Sedan Barnbokens byggklossar skrevs för tjugo år sedan har barnlitteraturens värld förändrats på ett sätt som var omöjligt att förutsäga och en ny upplaga känns mer angelägen än någonsin. I den mångfacetterade utgivningen har boken en bestämd plats med sin undersökning av berättartekniken i äldre och nyare barnböcker.Denna tredje upplaga har både utökats och kortats ned. Harry Potter-romanerna intar en framträdande plats, inte bara för att böckerna är välkända och ingår i många högskolekurser i barnlitteratur, utan även för att de utgör ett tacksamt material för olika diskussioner kring barnlitteraturens beståndsdelar.Den mest framträdande kompletteringen har skett inom området kognitiv narratologi, som både anknyter direkt till bokens huvudtanke och är ett av de mest dynamiska forskningsfälten inom den internationella barnlitteraturforskningen. Av de övriga nyare teorierna har författaren lagt särskild vikt på funktionshinderstudier, posthumanistiska studier och djurstudier, eftersom de har tillfogat barnlitteraturforskningen flera nya och spännande aspekter. Boken är en systervolym till Bilderbokens pusselbitar och avsedd för studenter i litteraturvetenskap vid universitet och högskolor samt för alla med intresse för barnlitteratur.

Bilderböcker är en stor och speciell del av barnlitteraturen. Om man bortser från den skenbara enkelheten och ser närmare på det intrikata samspel mellan ord och bilder som tillsammans skapar en betydelse, upptäcker man att bilderboken är en av de mest komplicerade konstnärliga former man kan tänka sig. Bilderna talar till läsaren utöver och jämsides med den skrivna texten. De kan uttrycka händelser, stämningar och känslor bättre än ord. Men vad är det som gör en bok till en bilderbok? Vad är skillnaden mellan en bilderbok och en barnbok med illustrationer? Vad är bilderbokens speciella estetik? På vilket sätt skiljer sig bilderbokens uttrycksmedel från romanens? Vilka olika förhållanden finns det mellan ord och bilder i en bilderbok? Vilka metoder kan tillämpas för att undersöka ikonotexten, den enhet av text och bild som förmedlar bilderbokens betydelse?I denna systervolym till Barnbokens byggklossar erbjuder Maria Nikolajeva enkla, praktiska och konsekventa redskap för att förstå, avnjuta och analysera bilderböcker. Hon diskuterar bilderboken som ett estetiskt föremål och går genom ikonotextens olika aspekter, som miljöskildring, personskildring, berättarperspektiv, temporalitet och modalitet. Boken är rikt illustrerad med exempel från klassiska och moderna bilderböcker. Den är avsedd för studenter i litteraturvetenskap, konstvetenskap, barnkultur och vid lärarhögskolor samt för alla med intresse för barnlitteratur.

Power, Voice and Subjectivity in Literature for Young Readers
AvMaria Nikolajeva
Häftad, Engelska, 2012

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book considers one of the most controversial aspects of children’s and young adult literature: its use as an instrument of power. Children in contemporary Western society are oppressed and powerless, yet they are allowed, in fiction written by adults for the enlightenment and enjoyment of children, to become strong, brave, rich, powerful, and independent -- on certain conditions and for a limited time. Though the best children’s literature offers readers the potential to challenge the authority of adults, many authors use artistic means such as the narrative voice and the subject position to manipulate the child reader. Looking at key works from the eighteenth century to the present, Nikolajeva explores topics such as genre, gender, crossvocalization, species, and picturebook images. Contemporary power theories including social and cultural studies, carnival theory, feminism, postcolonial and queer studies, and narratology are also considered, in order to demonstrate how a balance is maintained between the two opposite inherent goals of children’s literature: to empower and to educate the child.

Rhetoric of Character in Children's Literature

Now available in paperback! Until now, there was no theoretical research of character in children's fiction and very few comprehensive theoretical studies of literary characters in general. In her latest intellectual foray, the author of From Mythic to Linear ponders the art of characterization. Through a variety of critical perspectives, she uncovers the essential differences between story ("what we are told") and discourse ("how we are told"), and carefully distinguishes between how these are employed in children's fiction and in general fiction. Yet another masterful work by a leading figure in contemporary criticism.
From Mythic to Linear
Time in Children's Literature

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Now available in paperback! In this radically new approach to text typology, Maria Nikolajeva examines the depiction of time in literature for children. Nikolajeva identifies a continuum of texts ranging from those that depict non-linear time, typical of archaic, or mythical, thought, to those that express linearity, typical of contemporary mainstream literature. The author argues that literature is a deconstruction, a displacement, of myth, and that it depicts a symbolic coming-of-age process rather than a strictly representational reflection of a concrete 'reality.' The texts are categorized by the degree to which the coming-of-age process is accomplished; the movement is from an initial condition of primary harmony (Arcadia, Paradise, Utopia) through different stages toward either a successful or a failed passage. From Mythic to Linear is a broad study, encompassing a number of children's novels from different epochs and countries: Scandinavian, British, American, Canadian, Australian, South African, and East European. The international character contributes a better knowledge of children's literature from different parts of the world—widening the horizons of children's literature research too often confined to one particular country. Nikolajeva's unique approach allows her to disregard the traditional, and some would argue obsolete, division of children's novels into realism and fantasy. With its unique approach and broad international scope, From Mythic to Linear will be of interest to all those interested in children's literature and in comparative literature in general. Includes bibliography and footnotes.
Beyond Babar
The European Tradition in Children's Literature

All too often, attention is paid only to those children's novels that were written in English, with non-English-language works being passed over and neglected. Beyond Babar: The European Tradition in Children's Literature examines eleven of the most celebrated European children's novels in substantial, critical essays written by well-known international scholars. This approach provides a comprehensive discussion of the selected works from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Each essay offers a critical introduction to the text that can serve as a point of departure for literary scholars, professors of children's literature, primary and secondary school teachers, and librarians who are interested in texts that cross languages and cultures. Beyond Babar is especially meant to assist instructors of children's literature who would like to use these texts in the classroom, in order to begin to redress the English-language dominance of many children's literature courses. This volume will also be of interest to the general public, as its ultimate aim is to bring to the attention of all English-speaking readers the literature from other parts of the world, in this case from Europe. Beyond Babar helps to facilitate the border crossings of these European masterpieces of children's literature into the English-speaking world.
Aesthetic Approaches to Children's Literature
An Introduction

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
As undergraduate and graduate courses in children's literature become more established and numerous, there is an intense need for a textbook that offers aesthetic rather than educational approaches to children's literature. This work fills that void by providing students of children's literature with a comprehensible and easy-to-use analytical tool kit, showing through concrete demonstration how each tool might best be used. The chapters are organized around familiar and easily recognized features of literary texts (e.g. author, genre, character). Theoretical issues are illustrated by specific texts from the North American children's literature canon. The book explores the particular aesthetics of children's fiction and the ways critical theory may be applied to children's texts, while remaining accessible to a college readership without prior specialized knowledge of literary theory. Each chapter includes a short introduction to a specific theoretical approach (e.g. semiotics, feminist, psychoanalytic), an example of its application to a literary text, a number of activities (study questions, reading exercises), and suggestions for further explorations.

Contemporary Adolescent Literature and Culture

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Offering a wide range of critical perspectives, this volume explores the moral, ideological and literary landscapes in fiction and other cultural productions aimed at young adults. Topics examined are adolescence and the natural world, nationhood and identity, the mapping of sexual awakening onto postcolonial awareness, hybridity and trans-racial romance, transgressive sexuality, the sexually abused adolescent body, music as a code for identity formation, representations of adolescent emotion, and what neuroscience research tells us about young adult readers, writers, and young artists. Throughout, the volume explores the ways writers configure their adolescent protagonists as awkward, alienated, rebellious and unhappy, so that the figure of the young adult becomes a symbol of wider political and societal concerns. Examining in depth significant contemporary novels, including those by Julia Alvarez, Stephenie Meyer, Tamora Pierce, Malorie Blackman and Meg Rosoff, among others, Contemporary Adolescent Literature and Culture illuminates the ways in which the cultural constructions 'adolescent' and 'young adult fiction' share some of society's most painful anxieties and contradictions.

Time has passed since 'having a PhD in children's literature' was a funny joke in You've Got Mail. Children's literature research is now one of the most dynamic fields of literary criticism and has a bright future ahead as children's writers and publishers invent yet more forms of literature for young people, and researchers find yet more sophisticated ways of exploring them. This collection takes informed and scholarly readers to the utmost frontier of children's literature criticism, from the intricate worlds of children's poetry, picturebooks and video games to the new theoretical constellations of critical plant studies, non-fiction studies and big data analyses of literature. It offers a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches, including a mixture of empirical and theoretical research at the intersection of education and literary studies.
