  • Nagroda Im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda
    Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena Nagroda za wybitne zasługi dla literatury dla dzieci i młodzieży Co dwa lata IBBY przyznaje autorom i ilustratorom książek dziecięcych swoje najwyższe wyróżnienie – Nagrodę im. Hansa Christiana Andersena. Otrzymują ją osoby żyjące, których twórczość jest bardzo ważna dla literatury dziecięcej. Nagroda ta, często nazywana „Małym Noblem”, to najważniejsze międzynarodowe odznaczenie, przyznawane za twórczość dla dzieci. Patronem nagrody jest Jej Wysokość, Małgorzata II, Królowa Danii. Nominacje do tej prestiżowej nagrody zgłaszane są przez narodowe sekcje, a wyboru laureatów dokonuje międzynarodowe jury, w którego skład wchodzą badacze i znawcy literatury dziecięcej. Nagrodę im. H. Ch. Andersena zaczęto przyznawać w 1956 roku, w kategorii Autor, a pierwszy ilustrator otrzymał ją dziesięć lat później. Na nagrodę składają się: złoty medal i dyplom, wręczane na uroczystej ceremonii, podczas Kongresu IBBY. Z okazji przyznania nagrody ukazuje się zawsze specjalny numer czasopisma „Bookbird”, w którym zamieszczane są nazwiska nominowanych, a także sprawozdanie z obrad Jury. Do tej pory żaden polski pisarz nie otrzymał tego odznaczenia, jednak polskie nazwisko widnieje na liście nagrodzonych. W 1982 roku bowiem Małego Nobla otrzymał wybitny polski grafik i ilustrator Zbigniew Rychlicki. Nagroda im. H. Ch. Andersena w 2022 r. Kolejnych zwycięzców nagrody im. Hansa Christiana Andersena poznamy wiosną 2022 podczas targów w Bolonii. Na długiej liście nominowanych, na której jest aż 66 nazwisk z 33 krajów – 33 pisarzy i 33 ilustratorów znaleźli się Marcin Szczygielski oraz Iwona Chmielewska. MARCIN SZCZYGIELSKI Marcin Szczygielski jest znanym polskim pisarzem, dziennikarzem i grafikiem. Jego prace były publikowane m.in. w Nowej Fantastyce czy Newsweeku, a jako dziennikarz swoją karierę związał również z tygodnikiem Wprost oraz miesięcznikiem Moje mieszkanie, którego był redaktorem naczelnym.

  • American and Chinese Literature. Behind the Mask of Postmodernism: a National Failure
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 6 (2018 11) 903-926 ~ ~ ~ УДК 141.78:82.0(1-927/-928)(510) American and Chinese Literature. Behind the Mask of Postmodernism: a National Failure Alberto Castelli* Hainan University China Received 01.05.2018, received in revised form 23.05.2018, accepted 06.06.2018 The article is less an investigation of American, and Chinese postmodern fiction from a comparative perspective, than it is an acknowledgement of postmodern fiction as a representation of national failure. Besides the well-known attributes of black humour, fantasy and dreams, fragmentation, meta- fictional elements, intertextuality, parody, radical irony, literature lavishes a violent attack on what, at different degrees, could be understood as a postmodern society. The aesthetic of social protest such as deviant sexuality, drug and alcohol addiction (America), and expressions of insanity, historical decadence (China) are to be read as the sense of tragedy binding tightly two civilisations never so similar at any stage in history. Keywords: american dream, cultural revolution, maoism, post-modernity, postmodernism. DOI: 10.17516/1997-1370-0279. Research area: philology.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 A b s t ra c t The short story has been an important genre in 20th century Chinese literature. By its very nature the short story affords the writer the opportunity to introduce swiftly any developments in ideology, theme or style. Scholars have interpreted Chinese fiction published during 1979 as indicative of a "change" in the development of 20th century Chinese literature. This study examines a number of short stories from 1979 in order to determine the extent of that "change". The first two chapters concern the establishment of a representative database and the adoption of viable methods of interpretation. An important, although much neglected, phenomenon in the make-up of 1979 literature are the works which appeared in so-called "nonofficial" journals.

Vol. 1, No. 4, 2016, pp. 53-57. doi: 10.11648/j.ellc.20160104.13 Received: September 1, 2016; Accepted: November 3, 2016; Published: January 5, 2017 Abstract: Novel laureate in literature since 2012, the prominent Chinese novelist Mo Yan was born and raised in a village in the province of Shandong. His works are often themed on rural life. Contrary to the case in Turkey, researches on rural life in China have advanced on a continuous basis since the 20s of the 20th century in China. This can be explained with the fact that primarily Mo Yan and Jia Pingwa, as prominent novelists in China, never stopped writing on villages, villagers and inner world of peasants that endeavoured to lead the life in the city as they did back in the village. In this brief research study, we try to discuss in what way Mo Yan touched on the pastoral literature in his works. Keywords: Mo Yan, Pastoral Literature, Red Sorghum, China that were born and studied in the village. 1. Introduction Pastoral Literature in China has a very special place in In the long history of agricultural civilization, literature has Chinese literature.

  • Love Stories in Contemporary China: Cultural Production in the New Millennium
    Chapter 1 Love stories in contemporary China: cultural production in the new millennium WANNING SUN AND LING YANG ORCID WANNING SUN: 0000-0002-8687-3739 ORCiD Ling Yang: 0000-0003-0335-3680. Abstract In the introductory chapter we present the moral and intellectual justifications for a book dedicated to the cultural politics of love and intimacy in contemporary China. We outline the background, scope and distinct approach we are taking. We also provide an historical overview of the ways in which narratives of love have evolved in Chinese culture, as well as an overview of some of the most popular discourses in contemporary cultural expressions. The chapter ends with a summary of all chapters. Since the 1980s, China has been undergoing modernization at an unparalleled pace, resulting in dramatic social, cultural and economic impacts in the daily lives of Chinese people. This volume brings together scholars who are interested in the ways in which the multitude of political, economic, social, cultural and technological forces currently at work in China are (re)shaping the meanings of love and intimacy in public culture. The contributors to this volume focus on a Chapter 1 ~ Love stories in contemporary China ~ Sun and Yang range of cultural and media forms such as literature, film, television, music and new media. They also examine new cultural practices such as online activism, virtual intimacy and relationship counselling. By focusing on love and intimacy, this book seeks to shed light on texts and textual practices in China’s media, literature and popular culture that are not easily accessible to those outside the Mainland but which express meanings that have profound significance in the lives of individuals.
