir Ar…
