  • Talking Animals and the Internationalist Liberal Imagination: the Case of E

White Särtryck ur häfte 1/2019 Nummer 1/2019 JURIDISK PUBLIKATION 1/2019 TALKING ANIMALS AND THE INTERNATIONALIST LIBERAL IMAGINATION: THE CASE OF E. B. WHITE By Mark S. Weiner 1 This essay considers the significance of the literary representation of talking animals for the legal ideals of midcentury liberal internationalism. Its purpose is to contri­ bute to the cultural history of international law. It does so by reflecting on the conceptual and aesthetic links between the American author E. B. White’s classic children’s stories Stuart Little (1945) and Charlotte’s Web (1952) and his ana lysis of: 1) the rules of English prose, in the treatise The Elements of Style (1959), and 2) the establishment of the United Nations, about which he wrote extensively. The method of the essay is that of literary analysis, which examines an author’s use of and approach to language. In White’s view, good English style and sustain­ able international order both depended on the creation of “hard” rules enforceable, respectively, through critical literary judgment and global legal institutions. White’s contemporaneous depiction of anthropomorphic animal speech invites readers to imagine a humankind that has transcended the particularity of nationalism—a global civilization to be forged through the application of critical reading practices within a rules­based international order. 1.

  • Friendship Skills: Books for Children Ages 8 to 12 Friendship Skills #3 Library by Karen Stephens Books Open the Door to Reflection for Children of All Ages
    Friendship Skills: Books for Children Ages 8 to 12 Friendship Skills #3 Library by Karen Stephens Books open the door to reflection for children of all ages. Below I’ve listed some that will help children, grade 3 and older, to contemplate the hows, whys, and wherefores of friendship. Your children may enjoy reading the following books alone, or you can both read a book at the same time so you have a common interest. Don’t be fooled. Children who can read on their own STILL enjoy being read to occasionally by mom and dad. Swap chapters to read and you’ll build a stronger relationship as well as reading skills. Just as is true for younger children, reading books together is a safe, effective way for school-agers to explore the ins and outs of friendship. Discuss the plot and the characters’ behaviors and conversations to gain insight on how your child thinks and feels about making and keeping friends. Reading the books together will also create relaxed opportunities for children to ask you questions that so easily get lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Good communication about important things, like friendship, doesn’t just happen — parents have to set the stage for it. Talking about books is a great way to begin. Below are titles to get you started. They can be obtained either from a Children bookseller, child care, school, community library, or through your child’s school book club. who At the end of this list, I also cite books written for parents and teachers.

B. White’s Stuart Little adapted by Joseph Robinette How could a little boy, who is also a mouse, survive in a large world of humans, boat races, family pets, and stray dogs? With a tenacious heart, Stuart does exactly that – and more. Borne from the mind of E.B. White in his first children’s novel, Stuart Little, our small and loving hero makes friends with Margalo the bird and defends her from the sinister feline, Snowbell, while captaining sailboats and navigating the dangers of rolling window shades. White once wrote that he came up with Stuart Little while dreaming in a railway sleeping car about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. And, rather like a young boy, this mouse works his way through the world with a heart for adventure and companionship. Coming to life on stage, this classic children’s story brims with invention and imagination, and will encourage young audiences to problem solve beside our small hero to see the world with new eyes. Stuart teaches young and old that there is something to explore around every corner and that the possibility for friendship and family stretches over us all, whether feathered or furred, small or large, human or mouse.
