  • 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.

  • IBBY Australia Newsletter February 2016
    The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) is a non-profit organisation which represents an international network of people from all over the world committed to bringing books and children together. NEWSLETTER No 28 February, 2016 President’s Letter Dear members and supporters of IBBY Australia, It is time to join in the celebrations for our Golden Anniversary year! Once Upon a Time, in Strathfield NSW on 2 April, will be a festive day with presentations by Bronwyn Bancroft and Ursula Dubosarsky, Australian nominees for the Hans Christian Andersen Awards; and Dr Mark MacLeod’s address ‘IBBY in the Age of Globalisation.’ Bookings are coming in fast, so make sure you secure your place. If you have noticed that quite a number of IBBY members are of retirement age, why not encourage a younger friend or colleague to attend too? And in WA, the Quiz Night in Perth on Wednesday 6 April is a not-to-be-missed evening of literary camaraderie. In this special year, we look back gratefully to the founders who established IBBY. Jella Lepman began the work in post-War Europe; and in Australia, Ena Noël started our IBBY section and enlisted support from the children’s literature community. A succession of hard-working and enthusiastic presidents and members has continued the tradition, working to build bridges of children’s books throughout the world. We are proud to continue nominating Australians for the HCA Award. As you can see from the announcement on page 4, our nominees Bronwyn Bancroft and Ursula Dubosarsky were not included on the shortlist for this year’s award.

  • JOMEC Journal Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies
    JOMEC Journal Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies Published by Cardiff University Press Marketing Chinese children’s authors in an age of celebrity Frances Weightman University of Leeds Email: [email protected] Keywords Chinese Children’s Authors Celebrity Marketing Books Cao Wenxuan Paratexts Abstract In this paper I explore the topic of authorial self-fashioning in an age of celebrity. Specifically, I consider the persona of the contemporary children’s author, as he or she is constructed within the paraphernalia surrounding the main stories in children’s books. This paper is part of a broader project examining how authors and translators choose to represent themselves, or are represented by their agents and publishers, within the paratextual elements of books. The primary case study for this enquiry is Cao Wenxuan 曹文轩. Since winning the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Award, and with an increasing volume of his work available in translation, Cao is the prime example of a celebrity Chinese children’s author, now with global recognition. Cao has always been a prolific preface writer and many of his works have other paratextual elements, including an exceptionally large number of photos of the author, all of which provide a rich source for a comprehensive evaluation of the image constructed by author/publisher of the author’s persona as presented in the ‘margins’ of the books. Acknowledgement: The research for this article was funded by a Princeton University Library Fellowship, and I would also like to acknowledge the generous help and expertise of the librarians and curators of the Cotsen Children’s Library during my time there.

  • Chinese Children's Literature and the Challenges of Internationalization. Cao Wenxuan's Qingtong Kuihua in Italian Translati
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Archivio istituzionale della ricerca - Università degli Studi di Venezia Ca' Foscari Chinese children’s literature and the challenges of internationalization. Cao Wenxuan’s Qingtong kuihua in Italian translation Paolo Magagnin Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italy IrAsia, CNRS/Aix-Marseille Université, France 摘要： 近几年来，当代中国儿童文学在国外的译介和推广已经成为日益普遍的现象，获 得 2016 年国际安徒生奖的中国儿童文学作家曹文轩可能是这个趋势最具有代表性 的例子。曹文轩的作品在中国受到了评论家和读者的热烈欢迎，他富有优雅文风 和诗情精神的儿童小说经常描写人生悲剧和一些少年人物的身份建立。在将曹文 轩作品翻译成外语时，译者自然必须对原作的形式特点和中国文化内容较浓的成 分进行处理，而且出版商经常会要求对译稿进行一定的改写和编译，以便预期的 目标读者能够接受。笔者以曹文轩 2005 年的小说《青铜葵花》和它的意大利文版 为例，探索意大利出版商对译稿进行编译的几个方面，专门分析词语、句法、比 喻性语言、文本结构和审美因素的处理。最后，笔者还提出对上述编译策略及其 在外国读者接受中国儿童文学方面产生的影响的思考。 Abstract: The visibility of contemporary Chinese children’s literature among foreign readerships has become a growing phenomenon in recent years, epitomized by the case of the celebrated Chinese writer Cao Wenxuan, the winner of the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Award. Cao’s acclaimed novels are characterized by stylistic sophistication, idyllic overtones, emotionally charged descriptions of tragic events, a deep-rooted pedagogical intent, and the description of the young characters’ identity-building against the background of the shifts occurring in Chinese history and society. Such complexity strikingly emerges in translating these works for non-Chinese audiences: the translation must naturally take into account the formal specificity of the original and process its culture-specific traits, but these features often also undergo a degree of editorial rewriting to adapt them to the intended target readership. Using Cao Wenxuan’s 2005 novel Qingtong kuihua (“Bronze and Sunflower”) and its Italian translation as a case study, the publisher’s forms and degrees of adaptation of the translator’s manuscript will be described, with special reference to the treatment of vocabulary, syntax, figurative language, textual features, and aesthetic factors.
