Besonders erwähnt werden muß hierbei auch die Übersetzungsleistung von Peter Urban-Halle, der diese Mischung aus Andersenschen Tönen und de Mylius' kreativsuchenden Interpretationen sensibel, mit ...großer Präzision und dem Gefühl für sprachliche Feinheiten ins Deutsche übertragen hat. Teil drei erläutert anhand von Kierkegaards Kritik an der subjektiven Schreibweise Andersens (193 ff.) den Dichtertypus Andersen, "der in seinem Text nicht die Welt als solche spiegelt, sondern den Spiegel, der die Welt spiegelt" (194). Im Dualismus zwischen "Erfüllung" und "Entleerung" sieht de Mylius Andersens "extreme... und desperate...
For this purpose, she applies the concept of glocalization, which refers to "a negotiation between domains considered global, local, East, or West that enriches realities and counters cultural ...uniformity" (xv). ...she wants to demonstrate how a glocal analysis can be utilized in a comparative study that highlights non-Western conceptions of identity and hybridity (xvi). ...schemas together build up a script when they are arranged in a temporal order, according to Gutierrez. While Gutierrez does not foreground glocalization's potential role in education until the concluding remarks, retrospectively her analyses can be conceptualized as tools for researchers and teachers to learn how to view children's literature as a glocal phenomenon, a perspective I am convinced both young people and adults would benefit from in a world where we are constantly encouraged to be more internationally engaged while differences between "us" and "them" are simultaneously reinforced. See Malin Alkestrand and Christopher Owen, "A Cognitive Analysis of Characters in Swedish and Anglophone Children's Fantasy Literature," International Research in Children's Literature, vol. 11, no. 1, 2018, p. 66. malin alkestrand, an assistant professor in comparative literature at Linnæus University, Sweden, explored fantasy literature's didactic potential regarding democracy, human rights, and multiculturalism in her dissertation.
E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and Mouse King is rarely brought into the orbit of children's literature, in large part because it has become part of the world of ballet and Christmas confections. ...In many ways, however, it is a foundational work of children's literature, for it establishes a secondary world that sets the stage for later works like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and The Chronicles of Narnia. I propose to look at how aesthetic enchantments are recruited to create other worlds that draw children in. The frenzied language of nonsense that marks the transition from ordinary reality to the surreal will come under investigation, as well as the ontological uncertainty that is the price for entering other worlds.
The Danish slave trade had officially been abolished in 1803, but the institution of racialized slavery was alive and well on the sugar plantations in the Danish West Indies. Since the acquisition of ...Saint croix from France in 1733, the number of sugar plantations under Danish authority had steadily grown, accompanied by a need for more enslaved labor. the sugar industry in copenhagen truly took offin the second half of the eighteenth century, and in the century to follow, sugar production proved tremendously important for the economic development of the city-at times, the export of refined and unrefined sugar made up to 90 percent of the net worth of all exports of industrial products from Copenhagen (Sveistrup and Willerslev 1945, 40-1; see also Ipsen 2015, 90-2). In the movie, the story about the Danish slave trade is told as a traditional colonial story of a young and handsome white idealistic man encountering the horrors and darkness of slave trading in Africa-in ways very similar to Joseph Conrad's classic Heart of Darkness (1899), including traveling up a wide river and reaching the climax of confrontation with his inner demons in a lightless dungeon representing the dark "heart" of Africa.
What helped influence Oscar Wilde to write such a unique fairy tale as “The Nightingale and the Rose” was other scholars and works of fiction. Ideas he agreed with, and methods he made use of, came ...from John Ruskin and Hans Christian Andersen. Closely examining this fairy tale by Wilde demonstrates his interest in revising existing forms for the fairy tale, and engaging contemporary conversations about value. Wilde’s story wrestles with the relative value of love, physical beauty, knowledge, and art, in direct response to arguments made by writers and philosophers who influenced him. Wilde’s fairy tale offers a satirical view of 19th century English society, and posits the importance of individualism in the face of materialism and conformity. Further examination of Wilde’s influences and teachers supports the claim that Wilde is showcasing materialism as a barrier between characters and their authentic selves.
This thesis engages with recent inquiries into the intersection of Black studies, ecocriticism, and animal studies to examine the role played by ecological entities and non-human animality in Nella ...Larsen’s Quicksand (1928). Building on the work of such scholars as Joshua Bennett and Zakiyyah Iman Jackson, it explores how Larsen’s Harlem Renaissance novel employs various modernist strategies to confront the racialized political and aesthetic formations that define and separate (white) Man from Black humanity, as well as the ways in which the non-human threads through such a political-aesthetic distinction. Quicksand dramatizes the destabilization of its protagonist, her desires, and her identity to explore and critique the composition of this structure, as well its imbrication in modernist tropes concerning nature. Far from allowing its protagonist to stabilize her identity with or against the non-human, Quicksand repeatedly reveals that the non-human is not a stabilizing narrative element. The concluding section of this thesis briefly explores Jean Toomer’s experimental book Cane (1923), setting it alongside Larsen’s novel to explore how a contrasting Harlem Renaissance text handles the relationship of Blackness, ecology, and white supremacy.
International youth literature -- translated books and English-language imports first published outside of the US -- can be the missing link in diversifying collections. Their diversity discussions ...tend to focus on multicultural literature that is originally published in the US. At first glance diverse books from here and abroad can seem indistinguishable since they may have a similar focus or setting -- that is, by race, ethnicity, ability, socioeconomic status, etc. -- so it is not surprising that international books are often mistaken for multicultural books. Sometimes only a close look will reveal that a book has been translated or was first published in English abroad. Reading international youth literature moves us to the margins for a change and is an opportunity to see what the rest of the world thinks. Each book also contains a selected list of resources such as awards and organizations as well as several essays about international children's literature.

Together these essays invite the queering of fairy tales across mediums, time, and place in ways that challenge the conventional understanding of the genre as predominantly heteronormative.
Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) is widely known in Japan as a children’s story writer and poet, but he was also grounded in real life as a teacher, soil scientist, and farmer. Recognizing the harsh ...realities for farmers in his native Iwate, he nonetheless dreamed of an ideal world, as seen in his stories. To better understand the dark realities of life in Iwate, Japan, Miyazawa changed his occupation from teacher to farmer, focusing more on social activism that would better the lives of the people in his community. His late children’s story, The Life of Gusukō Budori (Gusukō Budori no denki, 1932) focuses on the economic inequalities of rural farmers through the idea of science-driven community outreach, paralleling the life change the author himself made. His story, The Life of Gusukō Budori, a rare work that he managed to publish in a small magazine, took him ten years to finish. The story originated in a different precursor manuscript, The Life of Pennennennennen Nenemu (Pennennennennen Nenemu no denki, 1922). A comparison of the two stories will reveal how Miyazawa endeavored to include more community outreach in his writing. Whereas the manuscript work is set in a monster world and whose protagonist eventually obtains a successful position of “Chief Judge,” the revised work is set in advanced, sci-fi Īhatōv, the hopeful, almost-utopian Iwate only imagined by the author. What ties together the precursor work and the published story is that both protagonists lose their families due to a cold-weather drought, which was a reality of early twentieth century Iwate. While both stories are rooted in farming challenges, Miyazawa more fully develops his enthusiasm towards social activism in his revised work.My thesis will engage with the author’s two texts largely as a comparative textual analysis, taking the precursor manuscript and understanding how the revised work greatly modifies the precursor’s themes. In addition to my analysis of the structuring of the narratives, I examine the ways in which language in the two texts reveals the dark realities of farming life. I use the author’s biography as well as the historical situation of twentieth century rural Japan as context to better understand how the two texts work. Doing so, I will explain that Miyazawa's revisions reveal how he employed a dark realist style. He underscores in his revision that it is only through activist work that both the rich and poor can realize a better world when they work and live for each other. The changes across the two texts will also reveal clues about the direction Miyazawa was taking with his oeuvre in what would ultimately become the final phase of his career.
La presente investigación titulada “Nivel de Desarrollo del Lenguaje Oral en los niños del aula de 5 años en Instituciones Educativas Estatales y Particulares del distrito de El Agustino”, es un ...estudio realizado bajo un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, tomando en cuenta que pretende determinar las diferencias del nivel de desarrollo del lenguaje oral de los 87 niños que formaron parte de la muestra, a partir del análisis de las variables: discriminación auditiva, fonológica, sintáctica y semántica. Para el proceso de medición se emplea la prueba “Evaluación del Lenguaje Oral – ELO”. Los resultados demuestran que los niños que provienen de instituciones educativas particulares poseen una mayor puntuación media en su desarrollo del lenguaje oral, respecto al nivel evidenciado en niños que estudian en una institución estatal. En el análisis de cada punto evaluado, se halla que no existen relevantes diferencias en el desarrollo de los elementos sintácticos y discriminación auditiva. Mientras que, en los aspectos: semántico y fonológico, se encontró una evidente diferencia. Por medio de esta investigación se llega a la conclusión de que es importante difundir información sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje oral, con el propósito de sensibilizar y generar conciencia en los agentes próximos como la escuela y la familia.
