Here we explore the power of words; how they have been, and continue to be, such an important tool for human development down through the ages. Only in recent decades have we as a Society begun to fully realise that stories, myths, literature etc have effectively acted as the technology of learning.

AlternativeLiterature

​

Literature can mean many things to a lot of people -  entertainment, playing with language, a comfort, sharing/communicating - and have many different forms - prose, poetry, plays, lyrics etc. 

​But there is also another point of view, one that we subscribe to, that isn't necessarily clear to a lot of Literature lovers - Literature as a science, a source of truth, a repository of universal knowledge, a way of discovering what it means to be alive, to be human.

​

In the same vein as our other alternative approaches, we take an established body of work and seek to appreciate it better through analysis, testing, and understanding. From that comes a new collection of written pieces, more relevant to our time and stage of development, whilst staying true to the impulse of the original piece of Literature.

​​

We have 3 areas of focus - written, aural, and visual – and in common with our other workstreams, we have applied our alternative approach. This is our most recent area of work, and the early indications are there is plenty of useful research work and understanding yet to be undertaken.
