Retelling Stories, Framing Culture / John Stephens

Public ISBD Titre : Retelling Stories, Framing Culture : Traditional Story and Metanarratives in Children's Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John Stephens, Auteur ; Robyn McCallum, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 330 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.8 centimetres (0.49 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-83614-2 Note générale : What happens to traditional stories when they are retold in another time and cultural context and for a different audience? This first-of-its-kind study discusses Bible stories, classical myths, heroic legends, Arthurian romances, Robin Hood lore, folk tales, 'oriental' tales, and other stories derived from European cultures. One chapter is devoted to various retellings of classics, from Shakespeare to "Wind in the Willows." The authors offer a general theory of what motivates the retelling of stories, and how stories express the aspirations of a society. An important function of stories is to introduce children to a cultural heritage, and to transmit a body of shared allusions and experiences that expresses a society's central values and assumptions. However, the cultural heritage may be modified through a pervasive tendency of retellings to produce socially conservative outcomes because of ethnocentric, androcentric and class-based assumptions in the source stories that persist into retellings. Therefore, some stories, such as classical myths, are particularly resistant to feminist reinterpretations, for example, while other types, such as folktales, are more malleable. In examining such possibilities, the book evaluates the processes of interpretation apparent in retellings. Index included. Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Metanarratives  Framing,Culture.

Subjectivity in Asian Children's Literature and Film / John Stephens

Public ISBD Titre : Subjectivity in Asian Children's Literature and Film : Global Theories and Implications Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John Stephens, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Children's Literature and Culture Importance : 246 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.8 centimetres (0.46 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-80688-6 Note générale : Winner of the Children's Literature Association Honor Book Award This volume establishes a dialogue between East and West in children's literature scholarship. In all cultures, children's literature shows a concern to depict identity and individual development, so that character and theme pivot on questions of agency and the circumstances that frame an individual's decisions and capacities to make choices and act upon them. Such issues of selfhood fall under the heading subjectivity. Attention to the representation of subjectivity in literature enables us to consider how values are formed and changed, how emotions are cultivated, and how maturation is experienced. Because subjectivities emerge in social contexts, they vary from place to place. This book brings together essays by scholars from several Asian countries - Japan, India, Pakistan, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Australia, Thailand, and The Philippines - to address subjectivities in fiction and film within frameworks that include social change, multiculturalism, post-colonialism, globalization, and glocalization. Few scholars of western children's literature have a ready understanding of what subjectivity entails in children's literature and film from Asian countries, especially where Buddhist or Confucian thought remains influential. This volume will impact scholarship and pedagogy both within the countries represented and in countries with established traditions in teaching and research, offering a major contribution to the flow of ideas between different academic and educational cultures.
