“Wild Boys, Value, and Longevity. Literary Value and Valuation in the Cases Mälarpirater by Sigfrid Siwertz and The Yearling by Marjorie Rawlings”
The valuation of literature, authorships, and ...individual texts ripples through time and space like waves. This pilot study which initiates a more extensive project on value considers Mälarpirater by Sigfrid Siwertz (1911) and The Yearling by Marjorie Rawlings (1938) and traces the literary valuation of these award-winning texts, usually seen as classic youth novels about wild boys. The authors were at approximately the same stage of their authorial life cycles at the time of publication, and both have been subject to major renegotiations in terms of value, but they are worlds apart when it comes to rhetorical position and style. The article draws up an inventory of the actors and value-creating acts in the valuation process, and discusses similarities and differences between two works that belong to such divergent contexts as the Swedish and the American literary arenas.
Conceptually, our readings draw on ideas from Pierre Bourdieu and Raymond Williams and operationalise a combination of these in relation to literary value. In the comparative analysis, we apply categories of value from previous Swedish literary research: style and form, knowledge, emotional, social, and economic values. The life cycles of the two authorships provide numerous examples of grounds for upward valuation and devaluation. The classification of Mälarpirater and The Yearling as youth novels, not least based on paratextual aspects, proves to be significant. Both Siwertz and Rawlings are more or less forgotten as authors today, but these works survived much longer than the authorships themselves.
The aim of our current research is to analyze the socio – linguistic aspects such as (age, gender, place, time, race, proper names, food names, moral and educational values) in the translation of ...Dominiga's novel by the Spanish writer Gonthaloa Torrenta Payster (1999). The translator's way of conveying those values to readers of young ages and youth. In this analysis, we have relied on the classification of the humanities and English translation, Andrew Chesterman. This classification includes sixteen variables, and each of these variables has a default value that has been classified into 4 groups which are (balance variables, language variables, translator variables and finally structural frame variables for the translated text). We raise several questions, including: - What are the considerations that the translator should take into account when translating for children and youth? - What knowledge and sciences must a translator possess in order to convey the main idea of the original text to readers of young ages and youth? - Is it possible for anyone with sufficient linguistic knowledge to translate a work directed at children and youth, or does he need to be familiar with the psychological, mental and social aspects of this category of readers? Each society has its own customs, traditions, ideas and beliefs that distinguish it from other societies. Here , the translating must take into account these aspects when translating any literary work from one language to another , especially if this work is intended for children , adolescents and youth , due to the importance and danger of these age stages and their impact on the formation of the personality of the child and young person , and directing it towards the right direction and avoiding all stories and novels that carry ideas that contradict the concepts and beliefs of the society in which the young reader lives . Therefore, the researcher wants to present through this research information, observations, analysis and strategies that the translator used when translating these aspects, and whether he used the correct method in translation or not.
Abstract Τhis article aims to investigate how students' responses to reading and talking about a fictional novel relate to teachers' ideas about the possibilities of a literary work. A large group ...(413) of readers aged 10–12 completed questionnaires both before and after reading the Romani author Katarina Taikon's Katitzi (1969/2015), which, in a fast-paced and engaging way touches upon subjects such as vulnerability and racism. Responses from 14 teachers are analysed in relation to these students’ answers. The results show great student engagement, with a clear majority (76%) formulating thoughts about Katitzi's situation and their contemporaries. The teachers, on the other hand, highlight problems they see with the literary work and tend to value reading non-fiction more. Through the discrepancy, the question arises as to whether the students' engagement after reading could be utilised more, so that they develop both as readers and participants in a current social debate. Keywords: teaching literature, children's and youth literature, book talks, Swedish in primary school Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo investigar cómo las respuestas de los y las estudiantes al leer y hablar sobre una novela de ficción se relacionan con las ideas de los profesores sobre las posibilidades de una obra literaria. Un gran grupo (413) de lectores de 10 a 12 años completó cuestionarios antes y después de leer Katitzi (1969/2015), de la autora romaní Katarina Taikon, que, de manera rápida y atractiva, aborda temas como la vulnerabilidad y el racismo. Se analizan las respuestas de 14 miembros del profesorado en relación con las respuestas del alumnado. Los resultados muestran un gran compromiso por parte de los y las estudiantes, con una clara mayoría (76%) expresando pensamientos sobre la situación de Katitzi y sus contemporáneos. Por otro lado, el profesorado resalta problemas que percibe en la obra literaria y tiende a valorar más la lectura de no ficción. A través de esta discrepancia, surge la pregunta de si la motivación del alumnado después de la lectura podría ser utilizado de manera más efectiva, para que se desarrollen tanto como lectores como participantes en un debate social actual.

Resum Aquest article té com a objectiu investigar com les respostes de l’estudiantat en llegir i parlar sobre una novel·la de ficció es relacionen amb les idees del professorat sobre les possibilitats d'una obra literària. Un grup ampli (413) de lectors de 10 a 12 anys va completar qüestionaris abans i després de llegir Katitzi (1969/2015), de l'autora romaní Katarina Taikon, que, d'una manera ràpida i atractiva, aborda temes com la vulnerabilitat i el racisme. Les respostes de 14 membres del professorat s’analitzen en relació amb les respostes d'aquests i aquestes estudiants. Els resultats mostren un gran compromís de l’alumnat, amb una clara majoria (76%) formulant pensaments sobre la situació de Katitzi i els seus contemporanis. El professorat, d'altra banda, destaca problemes que veu en l'obra literària i tendeix a valorar més la lectura de no ficció. A través de la discrepància, sorgeix la pregunta de si la implicació dels i les estudiants després de la lectura podria ser utilitzada més, de manera que es desenvolupen tant com a lectors com a participants en un debat social actual. Paraules clau: ensenyament de literatura, literatura infantil i juvenil, xerrades de llibres, suec a l'escola primària.
Der vorliegende Beitrag zeichnet das Projekt in Hinblick auf die Ausgangssituation, die Recherchestrategie und eine Diskussion der Ergebnisse in verdichteter Form nach. Das Projektziel bestand darin, ...die aktuellen Gegebenheiten in Bezug auf frei verfügbare Forschungsdaten aus der Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung (KJL-Forschung) zu evaluieren und nach Möglichkeit eine übersichtliche Sammlung nachnutzbarer Forschungsdaten zu erstellen. Die Rechercheergebnisse zeigen, dass ein solches Vorhaben aufgrund unzureichender Daten in diesem Bereich nicht umsetzbar ist und lassen auf ein wenig entwickeltes Forschungsdatenmanagement in der KJL-Forschung schließen. Es wird empfohlen, gezieltere Recherchen und die direkte Ansprache von Forschenden als effektivere Methoden zur Suche nach Forschungsdaten in der KJL-Forschung zu nutzen sowie Ressourcen auf die Weiterentwicklung von Datenmanagementpraktiken zu fokussieren.
Na perspectiva de tensionar o campo da literatura infantojuvenil que, mesmo consagrada, favoreceu a folclorização e a estereotipização das personagens negras, o presente artigo discute a constituição ...de uma literatura infantil e juvenil negra que apresenta personagens negras. Analisaram-se livros de literatura negra infantil e juvenil e, a partir das ilustrações e do texto, refletiu-se sobre o lugar da menina negra nessa literatura e na produção da literatura infantojuvenil brasileira. Discutiu-se a importância da literatura negra para a ampliação do campo científico da literatura e analisaram-se algumas obras sobre o lugar da menina negra na literatura negra infantil e juvenil. Concluiu-se que a menina negra emergiu na literatura negra por meio das escritoras negras, devido à história que carregam de subalternização social e literária.
Exhausted resources, exhausted art, exhausted science? Signs of exhaustion have been manifesting themselves in a wide variety of discourses for several years, especially since the coronavirus ...pandemic. Many people feel overwhelmed by the neoliberal performance and competitive society or are angry due to persistent racist and sexist structures. Traditional forms and genres of literature seem outdated in the face of new media means of expression and humanities methods and canons are no longer up to date. The academic and artistic contributions collected here touch on literary, social, political and ecological phenomena of exhaustion. They examine Franz Kafka's prose as well as German-language discourse pop, the settlement community on Monte Verità, contemporary children's and youth literature, Lower Sorbian fairy tales and the poetics of nature writing. The volume thus offers a multifaceted panorama of literature of exhaustion from the 19th century to the present day.
This paper describes a qualitative participatory action research study applying critical cosmopolitan literacies principles with pre-service English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers to address ...global human rights issues through international English youth literature. Using literary works on sociopolitical issues alongside critical pedagogy engagements and teaching practicum in various educational settings, the author as a teacher-researcher attempts to raise the student teachers' critical awareness to issues of power, privilege, and social justice embedded in the multicultural and multimodal texts. Analysis of the qualitative data indicates important outcomes in terms of an enhanced understanding of critical human rights issues pertaining to the formation of student teachers' identities as global-conscious and socially responsible educators. Meanwhile, with explicit guidance from the teacher educator, the student teachers also develop communicative intercultural competence, high-order thinking skills, and learning agency by engaging in multiliteracies practices within a cosmopolitan liteacies orientation.
Die Auseinandersetzung mit literarisch inszenierter Adoleszenz hat sich insbesondere seit der Jahrtausendwende zu einem produktiven Arbeitsfeld der Literaturwissenschaft entwickelt. Vor allem Kinder- ...und Jugendliteraturforschung sowie Literaturdidaktik haben davon profitiert. Doch wie hängen Adoleszenz und Alterität zusammen? Die Beiträger*innen erarbeiten anhand von exemplarischen literatur- und medienwissenschaftlichen Analysen Anknüpfungspunkte zwischen Adoleszenz und interkulturellen sowie postkolonialen Fragestellungen und greifen aktuelle Themen wie z.B. Flucht, Migration, Rassismus oder (post-)koloniale Erfahrungen auf. Dabei werden auch didaktische Überlegungen im Sinne eines rassismussensiblen, interkulturellen Unterrichts in den Fokus gerückt.
