Titre : Linguistic Perspectives on Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marvin K. L. Ching, Auteur ; Michael Cabot Haley, Auteur ; Ronald F. Lunsford, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2014 Collection : Routledge Library Editions Linguistics Importance : 332 p. Format : 23.4 x 15.6 x 2.8 centimetres (0.67 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-72404-3 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Linguistics Literature. Résumé : Although linguistics is often a technical and increasingly abstruse discipline, many linguists retain a concern for the way in which linguistics can shed light on literature and literary problems. In their introductory chapter, the editors of this collection of essays, by linguists on either side of the Atlantic, enunciate a bold stance that defines the theoretical relationship between linguistics and literature, delimits what should be considered a linguistic analysis of literature, and explains how such an analysis is related to current theories of readership and literary criticism. The editors' theory of the relationship between linguistic and literary studies stipulates an eclectic rather than a holistic approach, and the essays they have gathered together reflect this belief. The contributions include such varied approaches as transformational grammar, text grammar and speech act theory, and the topics analysed include many that are at the heart of literature, such as topicalization, imagery, figurative language, ambiguity, and the play on words through puns. The anthology as a whole illustrates how linguistic theory illuminates the very nature of literary language. It also gives evidence of the new insights into literature that have arisen from a close analysis of the language in which the literature is encoded.

Titre : Picturing the Wolf in Children's Literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Debra Mitts-Smith, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Children's Literature and Culture Importance : 218 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 centimetres (0.32 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-63666-7 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Wolf Children Literature. Résumé : From the villainous beast of "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs," to the nurturing wolves of Romulus and Remus and Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, the wolf has long been a part of the landscape of children's literature. Meanwhile, since the 1960s and the popularization of scientific research on these animals, children's books have begun to feature more nuanced views. In Picturing the Wolf in Children's Literature, Mitts-Smith analyzes visual images of the wolf in children's books published in Western Europe and North America from 1500 to the present. In particular, she considers how wolves are depicted in and across particular works, the values and attitudes that inform these depictions, and how the concept of the wolf has changed over time. What she discovers is that illustrations and photos in works for children impart social, cultural, and scientific information not only about wolves, but also about humans and human behavior. First encountered in childhood, picture books act as a training ground where the young learn both how to decode the "symbolic" wolf across various contexts and how to make sense of "real" wolves. Mitts-Smith studies sources including myths, legends, fables, folk and fairy tales, fractured tales, fictional stories, and nonfiction, highlighting those instances in which images play a major role, including illustrated anthologies, chapbooks, picture books, and informational books. This book will be of interest to children's literature scholars, as well as those interested in the figure of the wolf and how it has been informed over time.

Titre : Power, Voice and Subjectivity in Literature for Young Readers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Maria Nikolajeva, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 232 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.5 centimetres (0.34 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-63669-8 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Power,Voice Subjectivity Literature. Résumé : This book considers one of the most controversial aspects of children's and young adult literature: its use as an instrument of power. Children in contemporary Western society are oppressed and powerless, yet they are allowed, in fiction written by adults for the enlightenment and enjoyment of children, to become strong, brave, rich, powerful, and independent -- on certain conditions and for a limited time. Though the best children's literature offers readers the potential to challenge the authority of adults, many authors use artistic means such as the narrative voice and the subject position to manipulate the child reader. Looking at key works from the eighteenth century to the present, Nikolajeva explores topics such as genre, gender, crossvocalization, species, and picturebook images. Contemporary power theories including social and cultural studies, carnival theory, feminism, postcolonial and queer studies, and narratology are also considered, in order to demonstrate how a balance is maintained between the two opposite inherent goals of children's literature: to empower and to educate the child.
