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.
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.
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.
El presente artículo describe el diseño, la implementación y la evaluación del Proyecto de Innovación de la Universidad de Oviedo “La literatura infantil y juvenil desde una perspectiva de género”, ...que se desarrolló a lo largo del curso 2018-2019 en la Facultad de Formación del Profesorado de dicha Universidad. Este proyecto tiene como objetivo fundamental mostrar al alumnado cómo las estructuras patriarcales están presentes en los cuentos y en la literatura juvenil y cómo este hecho influye en la construcción del género de los niños y niñas. A través de cuentos de la literatura española, asturiana y anglosajona, se analizaron cuestiones referidas al género, la igualdad y el sexismo y se propusieron actividades prácticas para que el alumnado pudiera adquirir herramientas que le permitiera, al ejercer su labor docente, llevar al aula lo aprendido. Para conocer la opinión del alumnado y su valoración sobre el grado en el que la implementación del proyecto había mejorado sus competencias docentes, se recogió información cuantitativa a través de distintos instrumentos tales como registros de calificaciones, registros de asistencia y listas de control, así como un cuestionario ad hoc. Los resultados obtenidos muestran una valoración muy positiva sobre el proyecto y un alto grado de satisfacción por parte del alumnado. Todo ello ha servido para emitir propuestas de mejora sobre la innovación planteada y apuntar futuras líneas de trabajo e investigación.
Recent historiographical perspectives dedicated to collective school memory have opened new research avenues in the way the cultural industry depicted the school, teachers, and students. This ...contribution follows such direction and intends to tackle the process of stratified transformations that interwove around Giani Stuparich’s narrative Un anno di scuola, (1929). This literary work resulted from a dialogue between the individual memory of the writer and the collective memory of youth during the first decade of 1900. Shared and individual memories within the cultural context of a Mitteleuropean and irredentist Trieste leave their traces in the literary work, and at the same time expand through time in the numerous editions of the text, as well as in the movie by Franco Giraldi released in 1977. The description of the school, teachers, and students is transformed into a space for imagination, where writing and re-writing influence each other, thus modifying the knowledge of the past. As a result, the past moves from one generation to the next in a dynamic flow, open to new interpretations.

An Utile Dulci for Youth: Ungdomens bibliotek as Book Series and Publishing Project The Swedish publishing house Svensk läraretidnings förlag published the extensive book series Barnbiblioteket Saga ...(the Children’s Library Saga) between 1899 and 1970. In this article, the publisher’s less extensive book series Ungdomens bibliotek (the Library of Youth) is analysed as an example of the marketing techniques that the publishing house used to reach different target groups. The article investigates how the publishing house used their smaller book series as a way to diversify and increase visibility for their books at a time when the main series Barnbiblioteket Saga was growing into a vast phenomenon that was becoming increasingly difficult to overview. This is investigated through an analysis of the book series’ paratexts, drawing on different theories from the field of publishing studies about the marketing of literature. The article focuses on marketing – through the book covers as well as material inside the books – and advertising. The study provides an explanation of how the publishing house used their marketing of Ungdomens bibliotek to strengthen their brand and expand their business from the 1920s through the 1940s. They accomplished this by developing strategies for curation: they curated a book series targeted for a more specific audience segment than the larger Barnbiblioteket Saga, while also emphasising the qualities that were associated with all their work: pedagogy, accessibility, richness (in subjects and variety), and formation.
