Abstract

ABSTRACT We analyse a corpus of 99 recent Spanish-language picturebooks, based on converging recommendations of prestigious reading promotion institutions in different countries. Focusing on the books that feature non-human characters, we inquire into how animals and other creatures may open possibilities to present diverse and intercultural worlds narrating difference differently. Using critical content analysis with an intersectional lens, we give an overview of the predominant narratives about groups and societal organisations in recommended children’s books. Most of the books in this sample (re)produce a desire for a social homogeneity, depicting communities of similar creatures threatened by those of a different kind and/or by the destabilisation of hierarchical orders. We highlight a few books that open up possibilities to narrate shifting identities and social positionings, as well as dynamics of exclusion and propose to look at the potential of non-representational stories for intercultural education.

非人类角色西班牙语绘本的多样性和同质性
我们分析了99本西班牙语绘本的语料库,基于不同国家著名阅读促进机构的推荐。我们关注以非人类角色为特征的书籍,探讨动物和其他生物如何打开可能性,以不同的方式呈现多样性和跨文化世界。使用交叉镜头的关键内容分析,我们给出了在推荐的儿童书籍中关于群体和社会组织的主要叙述的概述。这个样本中的大多数书(重新)产生了对社会同质性的渴望,描绘了由不同种类的生物和/或等级秩序的不稳定所威胁的相似生物组成的社区。我们重点介绍了几本书,它们为叙述身份和社会地位的变化以及排斥的动态提供了可能性,并建议研究非代表性故事在跨文化教育中的潜力。
