Die Literaturdidaktik versteht sich von Beginn an als handlungsleitende Wissenschaft. Dabei wurde lange Zeit vernachlassigt, gangige Methoden sowie unterrichtliche Praxis auch empirisch zu erforschen. So ist uber Literaturvermittlungsprozesse wenig bekannt. Der Band versammelt verschiedene Forschungsprojekte und Studien, die sich mit diesem Thema auseinandersetzen: Neben unterschiedlichen Forschungsansatzen und -methoden, die eroertert werden, nahern sich die Aufsatze sowohl der Erforschung der Unterrichtsprozesse als auch den zu Literaturvermittlungszwecken eingesetzten Medien und Hilfsmitteln aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven an.

Relied upon by educators, LIS instructors and students, and practitioners for its insight and thoroughness, his book: surveys the landscape of YA lit both past and present, sketching out its origins and showing how it has evolved to deal with subjects every bit as complex as its audience; closely examines teen demographics, literacy, audiobooks, the future of print, the role of literary criticism, and other key topics; provides updated coverage of perennially popular genre fiction, including horror, sci fi, and dystopian fiction; delves deeply into multicultural and LGBTQIA literature, substantially updated in this edition; features expansive interviews with best-selling authors like Eric Shanower, Jackie Woodson, and Bill Konigsberg as well as several publishers and leaders in the field; discusses the impact of the Printz Award, ALAN's Walden Award, the National Book Award, The Los Angeles Times Book Award, and other honors; and features abundant bibliographic material to aid in readers' advisory and collection development. In its newest edition, this "shrewd and thorough survey" (ARBA) is a must-have for everyone who wants to understand where YA lit has been and where it's heading.

Michael Stavaric, der oesterreichische Autor mit tschechischer Herkunft verdient es, nicht nur deutschlandweit mit seiner interkulturellen Literatur bekannt zu sein. Diese UEbersetzung soll dem italienischsprachigen Publikum - auch mittels einer multimedialen Edition - einen besseren Zugang zu seinem Kinderbuch Gaggalagu ermoeglichen. Interkulturalitat, Sprach- und Kulturtransfer im Kontext von Mehrsprachigkeit aus sprach-, bzw. literaturwissenschaftlicher und translatologischer Perspektive stehen im Fokus der Betrachtungen. Michael Stavaric, autore austriaco di origine ceca e la sua letteratura intercul-turale meritano di essere conosciuti anche oltre i confini dei paesi di lingua tedesca. Questa traduzione intende rendere piu accessibile a un pubblico di lingua italiana - anche grazie ad un'edizione multimediale - il suo libro per bambini Gaggalagu. Al centro delle considerazioni sono, da un punto di vista linguistico, letterario e traduttologico, l'interculturalita e il transfer linguistico e culturale in contesto multilingue.

As these eleven dark and wild stories demonstrate, fairy tales by Victorian women constitute a distinct literary tradition, one startlingly subversive of the society that fostered it. From Anne Thackeray Ritchie's adaptations of "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood" to Christina Rossetti's unsettling antifantasies in "Speaking Likenesses," these are breathtaking acts of imaginative freedom, by turns amusing, charming, and disturbing. Besides their social and historical implications, they are extraordinary stories, full of strange delights for readers of any age.
""Forbidden Journeys" is not only a darkly entertaining book to read for the fantasies and anti-fantasies told, but also is a significant contribution to nineteenth-century cultural history, and especially feminist studies."--"United Press International"
"A service to feminists, to Victorian Studies, to children's literature and to children."--Beverly Lyon Clark, "Women's Review of Books"
"These are stories to laugh over, cheer at, celebrate, and wince at. . . . "Forbidden Journeys" is a welcome reminder that rebellion was still possible, and the editors' intelligent and fascinating commentary reveals ways in which these stories defied the Victorian patriarchy."--Allyson F. McGill, "Belles Lettres

Parallel zu der oeffentlichen Diskussion um die sozialen und bildungspolitischen Implikationen der Inklusion zeichnet sich auch in den Kinder- und Jugendmedien ein Trend ab, der mit dem Thema mehr oder weniger explizit korrespondiert. Fragen, die aus literaturwissenschaftlicher Perspektive besonders interessieren, sind die nach ex/inklusiven asthetischen, thematischen und figuralen Konstellationen in historischer sowie synchroner Perspektive. Dementsprechend fokussieren die Beitrage dieses Bandes aus theoretischer, analytischer und didaktischer Perspektive die Relation von Kinder- und Jugendmedien und Inklusion.

This anthology explores the multitude of evidence for recognisable fairy tales drawn from sources in the much older cultures of the ancient world, appearing much earlier than the 17th century where awareness of most fairy tales tends to begin. It presents versions of Cinderella, The Emperor's New Clothes, Snow White, The Frog Prince and a host of others where the similarities to familiar 'modern' versions far outweigh the differences. Here we find Cinderella as a courtesan, Snow White coming to a tragic end or an innocent heroine murdering her sisters. We find an emperor's new clothes where the flatterers compare him to Alexander the Great, or a pair of adulterers caught in a magic trap. Tantalising fragments suggest that there is more to be discovered: we can point to a Sleeping Beauty where the girl takes on the green colouring of the surrounding wood, or we encounter a Rumpelstiltskin connected to a mystery cult. The overall picture suggests a much richer texture of popular tale as a fascinating new legacy of antiquity. This volume breaks down the traditional barriers between Classical Mythology and the fairy tale, and will be an invaluable resource for anyone working on the history of fairy tales and folklore.

Thema dieses Buches ist die Vermittlung von Fachwissen in fiktionalen Texten fur Kinder und Jugendliche. Die interdisziplinare Vorgehensweise verknupft dabei die Themen 'Wissen und Sprache' sowie 'Wissen und Literatur'. Die Autorin analysiert ein Korpus fiktionaler Kinder- und Jugendbucher hinsichtlich der fachlichen Wissensvermittlung, der Experten-Laien-Kommunikation und des Fachsprachengebrauchs. Am Beispiel des Fachs Pferd/Reiten zeigt sie, wie das fachliche Wissen altersangemessen reprasentiert wird. Ein abschliessendes Modell verdeutlicht das fur die Fachwissensvermittlung notwendige Zusammenspiel von sprachlichen und literarischen Gestaltungsmitteln. Daruber hinaus bietet die Studie methodische Anregungen fur weitere Forschungen zum Wissenstransfer mithilfe fiktionaler Textsorten.

Ce volume explore la double question des pouvoirs de la litterature de jeunesse et de ses modalites formelles. Pourquoi parler ici de pouvoirs au pluriel de cette litterature? Car l'on a tres souvent tendance a la reduire a sa vocation pedagogique en vertu de laquelle elle continue de faire l'objet de diverses manipulations. Certes, toute litterature, qu'elle soit adressee aux adultes ou au jeune public, remplit la fonction de plaire et d'instruire. Toutefois, en ce qui concerne la litterature de jeunesse, l'aspect didactique est mal compris, ce qui donne lieu a une vision excessivement simplificatrice de cette production. Cet ouvrage s'attache a montrer que la fonction instructive de l'oeuvre pour la jeunesse, a l'instar de la litterature generale, se manifeste sous des formes complexes et variees: meditations sur l'existence humaine, engagement, projet axiologique, constructions memorielles, ambition therapeutique, renouvellement des procedes esthetiques.

Der Afrika-Literatur fur Kinder und Jugendliche wird meistens vorgeworfen, Afrika und AfrikanerInnen zu stereotypisieren. In neuerer Zeit ist das Konzept der Interkulturalitat entstanden, das die Begegnung zwischen verschiedenen "Kulturen" "positiv" setzt und damit die entgegengesetzte Interpretation zur Stereotypisierung darstellt. Die "afrikanische" Literatur wird als Loesung des teilweise problematischen Schreibens uber Afrika vorgeschlagen, als wurde man dadurch zweifelsohne klischeefreie Afrikabilder bekommen. Das vorliegende Buch hinterfragt sowohl der interkulturelle als auch der auf dem Stereotyp-Begriff beruhende Ansatz und postuliert, dass das Schreiben uber Afrika eine "diskursive Praxis" ist. Die Analysen beziehen die Bucher von deutsch-afrikanischen AutorInnen ein und stellen die Afrika-Literatur als Vermittler vielfaltiger, unterschiedlicher und gegeneinander kampfender Diskurspositionen. Sie zeigen somit, inwiefern die Kinder- und Jugendliteratur als Gegendiskurs betrachtet werden kann.

Featuring a timely and diverse cross-section of frequently targeted titles, complete with many quotes and comments from authors whose works have been challenged, this book will be an important tool for library managers, children's and YA librarians, and teachers. In our polarized environment, the censorship and outright banning of children's books which some deem to be controversial or objectionable remains a major concern for libraries. Intellectual freedom champion Scales returns to the fray with a new edition of her matchless guide, updating the focus to titles published since 2015 which have been the target of challenges. School and public librarians, LIS students, and classroom educators will find the assistance and support they need to defend these challenged books with an informed response while ensuring access to young book lovers. For each of the dozens of titles covered, readers will find a book summary; a report of the specific challenges; quotes from reviews, plus a list of awards and accolades; talking points for discussing the book's issues and themes; links to the book's website, additional resources about the book, and suggested further reading; and read-alikes that have been challenged for similar reasons.

Unter dem Rahmenthema "Emotionen" fand am 15./16. April 2016 auf dem Campus Gotland der Universitat Uppsala die 12. Arbeitstagung schwedischer Germanistinnen und Germanisten "Text im Kontext" statt. Der vorliegende Band versammelt ausgewahlte Beitrage, die in ihrer Vielfalt ein aktuelles Bild der Forschungsansatze und -projekte der Germanistik in Schweden vermitteln. Das Spektrum der Beitrage reicht von der Digitalisierung von Stammbuchern aus funf Jahrhunderten bis zur Analyse von Metonymien in den Medien, von Fragen des transkulturellen Erzahlens bis zu neuen Formen der Literatur im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung. Eine Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs von metasprachlichem Wissen und Grammatikkenntnissen bei schwedischen Deutschschulern rundet den Band ab. Der Band belegt, dass der Begriff der "Emotionen" sich als geeigneter Ausgangspunkt fur den Dialog von Literaturwissenschaft und Sprachwissenschaft erweist; als verbindende Elemente fungieren vor allem kulturwissenschaftliche Ansatze.

** Guardian Summer Reading selection: the 50 hottest new books everyone should read ** ** The Times: 100 best books to read for summer 2021 ** Back in the 1960s a little girl of nine who was deeply in love with Narnia wrote a book of short stories. Written in spiky blue ink with various crossings-out and spelling mistakes, Katherine Langrish's Tales of Narnia filled an old hard-cover notebook from front to back. Some of the stories were illustrated with dramatic, poster-painted scenes, and Katherine drew a map of Narnia on the inside back cover. Now a celebrated adult writer of children's and young adult's literature, Langrish has revisited C. S. Lewis's Seven Chronicles of Narnia to explore what they mean to her today. In From Spare Oom to War Drobe she analyses what once enchanted her and asks whether it still has the power to do so. Hand in hand with her nine year-old self, she traces many paths through Lewis's thick forest of allusions not only to Christianity, but to Plato, fairy tales, myths, legends, medieval romances, renaissance poetry and indeed to other children's books. Here are two very different ways of reading the Narnia stories: the adult, informed, rational way and the passionate childish way. For whenever children fall in love with a book they love it fiercely, loyally, completely; and as anyone it's ever happened to will know, it can be a transformative experience. The Foreword has been written by award-winning writer and broadcaster Brian Sibley, who dramatised the BBC radio adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia, and wrote Shadowlands, a biography of C. S. Lewis.

This study invites Deleuze into the genre of children's literature and explores how Deleuzian concepts can enhance our readings of this literature whose implied readership masks much paradox. In Deleuze in Children's Literature, Jane Newland focuses on the children's texts written by some of the authors who fascinate Deleuze, including Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, Andre Dhotel, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio and Michel Tournier: authors who recur across Deleuze's work and shape his literary writings. With chapters on pure repetition, becoming, cartographies, stuttering and nonsense, Newland demonstrates how these concepts, central to Deleuzian philosophy, can invigorate readings of children's literature. Deleuze in Children's Literature brings together Deleuzian thought and contemporary scholarship in children's literature to provide a novel and timely insight into readings of children's literature in the twenty-first century.
