This volume explores the relationship between representation,
affect, and emotion in texts for children and young adults. It
demonstrates how texts for young people function as tools for
emotional socialisation, enculturation, and political persuasion.
The collection provides an introduction to this emerging field and
engages with the representation of emotions, ranging from shame,
grief, and anguish to compassion and happiness, as psychological
and embodied states and cultural constructs with ideological
significance. It also explores the role of narrative empathy in
relation to emotional socialisation and to the ethics of
representation in relation to politics, social justice, and
identity categories including gender, ethnicity, disability, and
sexuality. Addressing a range of genres, including advice
literature, novels, picture books, and film, this collection
examines contemporary, historical, and canonical children's and
young adult literature to highlight the variety of approaches to
emotion and affect in these texts and to consider the ways in which
these approaches offer new perspectives on these texts. The
individual chapters apply a variety of theoretical approaches and
perspectives, including cognitive poetics, narratology, and
poststructuralism, to the analysis of affect and emotion in
children's and young adult literature.
This highly original book provides an engaging and critical
introduction to the knowledge economy. The knowledge economy is a
potent force pervading global and national policy circles. Yet few
people outside the field of economics understand its central ideas
and practices. This book makes these accessible. But it does much
more. It provokes 'conversations' between the knowledge economy and
those marginalized economies that haunt it: the risk, gift,
libidinal and survival economies. These illuminate the knowledge
economy's shortcomings and point to alternative possible systems of
exchange and sets of values. This multi-disciplinary study takes
the knowledge economy out of the hands of the economists and brings
it into creative tension with the ideas of key thinkers from
sociology, anthropology, philosophy and ecology. Illustrating the
benefits of conversing with the ghosts of alternative economies,
this provocative book will unsettle the way in which the knowledge
economy is understood. Groundbreaking and globally applicable, it
has been authored by internationally respected authors and its
conceptual breadth pertains to a range of disciplines and gives it
its wide appeal.
