A recorded lecture in the course Literature and Identity in the Middle East.
© Dr. Ronit Nikolsky
In this lecture, we learn about participating in a discourse world, as described in the book Text World Theory - an Introduction by Joanna Gavins.
This is a discourse analysis from a cognitive approach, which studies how a teller in a narrative is perceived as reliable.
This lecture is part of the undergraduate course Literature and Identity in the Middle East. It uses Text World Theory to analyse identity issues in Palestinian literature.

Text World Theory, some history, and summary of chapters 1 and 2, of Joanna Gavins' book: Text World Theory: An Introduction (Edinburgh University Press, 2007).
