Abstract

A recent study from Universitat Bielefeld explores the integration of J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" with the narrative adventure game "Life is Strange" to facilitate discussions on sensitive topics like mental health, bullying, and gender identity. The research suggests that combining these two works in the classroom can help students engage with authentic literature, build empathy, and reflect on social changes over time. The study highlights the potential of this approach for learners to deconstruct canonical literature and explore different perspectives in the evolving world of digital and traditional media.
