  • Who "invented" childhood? : some perspectives on difference between children and adults
    Vendramin, Valerija
    The article "browses" through various discourses which help produce "facts" about childhood and children. Taking as a starting point the Slovene Curriculum for Kindergartens, which uses new/different ... theoretical approaches to define early childhood, it problematizes supposedly universal aspects of childhood. It stresses the role of adults in the production of children's literature, be it in writing it or in translating it. Children's literature isnamely constant subject to adapting and localizing the content and form, with regard to how adults define childhood. There is another phenomenon, highly relevant to the definitions of childhood, which is nowadays often seen as endangering both childhood and children's books, i.e. techology or media.
