These works are often characterized as gender sensitive, technologically alluding, culturally pluralistic, operates on the extreme reality or extreme fiction, and questions conventions and supposedly absolute norms. 21st Century Literature With the vast advancement in technology, transmission and preservation of traditions, customs and beliefs have been made easier. This technological advancement gave birth to different emerging literary genres that we get to see today. Early Literary Genres As opposed to 21st century literature, early literary genres are characterized as oral tradition. Oral tradition is a form of human communication in which knowledge, art, ideas and cultural material is received, transmitted and preserved orally from one generation to another. Here are some of the different oral traditions: Pastime – riddles, puzzles Courting – serenade (harana) Chores – lullaby, hele, uyayi, harvest song Beliefs – superstitions, chants, hymns, rituals Stories of creation– legends (alamat), myths (mito), epic (epiko)  Observations and experiences/ in the surroundings – songs about nature/experience Physical exercise and memorization – songs that enumerate for children to memorize Stories that have morals (no definite author) – folklore (kwentong bayan), fable (pabula) Tanaga is an indigenous type of Filipino poem, that is used traditionally in the Tagalog language. The poetic art uses four lines, each line having seven syllables only. This type of poem exemplifies teachings, idioms, feelings, and ways of life. Tanaga has the following characteristics: stanzaic, written in any number of quatrains rhymed, originally aaaa bbbb cccc etc., modern 4 lines) Tanagas also use aabb ccdd etc or abba cddc etc or syllabic, 7-7-7- 7 syllables per line any combination rhyme can be used composed with the liberal use of metaphor may be titled or not POETRY IN THE 21ST CENTURY Frank Rivera He became known as “Makata sa cellphone”. He is a retired playwright, actor and production designer from Paete,Laguna. Because the word “ tanaga” sounds like a Japanese word, he replaced it with “Textula”. POETRY IN THE 21ST CENTURY Textula ❖ is a blend of the English word "text" and the Filipino word "tula” meaning text poem. ❖ Textula or mobile phone text tula is a poem written in the form of a text message. ❖ It usually consists of one or two stanzas and is sent as a direct communication to a person close to the sender. Through time, the patterns, rhymes and number of lines have evolved. There’s now more freedom in terms of poem’s length, rhymes and patterns. POETRY IN THE 21ST CENTURY POETRY IN THE 21ST CENTURY POETRY IN THE 21ST CENTURY Microliterature -is a body of short articles and publications, each containing only a little new information. Usually, it is shared and published using technology. -We can see examples of it on Twitter and Instagram. Since different social media sites have their unique features, it becomes an avenue to share a captured moment, and people can access it more efficiently. Poetry shared on twitter is called Instapoetry. Twitterature on the other hand is a literary use of the microblogging service of Twitter. It includes various genres, including aphorisms, poetry, and fiction (or some combination thereof) written by individuals or collaboratively. The 280- character maximum imposed by the medium, upgraded from 140 characters in late 2017, provides a creative challenge. And since poems are published in cyberspace, it appeals not only to the sense of sight but to other senses as well. Poems that are shared on cyberspace are called Hyperpoetry. It is basically a traditional poetry uploaded online. This kind of literature relies on the qualities unique to a digital environment or effects such as sound and movement. Creative nonfiction Also known as literary nonfiction or narrative nonfiction, is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. Creative nonfiction contrasts with other nonfiction, such as technical writing or journalism, which is also rooted in accurate fact, but is not primarily written in service to its craft. As a genre, creative nonfiction is still relatively young and is only beginning to be scrutinized with the same critical analysis given to fiction and poetry. It can be an essay, a journal article, a research paper, a memoir, or a poem; it can be personal or not, or it can be all of these. Chick literature Consists of heroine centered narratives that focus on the trials and tribulations of their individual protagonists. Chick lit often addresses issues of modern womanhood – from romantic relationships to female friendships to matters in the workplace – in humorous and lighthearted ways. Feminist literature Supports the feminist goals of defining, establishing and defending equal civil, political, economic and social rights for women. It often portrays men as bad. It is fiction, nonfiction, drama or poetry that often identifies women’s roles as unequal to those of men – particularly as regards status, privilege and power – and generally portrays the consequences to women, men, families, communities and societies as undesirable. Here are some of the popular chick literature in the Philippines: 1. Spotlight New Adult by Mina V. Esguerra 2. Tall Story by Candy Gourlay 3. All’s Fair in Blog and War by Chrissie Peria
