It does not seem very long ago since people were sa ing that the allimpor- tant task was to satisfy the hunger-of the body before that‘of the mind. This was only partly justi ied, for mental nourishment just as is important as physical nourishment. It was in such a climate of opinion that the 1 ea of promoting international good-will through the books of young people was born. The International young Peoples Library was buil up in Germany. From this International Library grew the idea of an Inter- national Board on Books for Young Peop e. It was promoted in the belief that books written for oun people have reat possibili- .ties for a positive educationa in luence on dren and sets chi adolescents.' It for itself the promotion of good literature for the young reader in all countries, believing that similar problems arise everywhere. A reparatory conference for its fOUndation'took place in Munic in 1951, and was successful beyond expectations. or the first time publishers, educators, librarians, writers, and book—illustrators came togehter on the same platform. In the main speech held by Ortega y asset the belief in a child—centred approach to education was expressed. It was demonstrated at this conference that the most diverse questions could not be severed from their international context, and that the ri ht kind of literature promoted in oung people patriotism international good—will. A proposal that aroused special interest was that for an International Forum of Critical Appreciation of Books for Young People, and the value of children themselves as critrmswas not overlooked. The first oonstuctive task which the conference took upon itself was to enquire into the state of youth's lite— . rature in the chief civilised nations. By February 1955 working committees had worked on the International Boards articles of association. Emphasis was put on the promotion of youth's reading material on a world-wide basis, and to this end such measures as the creation of more International Libraries¢Were_envisaged. Plans are proceeding to put the financial side cf the organisation on an interna io- nal'basis. The Pestalozziannm in Zfirich Was decided upon as the ideal permanent centre-fer'the Beard. The International Board's second conference in Zurich has been planned on a wide basis. You will first hear a report on the enquiries into the state of the literature for people - young in the main civilised nations. Of the 25 questionnaires sent out 21 have been answered. We must not waste time in speculation but always keep the practical implications before us. In this connection I would mention Comic-strips as a problem of real urgen— cy. How much closer we would be to reality if we could draw young people themselves into our discussions. As highlights of our con— erence we look forward to the speeches of the scientist,Prof.Thurer and the writer, Erich Kastner. The success of the conference depends on all present. Internationaler Kongress fur das Jugendbuch Kurzbericht Uberdie gegenwãrtige Lage des Jugendbuches in Deutschland. Der Verfasser stellt a_ch die Aufgabe; nur auf Fragen und Erscheinungsformen im Jnnbuchwesen hinzuweisen, durch die sich die Lage in der deutschen Bundesrepublik von den andern Landern in gewissem Umfange unterseheidet. Dabei beleuchtet er die Situation des Jagendbuches: von der Jugend, von der Produktion, vom Sortiment, vom Autor, von der Bucherei und von der õffentlichen Hand her. I. Jugend und Buch Die deutsche Jugend ist heute selbststãndiger, kritischer, urteilt scharf, sie hãlt sich an erkennbare Tatbestande. Ideale und ethische Werte der Erwachsenen werden nicht mehr unbesehen úbernommen. Schon vom Beginn der Pubertãt an spielt die Gestaltung des ei— genen Lebensplanes eine wichtige Rolle, darin verwendbare An— regungen werden dankbar aufgenommen, und oft sucht die Jhgend im Glauben Bindungen, fur die sie im innerweltlichen Baum keine Há_tepunkte mehr findet. Dieses allgemeine Bild wird Uberschattet durch die Hachkriegs- zeit, seelische Spãtentwicklung bei Jngendlichen, die ihre versãumte Jagend nachholen wollen, Fluent zu Kitsch als Beak— tion auf die Entzauberung des tãglichen Lebens, Passivitãt ge—. genuber musiseher und geistiger Lebensgestaltung, als Ausgleich fur die Ueberforderungen in Schule und Beruf, triebhafter Lebens— hunger als Folge der “mageren Jahre". Daraus leitet der Verfasser einige Thesen fur das Verhãltnis der Jugend zum Buch ab: Die JUgend sucht die wirklichkeitsnahe Schilderung, die Darstellung von im eigenen Leben vorkommenden Gestalten, Schilderungen des kleinen, erreichbaren Glucks, das Abenteuer im Bereiohe eigener Erlebnismõgliohkeit, Teehnik und Forsohung, religiõse Literatur, wenn praktische Lebens— hilfe zeigend. Die Jugend liest viel mehr als fruher, mehr als frúher Erwachsenenliteratur. Der Inhalt ist allein wichtig, weniger Stil— und Formgefúhl. II. Jugendbuchproduktion. Einige Zahlen: 8% (llOO Titel) der Encher dieses Jahres sind Jugendbúcher. Dnrchschnittspreis 1951: 3.45 DM, Durchschnitts— auflage: 9500 Stuck, Gesamtauflage: 97927'000 Stuck, Das gut— gebundene JUgendbueh behauptet seinen Platz als Geschenkbueh immer. wie Daneben steigt der Erfolg der billigen, 2 DM—Reihen. Die billigen Romanhefte treten gegenúber gut redigierten Zeit- schriften und leider auch der Comic Stripe zurúek. III. Das Sortiment bemuht sich, die Jugendim Buohladen hei— misch zu machen und Wirbt in Schule, heim. Doch durfte Jugendtruppe und Jugend— trotz geringer Verdienstspanne, noch der Jugendliche fur das Leben besser lang ale Kãufer gewonnen werden. IV.

  • The Need for Global Literature
    1 The Need for Global Literature ardening and cooking: These topics often bring pleasure, as Gmost of us love food, and virtually every culture has its delec - table specialties. Many people enjoy and take pride in raising their own produce; for some, it is a necessity. The late 1990s saw the pub - lication of four children’s books that used these motifs to demon - strate and celebrate the diversity of our society. In Erika Tamar’s (1996) Garden of Happiness , the Lower East Side of New York City becomes the setting of a community garden for Puerto Rican, African American, Indian, Polish, Kansan, and Mexican neighbors. In Seedfolks, by Paul Fleischman (1997), a Cleveland, Ohio, neigh - borhood garden brings together 13 strangers from Vietnamese, Rumanian, white Kentuckian, Guatemalan, African American, Jewish, Haitian, Korean, British, Mexican, and Indian backgrounds. Mama Provi and the Pot of Rice, by Sylvia Rosa-Casanova (1997), por - trays how a Puerto Rican grandmother’s pot of arroz con pollo trans - forms into a multicultural feast with the help of white, Italian, black, and Chinese neighbors in one city apartment building. Another urban dwelling forms the setting in Judy Cox’s (1998) Now We Can Have a Wedding! when Jewish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, and Russian neighbors contribute to a multicultural banquet for a Greek-Mexican wedding. 4 The Need for Global Literature 5 Cities in the United States often are the places where small com - munities encompass such diverse cultures, so perhaps it is unsurpris - ing that these four books use similar premises.

  • Ideological Transactions: a Case Study of Elementary School
    IDEOLOGICAL TRANSACTIONS: A CASE STUDY OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ DIALOGS WITH INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S PICTUREBOOKS by OKSANA LUSHCHEVSKA (Under the Direction of Jennifer M. Graff) ABSTRACT Literacy scholars assert that an introduction to diversity and global perspective using literature is most effective at the elementary level (Lehman, Freeman, & Scharer, 2010; Schultz; 2010; Stan, 1999) and well-trained teachers can teach multicultural literature and international literature to all students with the same success and expectations despite their own different background/race/gender (Schultz, 2010, p. 18). However, a number of factors influence K-12 educators’ selection of children’s books for classroom use (Serafini, 2013). This study focuses primarily on what happens when in-service elementary school teachers transact with selected international children’s picturebooks. By focusing on how and why teachers vacillate between aesthetic reception and resistance (Rosenblatt, 1978; Soter, 1997) when reading international children’s literature, we can better understand ways by which we can match readers (teachers and students) with international children’s literature. Additionally, we can better understand the ideological underpinnings of elementary school teachers’ transactions with the selected international children’s picturebooks. INDEX WORDS: international children’s literature, elementary school teachers, transactional theory, heteroglossia IDEOLOGICAL TRANSACTIONS: A CASE STUDY OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ DIALOOGS WITH INTERNATIONAL

  • Comparative Children's Literature in the Age of Globalization
    “What do Ι need Comparative Children’s Literature for?” Comparative Children’s Literature in the age of globalization and ‘the infinitely varied mutual contest of sameness and difference’ Petros Panaou Assistant Professor of Children‟s Literature University of Nicosia Abstract This text is an introduction to the comparative field and its multiple uses and functions, emphasizing its important role within the globalized context of contemporary children‟s literature. As more and more groundbreaking research, publications, and conferences focus on issues that pertain to Comparative Children‟s Literature, the author of this article believes that more and more experts will be joining the international community of scholars, authors, illustrators, translators, educators, publishers, and librarians who agree that what happens in one „national literature‟ can no longer be studied or developed in isolation from what takes place in the rest of the world; or indeed from what takes place in other linguistic, cultural, religious and other communities within the same country. In the age of globalization, if we want to grasp the whole picture, we need to cast a much wider, more comparative net. Answering the title‟s question-- “What do Ι need Comparative Children‟s Literature for?”--the present article points out various „uses‟ of the comparative field/ tool, stressing that its most important use is its potential to „unlock‟ the cultural battles between sameness and difference that are so characteristic of contemporary global and local cultures. Children’s literature has transcended linguistic and cultural borders since books and magazines specifically intended for young readers were first produced on a significant scale in eighteenth-century Europe.

  • Hans Christian Andersen Awards Are the Highest International Distinction in Children’S Literature
    HANS CH RISTIAN A NDERSEN A WARDS Christine E. King, Iowa State University The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are the highest international distinction in children’s literature. They are given every other year to a living author and illustrator whose outstanding body of work is judged to have made a lasting contribution to literature for children and young people. The first three awards were made to authors for single works. The author’s award has been given since 1956 and the illustrator’s since 1966. They are presented by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). They have become the “Little Nobel Prize,” and their prestige has grown over the years. Selecting the award win- ners is considered by many to be IBBY’s most important activity. The nominations are made by the National Sections of IBBY, and the recipients are selected by a distinguished international jury of children’s literature specialists. The IBBY emphasizes that the Hans Christian Andersen Awards are not intended to be a national award, but an outstanding international award for chil- dren’s literature. A great effort is made to encourage the submission of candidates from all over the world, and a jury of ten experts is also selected from around the world in order to encourage a diversity of outlook and opinion. The award consists of a gold medal bearing the portrait of Hans Christian Andersen and a diploma and is presented at the opening ceremony of the IBBY Congress. The IBBY’s refereed journal Bookbird has a special Andersen Awards issue which presents all the nominees and documents the selection process.

  • The Imperial Household Agency Induction of Her Majesty The
    The Imperial Household Agency 1-1 Chiyoda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan 100-8111 TEL: +81-(0)3-3213-1111 Induction of Her Majesty the Empress as Honorary Member of the International Youth Library February 1, 2019 Her Majesty the Empress has been requested by Dr. Christiane Raabe, the Director of the International Youth Library in Munich, Germany, to become an honorary member of the International Youth Library. After due consideration by the Imperial Household Agency, it has been decided that Her Majesty will accept the request. 1. The International Youth Library, IYL, was founded by the German journalist and author Jella Lepman in 1949, soon after the end of World War II. After the devastation of the war, Jella Lepman wanted to provide children living under impoverished postwar conditions not only with food to feed their hunger but also with books to nourish their minds, and to build a more peaceful and freer world through stories for children. (Her Majesty has talked about these circumstances in Her address at the opening ceremony of the Jubilee Congress to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the International Board on Books for Young People, IBBY, in 2001; the speech was later published as a book in both English and Japanese, the English title being From Basel.) Today the International Youth Library has a collection of about 650,000 books in more than 130 languages. It also compiles a catalogue of recommended books from around the world every year and offers a scholarship program for foreign researchers to support the goal of pursuing research in the area of international child and youth literature.
