Q1W1 Introduction to Phil Lit and Poetry.pptx

Philippine Literature is a diverse and rich
group of works that has evolved side-by-side
with the country’s history. Literature had started
with fables and legends made by the ancient
Filipinos long before the arrival of Spanish
influence. The main themes of Philippine
literature focus on the country’s pre-colonial
cultural traditions and the socio-political
histories of its colonial and contemporary
traditions.
• It is not a secret that many Filipinos are unfamiliar with much of the country's
literary heritage, especially those that were written long before the Spaniards arrived in
our country. This is due to the fact that the stories of ancient time were not written, but
rather passed on from generation to generation through word of mouth. Only during
1521 did the early Filipinos became acquainted with literature due to the influence of the
Spaniards on us. But the literature that the Filipinos became acquainted with are not
Philippine-made, rather, they were works of Spanish authors.So successful were the efforts of colonists to blot out the memory of the country's
largely oral past that present-day Filipino writers, artists and journalists are trying to
correct this inequity by recognizing the country's wealth of ethnic traditions and
disseminating them in schools through mass media.
• The rise of nationalistic pride in the 1960s and 1970s also helped bring about this
change of attitude among a new breed of Filipinos concerned about the "Filipino
identity."
• Philippine literature is written in Spanish, English, Tagalog, and/or other
native Philippine Languages.Whatever nationality you are it is always very important to study the literature of
your country. In doing so you are not only learning about the historical aspects of your
land, but you are also keeping alive the thoughts, beliefs and cultural variations of your
ancestors that differentiate your country from the rest of the world.
• A country's literature also tells us about its civilization in a form other than straight
fact. Literature is usually one person's description of a situation told through their own
personal feelings; eyewitness testimony to historical events that we were
not present at. Writers have a talent for bringing the past back to life with emotive
language and metaphor, helping us to imagine scenarios that may have happened
decades, or even centuries, ago.A new set of colonizers brought about new changes in Philippine literature.
American influence was deeply entrenched with the firm establishment of English as the
medium of instruction in all schools and with literary modernism that highlighted the
writer's individuality and cultivated consciousness of craft, sometimes at the expense of
social consciousness. New literary forms were introduced, chiefly, free verse, the
modern short story, and the critical essay. On the university level, young writers were
exposed to literary modernisation. Genres of literature are important to learn about. The two main category.
