Abstract

Children's literature has transcended linguistic and cultural borders since books and magazines for young readers were first produced, with popular books translated throughout the world. Emer O'Sullivan traces the history of comparative children's literature studies, from the enthusiastic internationalism of the post-war period - which set out from the idea of a supra-national world republic of childhood - to modern comparative criticism. Drawing on the scholarship and children's literature of many cultures and languages, she outlines the constituent areas that structure the field, including contact and transfer studies, intertextuality studies, intermediality studies and image studies. In doing so, she provides the first comprehensive overview of this exciting new research area. Comparative Children's Literature also links the fields of narratology and translation studies, to develop an original and highly valuable communicative model of translation. Taking in issues of children's 'classics', the canon and world literature for children, Comparative Children's Literature reveals that this branch of literature is not as genuinely international as it is often fondly assumed to be and is essential reading for those interested in the consequences of globalization on children's literature and culture.

Abstract

This book investigates how cultural sameness and difference has been presented in a variety of forms and genres of children's literature from Denmark, Germany, France, Russia, Britain, and the United States; ranging from English caricatures of the 1780s to dynamic representations of contemporary cosmopolitan childhood. The chapters address different models of presenting foreigners using examples from children's educational prints, dramatic performances, travel narratives, comics, and picture books. Contributors illuminate the ways in which the texts negotiate the tensions between the Enlightenment ideal of internationalism and discrete national or ethnic identities cultivated since the Romantic era, providing examples of ethnocentric cultural perspectives and of cultural relativism, as well as instances where discussions of child reader agency indicate how they might participate eventually in a tolerant transnational community.

Abstract

La littérature pour enfants, encore peu étudiée à l’université en France, a pourtant été défrichée par une génération de hercheurs « pionniers » parmi lesquels Isabelle Nières-Chevrel, professeur à l’université Rennes 2 de 1969 à 2004, occupe une place essentielle. Ce volume rassemble près d’une vingtaine de contributions qui lui sont offertes en hommage au travail accompli durant ces années de recherche, et surtout dans l’idée d’un fécond passage de relais entre les générations. Parmi ces « jeunes » chercheurs, plusieurs sont ou ont été ses étudiants, beaucoup se sont nourris de ses réflexions, tous incarnent la force d’une génération désormais convaincue que le livre destiné à l’enfance mérite un regard critique aussi aigu et exigeant que les formes littéraires et artistiques les plus légitimées. Formes éditoriales, réécritures et traductions, interprétations par l’image, illustration et création graphique pour l’enfance : tous les sujets qui ont fait l’objet des travaux d’Isabelle Nières-Chevrel trouvent ici des prolongements divers et neufs, portés par des chercheurs français mais aussi belges, suisses, allemands, espagnols, anglais, canadiens ou américains.
