El slam en Quebec: de práctica social a objeto de enseñanza

Abstract

Slam has democratized poetry, allowing all interested individuals to express themselves as well as see, listen, and evaluate other slammers on stage. Given slam as a genre is also contributing to the development of literacy skills in extra-scholarly and scholarly contexts, it is important for us to understand its characteristics. We, therefore, conducted a study on the social and scholarly practices of slam in Quebec. In this article, we will present the results of an exploratory research, which was aimed to analyze the discourse, the signs, and codes of slam as a social practice as well as to understand how this practice evolves into a teaching object (objet enseigné).
