  • Pet Or Food: Animals and Alimentary Taboos in Contemporary Children’S Literature
    Beyond Philology No. 14/3, 2017 ISSN 1732-1220, eISSN 2451-1498 Pet or food: Animals and alimentary taboos in contemporary children’s literature JUSTYNA SAWICKA Received 8.07.2017, received in revised form 16.09.2017, accepted 21.09.2017. Abstract In books for pre-school and early school-age children (4-9 years of age) published in Poland between 2008 and 2014 it is possible to observe a new alimentary taboo. Though statistics show that we consume more meat than ever, we seem to be hiding this fact from the children. The animal is disconnected from the meat, which becomes just a thing we eat so that there is no need to consider animal suffering or to apply moral judgement to this aspect. The analysed books, written by Scandinavian, Spanish and American and Polish authors, do not belong to the mainstream of children’s literature, but, by obscuring the connection between the animal and the food we consume, they seem to testify to the problem with this aspect of our world that the adults – authors, educators and parents. Key words alimentary taboo, children’s literature, pre-school children, animal story, Scandinavian children’s literature 88 Beyond Philology 14/3 Uroczy przyjaciel czy składnik diety: Tabu pokarmowe we współczesnych książkach dla dzieci Abstrakt Książki dla dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym i wczesnoszkolnym (4-9 lat) wydane w Polsce w latach 2008-2014 są świadectwem istnienia nowego tabu pokarmowego. Chociaż statystyki wskazują, że obecnie jemy więcej mięsa niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej, coraz częściej ukrywamy przed dziećmi fakt zjadania zwierząt. Odzwierzęcamy mięso i czynimy je przedmiotem, wtedy bowiem nie musimy zasta- nawiać się nad cierpieniem zwierząt i nad moralnym osądem tego faktu.
