  • 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.

  • Cross-Border Reading, Contemporary Fiction, and the Imagined Child Kate Foster UCL This Paper Takes a Border-C
    Discussion paper: Cross-border reading, contemporary fiction, and the imagined child Kate Foster UCL This paper takes a border-crossing event in the life of one contemporary children’s novel from China as a vantage point from which to view ways that reading across the book and its shifting contexts can inform our understanding of the narrative. As a working paper in literary studies it is an exploratory venture towards questions for discussion. Context In 2016, the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Writing1 (HCAAW) was presented to Chinese children's author Cao Wenxuan 曹文轩 (b.1954). The award was preceded by the publication in 2015, in the UK and the US respectively, of the first of Cao’s novels to be translated into English, Bronze and Sunflower (青铜葵花, 2005) and Dawang Tome: The Amber Tiles (大王书:黄琉璃, 2008).2 While the domestic publishing industry, and market for children's books, are substantial, and imported titles in Chinese translation have had great success, the export of contemporary children's literature for the commercial English-language market is a relatively recent development.3 For a writer already at the forefront of the international circulation of contemporary children's literature from China to win the HCAAW was an event reported as a significant development in the recognition of Chinese books and authors in the world.4 Coupled with two newly-published English translations, it also marked a moment of border-crossing towards new readers.5 The author’s books for children arrived in a context where the scarcity of English-language information peripheral to writer, texts, and the contemporary Chinese children's literature scene in general, stood in noticeable contrast to the scale of material in the domestic market.

  • David Parkins
    le DDAVIDAVID PPARKINSARKINS Author Profi On 19 September 1998, Dennis the Menace had a baby sister. Her arrival brought to a climax a series of events which had been unfolding, week by week, in the famous children’s comic strip Dennis the Menace and Gnasher. Dennis had become increasingly suspicious while his mother had been expecting this new baby. He couldn’t understand why she was feeling sick all the time, and why his father seemed unusually happy. And they wouldn’t tell him what was going on. Dennis was so angry at being kept in the dark that he refused to appear in one week’s issue of the comic. He came back to a big surprise: the arrival of a new baby sister. These were memorable days in the life of The Beano, the comic in which Dennis the Menace and Gnasher appeared. Not only was the comic celebrating its 60th birthday, but these were also the fi rst Dennis the Menace cartoon strips drawn by an artist new to the team: David Parkins. David made his mark in more ways than one on this famous comic strip and its well- loved characters. It was his idea to name Dennis’ new sister Bea (short for Beatrice), PCP Photocopy or download from scholastic.co.uk/literacytime le which he chose because it echoed the name Beano (especially when her mother is heard shouting “Bea! No!”), as well as the yellow and black striped romper suit which she wore when he fi rst drew her. For many people, being an illustrator for The Beano would be success enough.

The Handbook includes both a review of and a distinctive approach to key themes in Chinese translation, such as translatability and equivalence, extraction of collocation, and translation from parallel and comparable corpora.

The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Translation is an essential reference work for advanced under- graduate and postgraduate students and scholars actively researching in this area.
