La voz de la memoria, nuevas aproximaciones al estudio de la Literatura Popular de Tradición Infantil
Mucho antes de que los hombres inventasen la escritura, y por supuesto mucho antes aún de la modernización de la imprenta, los relatos y las canciones de tradición oral alimentaban esa necesidad tan humana que llamamos cultura y que tan bien logra satisfacer la literatura. Aquella literatura de tradición oral ha tenido desde siempre en la niñez a uno de sus principales aliados, ya fuese como emisores, como receptores, o simplemente porque estaban por allí, a los pies de sus mayores… Esa voz infantil de la memoria de los pueblos ha sido el tema de investigación y encuentro de unas jornadas iberoamericanas que nacieron en 2007 en el seno de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, de la ...
Resistance and Survival
In her analysis of some of the most interesting and important children’s literature from Central America and the Caribbean, Ann González uses postcolonial narrative theory to expose and decode what marginalized peoples say when they tell stories to their children—and how the interpretations children give these stories today differ from the ways they have read them in the past. González reads against the grain, deconstructing and critiquing dominant discourses to reveal consistent narrative patterns throughout the region that have helped children maneuver in a world dominated by powerful figures—from parents to agents of social control, political repression, and global takeover. Many ...
The Sound of Things Falling
Winner of the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award 2014 Winner of the Alfaguara Prize 2011 Winner of the Gregor von Rezzori Prize 2013 No sooner does he get to know Ricardo Laverde in a seedy billiard hall in Bogot� than Antonio Yammara realises that the ex-pilot has a secret. Antonio's fascination with his new friend's life grows until the day Ricardo receives a mysterious, unmarked cassette. Shortly afterwards, he is shot dead on a street corner. Yammara's investigation into what happened leads back to the early 1960s, marijuana smuggling and a time before the cocaine trade trapped Colombia in a living nightmare.
Ethique et frontières en littérature d'enfance et de jeunesse
Cet ouvrage qui réunit didacticiens, auteurs, traducteurs et comparatistes spécialistes de la question daltérité linguistique, se propose dexplorer encore et toujours les frontières de la littérature denfance et de jeunesse, dans les significations ouvertes que lon peut donner aux limites que pose la notion de frontière : à la fois borne, peut-être parce que la lecture éthique peut apporter une réflexion sur les repères de vie, mais aussi au sens du limes antique, cest-à-dire un lieu déchanges, de porosité, entre valeurs et littérarité, entre les genres, entre les langues et les cultures.
Returns of Internally Displaced Persons during Armed Conflict
By 2017, it was estimated that over 40 million people were displaced within their own countries by conflict and violence across at least 56 countries worldwide. Solutions to the epidemic of forced internal displacement are frequently premised on the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Indeed, as a characteristic need of IDPs, such returns benefit from a special protection framework developed by IDP protection instruments such as the Guiding Principles. However, the legal status of those instruments remains ambiguous, generating attendant questions about the congruity of the IDP return framework with existing international law. Moreover, limited knowledge exists on its practical implementation. As a result, both inter-national agencies and individual scholars have repeatedly issued urgent calls for comprehensive and grounded theoretical investigation into this topic. This book answers those long-standing calls for research by presenting a detailed study of the return of conflict-afffected IDPs under international law.
