What A Wonderful World! Using Batchelder Books To Support Literacy, Deborah Parrott, Reneé C. Lyons
Reneé C. Lyons
Are you searching for fresh opportunities to support literacy through reader response activities? Batchelder Awards and international stories are relatively untapped resources that offer a global approach for children to expand comprehension through tales from many nations. Pairing these stories with reader response exercises provides an outstanding opportunity for collaboration with social studies and language arts teachers. Handouts will be provided. (F4-E162)

Adventures With Animals Big And Small, Emily Allen, Marcus Blandford, Shannon Brennan, Brennen Keen, Amanda Timm, Tara Penry, Sarah Obendorf
Tara Penry
The purpose of this project is to produce a short collection of out-of-print children’s stories that would be suitable for first grade level readers. Stories selected for the collection fit the theme of being seasonally themed and include animals as main protagonists. Under the guidance of Dr. Tara Penry, the class searched children’s magazines from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s to find stories that would be relevant and interesting to today’s elementary schoolers.

Dark Avunculate: Shame, Animality, And Queer Development In Oscar Wilde’S “The Star-Child”, Rasmus R. Simonsen
Dark Avunculate: Shame, Animality, And Queer Development In Oscar Wilde’S “The Star-Child”, Rasmus R. Simonsen
Rasmus R Simonsen, PhD
This article will outline the inequalities of the relationship between the Star-Child and his temporary master, known only as the Magician, in order to argue that Wilde’s fairy tale should be read as the formalization of a queer interval that traumatizes the Victorian norm of maturation. This is not to suggest that “Wilde’s Victorian readers [would] seem to have found [any]thing untoward about the fairy tales” (Duffy 328); nothing, at least, that hinted at the “homoromantic dimensions” which were to become so devastatingly central to his libel trial of 1895 (338). John-Charles Duffy has nevertheless shown that a complex interweaving …

Children’S Favourite Childhood Constructs: Identifying Patterns In Children’S Choices (2005-2014), Petros Panaou, Stan Steiner, Maggie Chase, Eun Son
Petros Panaou
Our Idaho-based team of four researchers (Steiner and Chase having been actively involved in the project) analysed Children’s Choices from 2005 to 2014. For the purposes of this presentation, we focused on the first age group (Beginning Readers: Grades K-2) reviewing a total of 330 favorite books, selected by 5,000 children every year over the past 10 years. This paper has been appropriately listed by the conference organizers under Reader Response. Reader response analysis may focus on the reader's process of engagement (Bleich, 1975; 1978; J. A. Langer, 1990, 1992; Rosenblatt, 1986, 1989), the social setting of the literacy event …
“What Have They Done To You Now, Tally?” Post-Posthuman Heroine Vs Transhumanist Scientist In The International Young Adult Series Uglies, Petros Panaou Dr
“What Have They Done To You Now, Tally?” Post-Posthuman Heroine Vs Transhumanist Scientist In The International Young Adult Series Uglies, Petros Panaou Dr
Petros Panaou
This article explores issues of importance to contemporary and future youths, scientists, and societies, as they are expressed in the first three books of the Uglies series, by Scott Westerfeld. A critical approach to transhumanist thought informs an analysis of the conflict between Dr. Cable, a transhumanist scientist, and Tally, the “post-posthuman” adolescent protagonist. This exploration demonstrates how Scott Westerfeld’s story, and perhaps other posthuman narratives, can engage us in useful conversations about what it means to be human, the coming of the posthuman age, and the roles of science and technology in it.

The Librarian In Rowling’S Harry Potter Series, Mary Freier
Mollie Freier
In her article "The Librarian in Rowling's Harry Potter Series" Mary P. Freier discusses Hermione Granger's skills as a librarian and researcher which lead to the defeat of Lord Voldemort. In each novel in the series, Hermione's research provides the necessary information for the solving of the mystery. Throughout the series, Hermione proves to be the only character who can use books effectively without putting herself or others in danger. Hermione begins the series as a child who loves the library, but does not always know how to use it effectively, while Madam Pince begins the series as a stereotypical …

Uncovering The Voice Of Asian American Youth In Young Adult Novels --Korean American Experiences, Ying-Bei Wang
Uncovering The Voice Of Asian American Youth In Young Adult Novels --Korean American Experiences, Ying-Bei Wang
Ying-bei Wang
In America, Young Adult fiction is a popular literature genre embraced by readers of all age. Its contents not only contain an educational purpose for its predominantly young readers but also offer a critical view of social and cultural issues. Most young adult novels narrate stories from the perspective of young protagonists, who are believed to be more candid and more likely to reveal their true experiences and thoughts. The young protagonists also feature a youthful innocence that could function as a powerful voice to criticize the corrupted adult world. This project seeks to understand the Asian American experiences by …

“Do I Get To Choose?” European Picturebooks And The Meaning Of Identity, Petros Panaou Dr, Tasoula Tsilimeni Dr
“Do I Get To Choose?” European Picturebooks And The Meaning Of Identity, Petros Panaou Dr, Tasoula Tsilimeni Dr
Petros Panaou
The struggle between homogeneity and difference that is so characteristic of European communal identity is expressed in the five European picturebooks analyzed here, as a negotiation of identity. Identity, or the self, is not taken for granted by the anthropomorphic animal protagonists. In this sense, all five heroes are to an extent actively and diversely constructed social selves: they view the self not just as something we are, but as an object we actively construct and live by, taking up or resisting the varied ways in which others perceive their identity.
International Classic Characters And National Ideologies: Pinocchio And Alice In Greece, Petros Panaou Dr, Tasoula Tsilimeni
International Classic Characters And National Ideologies: Pinocchio And Alice In Greece, Petros Panaou Dr, Tasoula Tsilimeni
Petros Panaou
The transference of classic characters across the multilingual literary universe is a widespread phenomenon in international children’s literature. Characters from classic works transgress national and cultural boundaries, currying with them their national identities or forming new identities, adjusting to their new surroundings. As they engage in fresh metafi ctional adventures, their intertextual journeys (as described by Umberto Eco), and their multiple transformations, often serve national ideologies within the cultures that receive them; authors tend to invest national and cultural capital on these characters’ classic status.

Reading And Creative Thinking Through Book-Play (Play/Game/Toy), Petros Panaou
Reading And Creative Thinking Through Book-Play (Play/Game/Toy), Petros Panaou
Petros Panaou
Every act of reading is, in one way or another, an act of playing (Giannicopoulou, 2008). Whether reading a story independently, being read a story, or observing a visual story in a picture book, the child is engaged in a process of playing with words, sounds, images, and ideas and re-creating an entire imaginary world in her/his mind. As early as 1938, in her seminal text Literature as Exploration, Luise Rosenblatt views reading as a unique process of exploration and exchange between an individual reader and a specific text: “The reader brings to the work personality traits, memories of past …
The Implied Reader Of The Translation: Picture Books And ‘Normal Children’ Translated From One Language/Culture To Another, Petros Panaou, Tasoula Tsilimeni
The Implied Reader Of The Translation: Picture Books And ‘Normal Children’ Translated From One Language/Culture To Another, Petros Panaou, Tasoula Tsilimeni
Petros Panaou
In this chapter, Petros Panaou and Tasoula Tsilimeni approach the translation of children’s literature from a different perspective than that of the more academic arguments critiqued by Maria Nikolajeva in the previous chapter. By combining insights from narratology with translation theory and practice, they discuss how translators, when they move from source texts to target texts, translate cultural expectations and ideologies regarding childhood along with the actual words, sometimes distorting the originals and seeking to remove the “foreign” elements that make translated literature so valuable for children in their quest to understand cultural difference.
“What Do Ι Need Comparative Children’S Literature For?” Comparative Children’S Literature In The Age Of Globalization And The Mutual Effort Of Sameness And Difference To Cannibalize One Another, Petros Panaou
Petros Panaou
Answering the title’s question--“What do Ι need Comparative Children’s Literature for?--the present article points to various ‘uses’ of the comparative field/ tool in literary criticism and multicultural education. 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.
