The volume gathers texts from consolidated figures within the field of research in Children’s Literature, as well as contributions from junior researchers, creating bridges and dialogue between both generations and critical and theoretical approaches. It in...

Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung 2009/2010
Die sechzehnte Folge des Jahrbuchs wird eingeleitet mit einem Berichtsteil, der neben Informationen über Ausstellungsaktivitäten im Bereich der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur die Eröffnungsansprachen von Claire Bradford und Klaus Doderer zum 19. Kongress der International Research Society for Children's Literature (IRSCL) 2009 in Frankfurt am Main mit dem Thema «Children's Literature and Cultural Diversity in the Past and the Present» bietet. Die drei letzten Studien des Beitragsteils bilden einen thematischen Schwerpunkt zur Fantasy-Literatur - ein weiterer Beleg für die fortdauernde Beschäftigung mit diesem Genre, das sich im letzten Jahrzehnt zur Leitgattung der erzählenden Kinder- und Jugendliteratur entwickelt hat. Die internationale Orientierung des Jahrbuchs wird in dieser Folge mit Beiträgen eines indischen und eines ägyptischen Literaturwissenschaftlers fortgeführt.

Jahrhunderts. Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer untersucht den kindlichen Leser als Entzifferer von intertextuellen Bezügen. Andrea Weinmann zeichnet die Figur des kindlichen Zuhörers in Kinderbüchern der 50er und 60er Jahre nach, während Gunther Reiss sich mit Strategien der Leserlenkung in Texten von Gudrun Pausewang auseinandersetzt. Heinrich Kaulen untersucht das Motiv jugendlicher Schlüssellektüre im Adoleszenzroman der Moderne, um dessen Verschwinden im Zeitalter der Postmoderne zu konstatieren. Beiträge von Gabriele von Glasenapp zum Wandel des historischen Romans für junge Leser und von Karin Richter und Ute Frey zur Medienrezeption von Grundschülern schließen sich an. Ein umfassender Rezensionsteil und eine Bibliographie der Fachliteratur des Vorjahrs (ca. 1.600 Titel) runden den Band ab.
Spaces of Adolescence
Adolescence is a phase of transition, change and upheaval. These processes are often translated into movements through space in literary representations. The narrated space is to be read in its construction and semantics as a complex symbol carrier that is able to connect different dimensions with one another. The study develops, with reference to cultural-scientific spatial theories, a methodical model to analyze current youth novels from a topographical perspective and thus to discuss the interweaving of space, movement and growing up. In the cultural studies and narratological view of (narrative) spaces of adolescence, new trends and developments in youth literature after 2000 manifest th...

The Queen's Mirror
This exciting and comprehensive anthology?the first anthology of German women's fairy tales in English?presents a variety of published and archival fairy tales from 1780 to 1900. These authors of these stories used fairy tales to explain their own lives, to teach children, to examine history, and to critique society and the status quo. Powerful and conflicted females are queens, girls on quests, mothers, daughters, magical wisewomen, and midwives to the fairies; they love, hate, murder, save children, fight tyranny, overcome cannibals, and rescue the working poor. ø Jeannine Blackwell's introduction places the tales in their historical, social, and critical context, and Shawn C. Jarvis's afterword presents a thematic analysis of the texts and approaches to reading them in conjunction with other European and American tales.
Fairy Tales as Literature of Literature
In this study, the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales are consistently examined as literature out of literature. Through the history of their creation and transformation, it becomes apparent how literary models were re-declared and transformed into the well-known fairy tale narratives, in the course of the editing process by the Brothers Grimm, essentially by Wilhelm Grimm. By means of a series of model studies – including Rapunzel, Jorinde und Joringel and Der Jude im Dorn – it is shown that the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales, contrary to their traditional assessment as 'folk tales', are of literary origin and have a literary character themselves.
German Children's and Youth Literature in Exile 1933-1950
This volume deals with authors in exile - those writers who were forced to leave their home country after the National Socialists seized power in 1933. Although many of the authors have continued to receive recognition in their particular fields, whether film or adult literature, one group of artists has been overlooked - the authors and illustrators of children's literature. Now for the first time German Children's and Youth Literature in Exile, 1933-1050, has recorded and made accessible a wealth of information on these German-speaking authors and illustrators who emigrated to many different countries and regions of the world. German Children's and Youth Literature in Exile, 1933-1950, con...
Films, Graphic Novels & Visuals
This book brings together two main disciplines, namely cultural studies and language education - both of which share a long standing interest in films, multimodal text-forms, and visuals. It highlights the increasing impact of visuals and multimodal texts on our perception of the world, our discourse behavior, and how this calls for a change in methodologies and media to be used in foreign language classrooms. The book helps to orientate educators in schools and teachers at universities within the broad concept of a multiliteracies approach and to contextualize it with regard to teaching and learning English as a foreign language.
