Sendak’s influences on the art of the picture book as well as our thinking about childhood has been ubiquitous and profound. The seminar will explore Sendak works (in print and other media) with special attention to the rich historical sources of his works, his archetypal poetics, his revisioning of the form of the picture book, and his redefinition of the role of the artist creating works for young people in contemporary culture. Along with discussions of his core works, participants in the seminar will respond to Sendak’s works imaginatively, through a series of bi-weekly creative projects and a final, longer work.

  • Bringing the Dreamwork to the Picturebook Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are1
    Bringing the Dreamwork to the Picturebook Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are1 kenneth b. kidd Combining cultural history with the insights of psychoanalytic theory, this article ex- amines Maurice Sendak's Caldecott-winning and controversial Where the Wild Things Are (1963), arguing that Sendak’s book represents picturebook psychology as it stood in the early 1960s but also radically recasts it, paving the way for a groundswell in applied picturebook psychology. The book can be understood as rewriting classical Freudian analysis, retaining some of its rigor and edge while making it more palatably American. Where the Wild Things Are has been embraced as a psychological primer, a story about anger and its management through fantasy; it is also a text in which echoes of Freud remain audible. It is read it here as a bedtime-story version of Freud’s Wolf Man case his- tory of 1918, an updated and upbeat dream of the wolf boy. It is to Sendak what the Wolf Man case was to Freud, a career-making feral tale. Standing at the crossroads of Freudian tradition, child analysis, humanistic psychology, and bibliotherapy, the article reveals how the book both clarified and expanded the uses of picturebook enchantment. In 1963, humorist Louise Armstrong and illustrator Whitney Darrow Jr. published a pic- turebook entitled A Child’s Guide to Freud. Dedicated to »Sigmund F., A Really Mature Person,« A Child’s Guide to Freud is a send-up of Freudian ideas, pitched to adults and specifically to upper-middle-class New Yorkers. Armstrong was a confirmed Manhattan- ite and Darrow a longtime New Yorker cartoonist and children’s book illustrator.

  • They Know Everything Children and Suffering
    They Know Everything Children and Suffering Maurice Sendak Herbert Schreier Herbert Schreier We have learned a lot in the thirty years since we began seriously studying the long- term effects of trauma. Without going into too much detail, there are many kinds of trauma. There are traumas that occur at the hands of human beings, and traumas caused by natural disasters. There are kids traumatized individually, in groups, and there are whole populations traumatized. There are also kids who are traumatized repeatedly in family situations. People can be traumatized by situations. Witnesses to trauma, for example, can be traumatized. We also know that kids have an extraordinary memory for trauma and that memory can precede language. There are two really painful cases in the literature of children who were known to have experienced trauma prior to the development of language. One was an eight- month-old baby who was in a pornography ring. When she was being observed in play therapy, she kept stabbing a baby doll with a pencil in the belly button. Eight months into therapy it just happened that they discovered the cache of photographs, and there was this child with an erect penis in her belly button. If you don’t do trauma work, these stories may upset you, but just telling them can give you a sense of what it is to be traumatized. There’s a case of a child who watched her mother being blown up by a letter bomb when she was one year old, again preverbal. At age four, she was not getting on well with her adoptive family.

In what ways have speech bub- bles been co-opted from comic books to serve picture book narratives? What does this example suggest about the future of children’s books co-opting the visual language of comic books? 2 Schnatz The visual language of comics has slowly permeated American popular culture since the first regular newspaper strip, Richard Felton Outcault’s The Yellow Kid, back in 1895. From the on- omatopoetic visuals in the campy ’60s Batman television series and pop art paintings of Roy Lichtenstein, to the never-ending string of superhero-based blockbuster movies today, comics have been co-opted and adapted to almost every medium imaginable.

    n o s a e P.O .V. S Discussion Guide Wrestling with Angels A film by Freida Lee Mock www.pbs.org/pov n o s Discussion Guide | Wrestling with Angels a e S Letter from the Filmmaker NEW YORK , NEW YORK Dear Colleague, I first became interested in Tony Kushner after hearing him deliver an amazing, inspiring one-minute speech. In the early l990s I had heard about a provocative, long new play called Angels in America , but unlike many, who saw it in its gestation in San Francisco, Los Angeles or London or during its Broadway run in l993, I did not see Angels nor had I read or seen any of Kushner’s plays when I started this film in the fall of 2001. I had, however, read a short essay Tony had written called With a Little Help from My Friends , from his book Thinking About the Longstanding Problems of Virtue and Happiness . In this essay, Tony expressed his heartfelt thanks to all the people who had helped him become the playwright he is, especially following the acclaim of . I found the essay funny, generous, Angels in America Director Freida Lee Mock. openhearted, politically astute and surprising, and I said to myself, “Who is this Photo Joann Hertz person? No one thinks this way. Schadenfreude rules.” I loved the spirit of his ideas and the personality behind the writing. Shortly afterward I heard Tony speak at a college graduation. He was told he could speak but for one minute. His speech was hilarious and serious, highly political, a tour de force that surprised and inspired us about the possibilities of a better world.

    CREATIVE DIFFERENCES: SENDAK’S AND KNUSSEN’S INTENDED AUDIENCES OF WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE AND HIGGLETY PIGGLETY POP! by Leah Giselle Field M.Mus., University of Western Ontario, 2008 B.Mus., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2015 © Leah Giselle Field, 2015 Abstract Author and illustrator Maurice Sendak and composer Oliver Knussen collaborated on two one- act operas based on Sendak’s picture books Where the Wild Things Are and Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life. Though they are often programmed as children’s operas, Sendak and Knussen labeled the works fantasy operas, but have provided little commentary on any distinction between these labels. Through examination of their notes and commentary on the operas, published reviews and analysis of the operas, e-mail interviews conducted with operatic administrators and composers of children’s operas, and my analysis of the two works I intend to show that Sendak and Knussen had different target audiences in mind as they created these works. ii Preface This dissertation is an original intellectual product of the author, Leah Giselle Field, with the guidance of professors Dr. Alexander J. Fisher and Nancy Hermiston. The e-mail interviews discussed in Chapter II were covered by UBC Behavioral Research Board of Ethics Certificate number H12-03199 under the supervision of Principal Investigator Dr. Alexander J.
