授業概要
While the powerful cultural role of children's literature cannot be denied, there is no agreement about how to define childhood or literature for children. Its problematic nature is underscored by the increasing tendency of distinctions between child and adult cultures to dissolve. This course examines some important genres, paying attention to changes in production, use, and appreciation of children's literature.
