O PNLD Literário estabeleceu-se como a maior política pública de fomento à leitura no âmbito nacional, substituindo seu antecessor, o PNBE. Entre 2020 e 2021, o projeto de pesquisa “PNLD Literário ...2020 – Tendências da literatura juvenil” acompanhou o desenvolvimento e a efetivação do programa, proporcionando análises das obras que chegavam às escolas. Assim, o presente trabalho apresenta análises de obras selecionadas pelos professores do sistema educacional do município de João Pessoa através do PNLD Literário na sua edição de 2020. As obras analisadas fazem parte da literatura juvenil, um campo ainda em desenvolvimento no país, o qual também ainda carece de fortuna crítica no seu campo de estudos. A partir dos critérios de Antunes (2019) e Ceccantini (2020) as análises objetivaram parâmetros notáveis do gênero, a fim de avaliar a qualidade estética dos textos escolhidos, sendo eles: Quando meu pai perdeu o emprego (2018); Irmão Negro (2018); Malala, a menina que queria ir para a escola (2018); e A face oculta: uma história de bullying e cyberbulling (2018). No conjunto, as obras mostraram semelhanças na utilização de artifícios narrativos simplificados e, em alguns casos, uma despreocupação em proporcionar uma experiência estética aos estudantes os quais os livros são destinados.
Secondary school teachers should support the development of their students’ reading preferences and of their reading autonomy. Unfortunately, most of the literary pieces used in the secondary ...classroom contain characters and situations with which our students do not identify. We seem to ignore that being able to appreciate classical literature takes time and an academic maturity that many school students have not yet developed. It is a reality that students must become readers first and then develop the necessary skills to understand more complex plots and the literary techniques used to achieve them. In this work we propose that an intertextual study that uses youth literature as a base can help students create links that allow them to face more complex texts with greater confidence in their reading skills. On the other hand, we also claim that the nature of literacy has changed with the appearance of new technologies and contend that we should bear in mind that printed literature is not the only useful ‘literature’ we can recommend to our students. Eventually, we propose the use of Jung’s theory of the archetypes so as to employ YA literature as a bridge to the classics.
En este trabajo se presenta una experiencia de Aprendizaje-Servicio puesta en práctica en la asignatura “Lengua y Literatura castellana y su didáctica” del 2º curso del Grado en Educación Primaria de ...la Universidade da Coruña durante el curso 2021-2022. La iniciativa permitió que el alumnado universitario se aproximase a literatura infantil ilustrada de temática ambiental al tiempo que extendían sus saberes, conocimientos e inquietudes sobre la sostenibilidad, la relación entre personas y medio natural y el cuidado a la naturaleza a los niños y niñas de los CEIP de la ciudad de A Coruña, mediante tertulias y otras actividades de educación literaria y ambiental. La propuesta tuvo como finalidad abrir espacios de socialización de la literatura, extender el diálogo social ante la crisis climática inspirado en el ecofeminismo entre los/as alumnos/as universitarios/as y los/as de los CEIP, integrar sus voces en la construcción del conocimiento universitario y dotar al estudiantado del Grado en Educación Primaria de herramientas pedagógicas para desarrollar su responsabilidad social y alentar la educación transformadora.
El presente trabajo analiza algunos de los datos obtenidos a través de una encuesta elaborada ad hoc para el profesorado de 5.º y 6.º curso de Educación Primaria. A partir de un análisis ...cuantitativo, se ha tratado de reflejar cuáles son los conocimientos sobre temas de género y su abordaje por parte de este grupo de docentes al tiempo que se valoraba si se presentaban diferencias entre el profesorado masculino y femenino. Son varias las cuestiones que presentan diferencias significativas al respecto y que apuntan futuras líneas de investigación.
Los nuevos media han cimentado recursos, fundado sujetos y múltiples universos; han, además, reformado el discurso facultando la experimentación y las nuevas construcciones del ser. Estamos ...asistiendo a una redefinición de términos: hoy ha cambiado el terreno en el que se abren camino los autores y los lectores: estamos hablando de los blogs y de las redes sociales, es decir comunidades en las que individuos particulares y organizaciones se interrelacionan, establecen vínculos y comparten intereses. En este sentido, la poesía en la red, en su trayectoria, se configura como lugar antropológico en el que se forjan prácticas identitarias y grupales, sobre todo entre las franjas más jóvenes de la sociedad. La demostración patente es la presencia masiva de seguidores adolescentes en plataformas como Instagram, Facebook y YouTube. Si la construcción de la identidad procede del contexto y de la experiencia lectora, está claro que la exposición a diferentes formas de escritura y de poesía pueden contribuir o influenciar el proceso. Partiendo de la convicción de que la web es importante como intermediario social, en este trabajo se analizarán casos españoles en diferentes niveles (fonológico, morfosintáctico y semántico retórico) y se relacionará la repercusión de esta nueva forma de escribir poesía con los cambios socioculturales que afectan a nuestros tiempos, como la dimensión comunitaria de las obras en la red. Tras un intento de esbozar brevemente la historia de la poesía en red desde las bitácoras hasta los social networks, se planteará el interrogante «¿Es la poesía en las redes sociales, poesía?», examinando estructuras, temas y el impacto de este tipo de composiciones en los jóvenes. Puesto que los productos culturales estudiados reflejan en su construcción elsistema económico dominante y son el resultado de profundas transformaciones sociales, este artículo intentará proporcionar una lectura del fenómeno a través del concepto de sociedad espectacularizada descrita por Debord, de la idea de industria cultural de Adorno y Horkheimer y de estudios recientes sobre el tema. Se considera, pues, este artículo, como un aporte importante sobre las nuevas formas textuales presentes en las redes, ya que recoge unos ejemplos ejemplificativos de los insta-poetas. Trata, además de reflejar los nuevos modos de producción en los que el autor/productor escribe más en función del consumo que de la experiencia artística.
Known for their frank portrayals of female sexuality, Paper Puppy (2019) by Yin Jianling and Beijing Doll (2004) by Chun Sue and are often considered among the landmark works of Chinese adolescent ...literature. Since their publication, both novels have inspired discussions on the question of broaching sex in fiction for young audiences. However, Yin’s novels received critical acclaim whilst Chun’s work was banned months after its initial publication. Taking the novels’ discrepant reception as a starting point, I explore the contexts of their production and trace the two different yet intersecting writing traditions they emerge from: qingshaonian wenxue (adolescent literature), predominantly authored by adults for an adolescent readership, and qingchun wenxue (youth literature), often associated with a particular group of teenage authors who write about their own lives. Although authors of qingshaonian wenxue and qingchun wenxue alike grapple with depictions of adolescent sexuality, the former is habitually regarded as “conservative” and “cautious” when it comes to matters of sex whilst the latter proves “radical” and “rule breaking”. Through further analysis of both texts, I reveal the complexities behind Beijing Doll’s ostensible iconoclastic bent and Paper Puppy’s supposed conformity. In so doing, I build on previous attempts to tease out the multifaceted sexual politics in Chinese YA, such as those by Chen Li and Lisa Chu Shen. By way of conclusion, I suggest that representing teen sexuality honestly and responsibly in the Chinese YA publishing scene remains challenging for today’s authors.
If the words of natural human language possess a universal positivity bias, as assumed by Boucher and Osgood's (1969) famous Pollyanna hypothesis and computationally confirmed for large text corpora ...in several languages (Dodds et al., 2015), then children and youth literature (CYL) should also show a Pollyanna effect. Here we tested this prediction applying an unsupervised vector space model-based sentiment analysis tool called
(Jacobs, 2019) to two CYL corpora, one in English (372 books) and one in German (500 books). Pitching our analysis at the sentence level, and assessing semantic as well as lexico-grammatical information, both corpora show the Pollyanna effect and thus add further evidence to the universality hypothesis. The results of our multivariate sentiment analyses provide interesting testable predictions for future scientific studies of literature.
This article explores the notion of changing South African youth identity and how it is depicted in the Siyagruva We are Grooving Series of novels for young adults. The article highlights the need ...for a broadening of literary theory in order to include an appropriate theoretical approach for new South African youth literature. This theory explores intercultural literary discourse by making use of, for example, the work of intercultural theorists such as Ting-Toomey (1999), Gudykunst (2003) and others. It is argued that this form of literary discourse is now appropriate as a theoretical paradigm within multilingual South Africa where intercultural communication is becoming a reality. There is also reference to intracultural communication where differences are beginning to appear between young people who are perceived to come from the same cultural group, for example, the character Brunette in the Siyagruva Series who is perceived as a “coconut” by her friends, and thus finds herself having to justify her belonging within a particular in-group or culture. The article concentrates on selected novels, though reference is made to many of the twenty three published novels in the Siyagruva Series, twenty in English, and three translated into isiXhosa.
