Children’s Literature in Place
Children’s Literature in Place: Surveying the Landscapes of Children’s Culture is an edited collection dedicated to individual, international, and interdisciplinary considerations of the places and spaces of children’s literature, media, and culture, from content to methodology, in fictional, virtual, and material settings. This volume proposes a survey of the changing landscapes of children’s culture, the expected and unexpected spaces and places that emerge as and because of children’s culture. The places and spaces of children’s literature are varied and diverse. By making place studies a guiding principle, this book builds on the impressive body of international research on p...
Children and Languages Today
Motivated by the need to bring together researchers involved in the acquisition, learning and teaching of the Croatian language and foreign languages to learners at lower elementary level, the recurring scientific conferences Children and Languages Today were established in 2001. At the time the Croatian academic community was short of a conference that was dedicated entirely to critical thinking and the exchange of research findings, outcomes and experience in these particular study areas. As it turns out, Children and Languages Today has served as an incentive for other conferences and meetings in Croatia that continue to promote research in the fields of first and second language acquisit...
Essays in Honour of Boris Berić’s Sixty-Fifth Birthday
Written as a Festschrift honouring a beloved professor, colleague, and friend, this volume comprises a collection of essays offering a wide array of contemporary approaches to literature, linguistics, and applied linguistics. It covers a variety of topics, ranging from medieval to contemporary literature and language, and explores genres as diverse as fantasy, dystopia, drama, poetry, and film, addressing issues such as post- and transhumanism, age, gender, identity, family, metonymy, and narrative discourse. The diversity of themes and methodologies here makes the collection a widely applicable resource in the academic discussion of literature, language, and culture, both as a significant contribution to different philological fields and a useful educational tool for anyone teaching or studying English, Anglophone literature, British, American, and German studies, English as a Second Language, linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and applied linguistics, or conducting research in these fields.
Detective Fiction for Young Readers
Detective Fiction for Young Readers is an examination of contemporary mystery stories for children and young adults. This volume explores how the conventions, rules, and expectations of adult mystery fiction have filtered down, so to speak, especially in the past several decades, to writing for younger readers. The book is organized into three sections that explore the whodunit, the hardboiled, and the metaphysical styles of mystery fiction. Furthermore, this text analyzes how each style has been adapted for a younger audience, acknowledging and exploring representative novels most in keeping with that style. This volume is ideal for students, academics, and readers interested in children’s mystery fiction that adheres to formulas made popular after the golden age of classic detective fiction.
Risk in Children’s Adventure Literature
Risk in Children’s Adventure Literature examines the way in which adults discuss the reading and entertainment habits of children, and with it the assumption that adventure is a timeless and stable constant whose meaning and value is self-evident. A closer enquiry into British and American adventure texts for children over the past 150 years reveals a host of complexities occluded by the term, and the ways in which adults invoke adventure as a means of attempting to get to grips with the nebulous figure of ‘the child’. Writing about adventure also necessitates writing about risk, and this book argues that adults have historically used adventure to conceptualise the relationship between...

Ästhetik(en) der Pornographie
Pornographie ist längst ein allgegenwärtiges Phänomen der Alltags- und Populärkultur: Darstellungen von Sexualitäten und dem sexuellen Körper (das Suffix ›-graphie‹ weist auf diesen abbildenden und inszenierenden Charakter hin) durch Sprache, Zeichen und Bilder finden sich bereits zu jeder Zeit und in jeder Kultur, seit dem 20. Jahrhundert dann aber natürlich vor allem in Fotographie und Film. Hierbei haben sich über die Jahrhunderte in Europa mal dezidierte Schreibstrategien herausgebildet, um der Zensur zu entkommen, mal Darstellungskonventionen eines ›männlichen Blicks‹ etabliert – Ästhetiken der Pornographie, die sich auf einem engen Grat zwischen der ›kunstvollen‹ Erotik und dem ›verruchten‹ Obszönen bewegen. Mit Beiträgen von Tatiana Ageeva, Hans Richard Brittnacher, Philip Jacobi, Katharina Kohm, Norbert Lennartz, Christian Lenz, Swantje van Mark, Jonas Nesselhauf, Wieland Schwanebeck und Sabine Sielke.
Sigue siendo la hora del té
Ha pasado más de un siglo y medio desde que un paseo en barca con las niñas Liddell inspirara a Lewis Carroll para escribir ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ (1865). En la actualidad continúan estrenándose series y películas basadas en la aventura de Alicia, la novela se puede leer en más de cien idiomas y existen multitud de productos y servicios relacionados con sus escenarios y personajes, desde ropa hasta restaurantes temáticos. ¿Cómo ha evolucionado esta obra hasta el punto de tener un espacio propio en la cultura popular y de ser cada vez más relevante en el imaginario colectivo? Exploramos las posibles respuestas a esa pregunta y, para ello, debemos emprender un viaje como el de Alicia, en este caso, a través del tiempo y alrededor del mundo.
Silenced in the Library
Censorship has been an ongoing phenomenon even in "the land of the free." This examination of banned books across U.S. history examines the motivations and effects of censorship, shows us how our view of right and wrong has evolved over the years, and helps readers to understand the tremendous importance of books and films in our society. Books ranging from classics such as A Farewell to Arms, Lord of the Rings, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Color Purple as well as best-selling books such as Are You There, God? It's Me Margaret, titles in the Harry Potter series, and various books by bestselling novelist Stephen King have all been on the banned books list. What was the content that got the...
