The aim of this paper is to show how contemporary children’s fantasy fiction offers alternative methods to children and teenagers for confronting real-life issues, such as self-discovery, sense of belonging and the process of individuation, through the analysis of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline. In his contemporary children’s fantasy book, Gaiman empowers his protagonist to explore her sense of self, overcome her insecurities and fears in a fantastic mirror-like home. This paper argues that fantasy is an effective device for explaining the complexities and dilemmas of the self and examining a child’s quest for self-discovery in the process of maturation and individuation.

: Until recent times, the representation of desire and erotics in Spanish poetry was quite scanty. Even now, there are few poets who explicitly deal with sex in their poetry. In this article, I analyse the work of three poets with different outlooks on desire: a homosexual male (Rafael-José Díaz), a heterosexual female poet (Ada Salas), and a heterosexual male poet (Eduardo Moga). Taking into account, among others, the theories of Roland Barthes ( A Lover’s Discourse. Fragments ) and Anne Carson ( Eros the Bittersweet ), I attempt to emphasise the originality of the language treatment of bodies in love.
直到最近,西班牙诗歌中对欲望和情色的描写还相当稀少。即使是现在,也很少有诗人在他们的诗歌中明确地处理性。在这篇文章中,我分析了三位有着不同欲望观的诗人的作品:同性恋男诗人(rafael - jos Díaz)、异性恋女诗人(Ada Salas)和异性恋男诗人(Eduardo Moga)。考虑到罗兰·巴特的理论(《情人的话语》)。《碎片》和安妮·卡森(《苦乐参半的厄洛斯》),我试图强调爱情中身体的语言处理的原创性。

: This paper highlights the way in which some Latin American women poets from different decades of the twentieth century, and from different countries, approached the territory of desire and pleasure, at times vindicating it by revealing how patriarchal culture denied them their expression, both in life as in literature, at other times, simply and decisively, proclaiming it without any kind of restriction. To this goal, significant examples of poetic approaches, empha -ses, and different tones are provided throughout the article.

In this paper, the author analyzes the stereotypical representations of single woman from two French-language Algerian novels: Les Pierres dans ma poche by Kaouther Adimi and La fille de la Casbah by Leïla Marouane. By using different literary techniques, the chosen writers formulate a severe criticism of contemporary Algerian society which, despite the hard-won liberties of the second sex, maintains the status quo by enclosing women in stereotypical social roles and by stigmatizing those who do not do not conform to societal standards.
本文分析了阿尔及利亚法语小说中单身女性的刻板形象,分别是考瑟·阿迪米(Kaouther Adimi)的《Les Pierres dans ma poche》和Leïla Marouane的《La fille de La Casbah》。通过使用不同的文学技巧,被选中的作家对当代阿尔及利亚社会提出了严厉的批评,尽管第二性别获得了来之不易的自由,但仍维持现状,将妇女禁锢在陈规定型的社会角色中,并对那些不符合社会标准的人进行侮辱。
