  • John Newbery Award Committee Manual
    JOHN NEWBERY AWARD COMMITTEE MANUAL October 2009 John Newbery Award Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD John Newbery The Newbery Medal is named for John Newbery (1713-1767), known as the first publisher of books for children. The son of a farmer, he married a widow who owned a printing business in Reading, England. They moved to London and, in 1743, Newbery published “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, intended for the Instruction and Amusement of Little Master Tommy and Pretty Miss Polly, with an agreeable Letter to read from Jack the Giant-Killer, as also a Ball and a Pincushion, the use of which will infallibly make Tommy a good Boy and Polly a good Girl.” Although this was not the first book published for children (A Play-Book for Children was published by “J.G.” as early as 1694), Newbery was the first person to take children’s book publishing seriously, and many of his methods were copied by other authors and publishers. Newbery was an admirer of John Locke, who advocated teaching children through “some easy pleasant book, suited to his capacity.” Newbery’s books invariably had their didactic side, but he tempered instruction with a sense of humor. Works like Goody Two-Shoes, in which a poor but virtuous young woman is rewarded with riches, satisfied the moralists while providing a story with all the ups and downs of a modern soap opera. Other books on Newbery’s list included Aesop’s Fables, books of history and science, miscellanies, and even a children’s magazine, The Lilliputian Magazine, which contained stories, riddles, and songs.

  • 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.

  • Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: a Systemic
    Swedish Literature on the British Market 1998-2013: A Systemic Approach Agnes Broomé A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL Department of Scandinavian Studies School of European Languages, Culture and Society September 2014 2 I, Agnes Broomé, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. …............................................................................... 3 4 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the role and function of contemporary Swedish fiction in English translation on the British book market in the period 1998-2013. Drawing on Bourdieu’s Field Theory, Even Zohar’s Polysystem Theory and DeLanda’s Assemblage Theory, it constructs a model capable of dynamically describing the life cycle of border-crossing books, from selection and production to marketing, sales and reception. This life cycle is driven and shaped by individual position-takings of book market actants, and by their complex interaction and continual evolution. The thesis thus develops an understanding of the book market and its actants that deliberately resists static or linear perspectives, acknowledging the centrality of complex interaction and dynamic development to the analysis of publishing histories of translated books. The theoretical component is complemented by case studies offering empirical insight into the model’s application. Each case study illuminates the theory from a different angle, creating thereby a composite picture of the complex, essentially unmappable processes that underlie the logic of the book market. The first takes as its subject the British publishing history of crime writer Liza Marklund, as well as its wider context, the Scandinavian crime boom.

Es war einmal ein kleiner Onkel, der war sehr einsam. Niemand kümmerte sich um ihn, obwohl er so nett war. Alle fanden ihn zu klein. Und dann fanden sie noch, dass er dumm aussah.

  • ANNIKA THOR Nominated for the 2020 Hans Christian Andersens
    ANNIKA THOR Foto Ulla Montán Nominated for the 2020 Hans Christian Andersens Award 1 Nomination Dear Jury Members and IBBY Secretariat We are delighted to nominate Author Annika Thor to the Hans Christian Andersen Award in the author category 2020. When the Board of IBBY Sweden decided to nominate the writer Annika Thor for the H C Andersen Award 2020, the principal argument was her strong advocacy for the human rights of children and young adults to be treated with dignity and respect. In her authorship, Thor centres on what it means to be human in relation to identity and belonging. The individual's struggle to find a place in existence is a motif, and the quests for love and community as well as loneliness are central concerns. Thor's texts draw attention to how migrants and refugee children are treated in their new context and social environments, in which identity and belonging are created in interaction with others. With gripping realism and insight into children's way of approaching reality, she depicts not least how refugees perceive themselves and are perceived by others as well as the experience of being viewed as an object or reduced to being part of a group without individuality. In the historical novel sequel about the Steiner girls, En ö i havet [A faraway island,] (1996), Näckrosdammen [The Lily Pond] (1997), Havets Djup [Deep Sea] (1998) and Öppet hav [Open Sea] (1999), Thor deals with themes that are as central today as during the pogroms in World War II. In an historical context she portrays how young people's identity, social and cultural belonging can develop.

Ambos son necesarios para el buen funcionamiento de la industria del libro, pero, con creciente intensidad, el primero es arrinconado por el segundo hasta ser suplantado por él. JUAN GOYTISOLO En EE.

[...] Entre la gran literatura y la literatura más popular, [...] mis libros no encajan ni en una categoría ni en la otra.

  • “La Lucha Libre Mexicana. Su Función Compensatoria En Relación Al Trauma Cultural”
    Traducción del artículo “Mexican Wrestling. Its Compensatory Function in Relation to Cultural Trauma”, del Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche, vol. 4, núm. 4. Con la autorización de UCPress para reproducirse en una página web institucional. “La lucha libre mexicana. Su función compensatoria en relación al trauma cultural” VÍCTOR MANUEL LÓPEZ G. La lucha libre mexicana se deriva del catch-as-catch-can francés de los años 30, que combina la lucha grecorromana con el wrestling estadounidense. Originalmente relacionado con el pancracio1, esta forma de lucha ha trascendido fronteras. La lucha libre ha dado el salto de los cuadriláteros a las páginas de las revistas deportivas, la televisión, el cine y las fotonovelas, consagrando un subgénero cuyos protagonistas se han convertido en héroes icónicos, tal como lo demuestra el siguiente extracto tomado de una narración, transmitida por televisión mexicana en septiembre de 2008. Anunciador: la pelea será a dos de tres caídas sin límite de tiempo. En la esquina de los técnicos tenemos al Dr. Planeta, y en la de los rudos, al Sr. Calavera. ¡Y comienza la pelea! Calavera lanza una patada voladora a su oponente, quien se retuerce de dolor. Calavera inmoviliza a su rival contra el suelo y le mete el dedo en el ojo. Esta es una estratagema ilegal. Público: ¡Auch! ¡Tramposo! ¡Castíguenlo! ¡Llamen a la policía! (Chiflidos e insultos dirigidos al Sr. Calavera.) Anunciador: Planeta huye de la golpiza. Se para y corre hacia las cuerdas. Calavera lo persigue y lanza otro golpe ilegal contra Planeta, que lo evade. Frustra a Calavera usando un candado de cangrejo.
