1 Welcome from the IRSCL President

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the 23rd biennial conference of the IRSCL! This is the third occasion on which we are treated to Canadian hospitality, following upon the 1985 conference in and the 1999 biennial in .

IRSCL was inaugurated in 1969 in Frankfurt, Germany, when the research field of children’s literature was still emergent. Its founding members came from the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Spain, and Switzerland, with firm determination to cross political divides and national boundaries. From that moment onwards, IRSCL has continued to expand its international scope and currently boasts of some 300 members from 46 different countries worldwide. In 2008, it successfully launched its own journal, International Research in Children’s Literature, which is currently flourishing under the editorship of Kimberley Reynolds.

The need to engage in international scholarly exchange is now as pressing as ever before, while the value of cross-border collaboration has to be manifested and defended vigorously once again to counter current regurgitations of populism, nationalism, and xenophobia. The biennial IRSCL conferences go a long way towards meeting these needs. IRSCL may pride itself on a longstanding tradition of inspiring and engaging conferences, which offer a broad range of academic papers, cultural events, and excursions. They offer excellent opportunities for socializing with colleagues from diverse parts of the globe and to learn about their ongoing research. The biennials are the quickest way to an overview of the contemporary state of the art in the field of children’s literature research!

IRSCL is in the process of becoming as interdisciplinary as it is international, cultivating ever closer ties to the burgeoning fields of media studies and childhood studies: witness this conference’s theme, Possible and Impossible Children: Intersections of Children’s literature and Childhood Studies. We are honoured to be the guests of York University with its vibrant children’s studies program, in bilingual, multicultural and multiethnic Canada. On behalf of the executive board of the IRSCL, I would like to acknowledge the highly professional and energetic leadership of the two conference convenors, Cheryl Cowdy and Peter Cumming, and to express my heartfelt gratitude for putting this impressive event together.

Enjoy the conference in every way you can! And if you feel inspired by this event and consider supporting our work by joining the society, please feel free to contact me or any other member of the board to find out more about IRSCL, or visit the website at: www.irscl.com.

President 2 Welcome from the 2017 Convenors

Welcome to the 23rd Biennial Congress of IRSCL! York University is proud to host this congress in Toronto, , Canada. The theme for this year, Possible & Impossible Children: Intersections of Children’s Literature & Childhood Studies, lends itself to a variety of key issues related to production, representation, and reception of children’s and young adult texts from all media. It has attracted a variety of contributions from international scholars interested in current, productive intersections between the emerging, evolving, and globally expanding multidisciplinary field of children’s, childhood, and youth studies and the longer-established field of children’s and young adult literatures and media.

Keynote speakers for Congress 2017 include 10 internationally recognized scholars from the UK, the US, Mexico, France, Québec, Canada, and Australia at the forefront of children’s literature and childhood studies research. Congress also includes three special roundtables of creators of children’s literature and film: “Indigeneity & Children’s & Young Adult Literatures,” “The Medium & the Messengers: Local Artists, Globalized Genres, and Transnational Audiences,” and, in collaboration with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), “Mediated Possibilities: Young People as Creators, Producers and Audiences of Film.”

Graduate students and junior scholars have been given priority in the IRSCL program, which includes an opening night meet-and-greet, a "M(e[a]t) a Professor" mentorship lunch that pairs established and junior scholars, and professionalization panels on journal publishing and research centres.

Our exciting program has been made possible by the enthusiastic participation of a dedicated organizing committee from various faculties and departments at York University and elsewhere.

We thank the many members of the IRSCL community who assisted with vetting several hundred papers, of which almost 300 will be presented during Congress 2017. And we are very appreciative of the strong support for this international conference by York University, notably the Children’s Studies Program, the Department of Humanities, and the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. Please see our many sponsors on the back cover of this program.

Chi-Miigwetch to Knowledge Keeper Amy Desjarlais who will welcome you all to the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations on which York University is located. The area known as Tkaronto has been care taken by the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Métis. It is now home to many Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge the current treaty holders and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we wish you a memorable experience at IRSCL17, full of stimulating panel discussions, keynotes, roundtables, networking opportunities, and conversations.

Sincerely, Cheryl Cowdy & Peter Cumming, Congress Co-Convenors, IRSCL17

30 Guidelines for Chairing a Panel

IRSCL Congress 2017 Guidelines for Chairs

Thank you for chairing: this is a crucial role in enabling the conference to run smoothly!

For any kind of assistance (including technical support), you can spot our helpers by their shirts. If there’s something they can’t help you with, they will know who to call. Or you can use the conference app to contact us directly.

Before the Session 1) arrive a few minutes early 2) introduce yourself to those giving papers in your session 3) encourage presenters to load their presentations and test them 4) explain to the presenters the importance of respecting the maximum time limit of 20 minutes per paper and that you will show them a 5- minute and 2-minute warning before their allotted time ends

Beginning the Session 1) Please start on time and strictly keep the speakers to time—to ensure there is time for discussion after the papers. 2) Ask people to save their questions until after the three or four papers in the session have been presented. 3) Very briefly introduce the panel topic and the speakers: presenters’ names and titles are in the conference program and their abstracts can be accessed through the Congress app or on the Congress website. 4) You will be provided with a 5-minute and a 2-minute warning card to show to presenters. 5) Facilitate questions and discussion. If possible, have a question in mind for each presenter to make sure everyone is included. 6) End the session on time: people will be ready for a break or lunch.

SKYPE Presentations Only a very few SKYPE presentations have been included in the program. In each case, they have been placed first in the panel so that a SKYPE connection can be initiated 10 minutes before the panel begins. Chairs are asked to have questions for the SKYPE presenters only immediately after the paper so that the connection can be closed for the rest of the panel. A helper will be present for each of the SKYPE presentations to troubleshoot any problems. If, by any chance, problems persist for longer than 5 minutes, please apologize to the presenters and discontinue the presentation.

Thank you for your contribution to the success of IRSCL Congress 2017!

32 Keynote Speakers

KEYNOTE 1: Panel of Past IRSCL Presidents

Sandra L. Beckett is Professor Emeritus at Brock University, Canada, where she taught in the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures. She is a member of the Royal Society of Canada, a Chevalier in the Order of the Palmes Académiques and in the Order of La Pléiade, and a former president of the International Research Society for Children’s Literature. She has authored numerous books, including Revisioning Red Riding Hood Around the World: An Anthology of International Retellings (2014), Crossover Picturebooks: A Genre for All Ages(2012), Crossover Fiction: Global and Historical Perspectives (2009), Red Riding Hood for All Ages: A Fairy-Tale Icon in Cross- Cultural Contexts(2008), Recycling Red Riding Hood (2002), De grands romanciers écrivent pour les enfants (1997), and three works on the French novelist Henri Bosco. She is the editor of several books, including Transcending Boundaries: Writing for a Dual Audience of Children and Adults (1999), Reflections of Change: Children’s Literature Since 1945 (1997), and Beyond Babar: The European Tradition in Children’s Literature (2006), co-edited with Maria Nikolajeva.

Clare Bradford is Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Education at Deakin University, Australia. From 2007-2011 she served as President of the IRSCL; in 2009 the Trudeau Foundation (Canada) named her as its first Visiting International Fellow, and during 2010 she was a visiting scholar at the University of 's Centre for Young People's Texts and Cultures.

37 The Organizing Committee of IRSCL Congress 2017 is pleased to announce a very special roundtable:

The Medium & the Messengers: Local Artists, Globalized Genres, and Transnational Audiences Monday July 31st, 4:00pm-5:30pm, Lillian Smith Library, 239 College St. This event is open only to delegates who have signed up for the excursion to tour the Osborne and Merrill Collections at the library.

Canadian artists discussing how working in their chosen medium and genre has helped balance two, sometimes competing priorities: first, to expand assumed audiences for their work, partly to guard against being tokenized; and, second, to continue reaching underrepresented, misrepresented, or otherwise marginalized audiences featured in their work. The roundtable hopes to demonstrate how intersections between "the local” and "the global" demand diversifying how we imagine “diversity” when exploring cultures of childhood, children, and youth. Participants are Zetta Elliott, Shauntay Grant, Rukhsana Khan, and Vivek Shraya. Moderator: Gurbir Singh Jolly.

Zetta Elliott describes herself as “a Black feminist writer of poetry, plays, essays, novels, and stories for children.” Raised in Canada, she has lived in the US for over twenty years.

Zetta was awarded the Children’s Literature Association’s article award for her 2014 essay, “The Trouble with Magic: Conjuring the Past in New York City Parks” in Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures.

43 Special Meeting to Discuss IRSCL Principles

YOUR INVITATION TO A BROWN BAG LUNCH AT IRSCL CONGRESS 2017

ON AN IRSCL STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

Dear Colleagues,

Under the pressure of current political developments, the IRSCL Board decided to formulate a statement of principles in close collaboration with Philip Nel. We felt that the values that IRSCL cherishes cannot be taken for granted. Indeed, in this historical moment, they need explicit articulation and staunch defence. The election of Donald Trump in the US, including the barriers he successfully erected against incoming visitors from nine selected countries; the Brexit decision in the UK to leave the European Union; the aggressive nationalism and expansionism of Putin in Russia; the rising tide of populism in Europe; the instrumentalization of children’s literature and culture to re-introduce nationalist agendas into school curricula in Poland and other post-communist countries; the re-installment of canons of national culture in reputedly liberal countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands; the “Cultural Barbaric Practices Act” and proposed “Canadian Values Tests” in Canada: these are all signs indicating that the free flow of ideas and people across borders has come under siege. This free flow, however, is the very life blood of IRSCL and of scholarly inquiry at large. We would therefore like to issue a statement of principles (see below), but in order to be able to speak on behalf of the society as a whole, we would like to engage in discussion with you over this statement, to ensure that it indeed has broad support amongst our membership.

You are therefore cordially invited to a brown bag lunch meeting on Monday, July 31. Pick up your complimentary IRSCL Congress 2017 lunch at 12.00 noon in the Accolades West (ACW) foyer and join us in ACW 206 for discussion from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. (12:15 to 13:30). Hope to see you then and there!

On behalf of Philip Nel and the IRSCL Board,

Elisabeth Wesseling

President, IRSCL

P.S. Don’t worry: you will have plenty of time to travel to downtown Toronto for sightseeing and shopping or special excursions at Toronto Public Library and Toronto International Film Festival Bell Lightbox. The meeting will end early enough for you to get to events beginning at 3:00 p.m., and there will even be some volunteers to guide you from the meeting to the bus and subway to help get you downtown (with your Congress 2017 complimentary Presto card)!

Please see the “IRSCL Statement of Principles” on the next page.

44 IRSCL Statement of Principles

______

IRSCL: Statement of Principles

The International Research Society for Children’s Literature (IRSCL) aims to facilitate co- operation between researchers in different countries and in different branches of learning and to enable researchers in different countries to exchange information, share discussion of professional and theoretical issues, and initiate and co-ordinate research. These scholarly aspirations are in keeping with the international nature of the object of our research: children’s literature and culture evolve through ongoing processes of cross-border and cross-cultural translation, adaptation, and remediation. Our scholarship matters both because childhood reading, watching, writing, and playing are invaluable cultural practices of young people and because these practices shape the adults we become.

Children’s literature and culture also tell us who is included in that “we.” Recognizing that we inhabit intersecting axes of identity, IRSCL values the inclusion of scholars of any national origin, race, ethnicity, religion, class, ability, gender, sex, and sexuality. IRSCL also encourages scholarship on how these forms of identity become manifest in works for young people. IRSCL believes that international scholarly collaboration and the free flow of ideas across borders are indispensable: they grant insight into the sources of deep cultural assumptions about difference and help mobilize the capacity of children’s literature to foster empathy, nurture creativity, and imagine a better world.

IRSCL also knows that, in the current geopolitical climate, we cannot take for granted the values of intellectual freedom, scholarly expertise, careful and evidence-based argument and reflection, and the capacity to be open to contrary views, as substantiated through international exchange and collaboration. These values need ongoing articulation and defense: we are ready to rise to the occasion.
