The present article analyzes the use of proverbs in The Inheritance Games (2020), the first book of the novel trilogy of the same name, currently enjoying great popularity and commercial success among young readers. In the first half of the book, proverbs are a central theme in the development of the action, continuing to be used frequently by various characters throughout the rest of the book, especially by Avery Grambs, the protagonist and first-person narrator. This use of proverbs in a novel targeted at young adults is remarkable inasmuch as they are a discourse device most commonly associated with older generations and traditions. Furthermore, proverbs contribute to the portrayal of various characters, illustrating their paremiological competence and the different ways in which they may be employed as established by proverb scholarship. As a result, the relevance of proverbs for the plot and their frequency of appearance challenges the widespread belief that they are old-fashioned uses of languages most frequently employed by older adults, potentially promoting an interest in them among teenagers and young adults reading the series.

As fictional figures, children elicit strong emotional responses. This potential for identification presents a challenge in the case of Taika Waititi’s Academy Award–nominated film Jojo Rabbit (2019). Who would want to feel sorry for a Nazi child? Instead of portraying children as either inherently innocent or evil, the film shows that the Nazi regime has corrupted the child through humiliation and violence. This form of poisonous pedagogy is the root of his fanaticism. The author contends that the film illustrates how the grip of racist ideology can be loosened with love and empathy as its antidotes. More importantly, the film addresses issues of contemporary relevance. While a Hollywood film like Jojo Rabbit will not end political polarization or racism, its reassurance that everything could turn out all right is meant to provide comfort and foster hope. By making viewers aware that prejudice is a behaviour that can be unlearned, cinema thus becomes a tool for democratic education.

Figurations of the child frequently establish and rely upon a linear conception of time. This article is a response to the problematic linearity of teleological developmentalism through a discussion of non-linear theoretical and fictional approaches to the figuration of the child. The author discusses some of the issues that have been raised with linear developmental models and joins a growing chorus of childhood studies and early education scholars by working against the constrictions of linear time. This article conceptualizes non-linear models of time and development, through exploration of Michael Ende’s Momo, a young adult novel that theorizes non-linear time, and Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, a contemporary best-seller that defies age categorization and invites non-linear material interaction (i.e., defying the determined action of reading from front to back and left to right). This article introduces and exemplifies the concept of “atemporal presence” to define the timeless present moment from which Momo’s titular character operates, and it offers the idea of “growing out” as an alternative to notions of “growing up.” This author illustrates how establishing non-linear conceptions of time and development creates sites for free, non-hierarchical growth.
儿童的形象经常建立并依赖于线性的时间概念。本文通过对儿童形象塑造的非线性理论和虚构方法的讨论，回应了目的论发展主义的线性问题。作者讨论了线性发展模型提出的一些问题，并通过反对线性时间的限制，加入了越来越多的儿童研究和早期教育学者的行列。本文通过对迈克尔·恩德（Michael Ende）的《莫莫》（Momo）和查理·麦克西（Charlie Mackesy）的《男孩、鼹鼠、狐狸和马》（The Boy，The Mole，The Fox and The Horse）的探索，将时间和发展的非线性模型概念化，一本挑战年龄分类并邀请非线性材料互动的当代畅销书（即挑战从前到后、从左到右阅读的既定动作）。本文引入并举例说明了“atemporal presence”的概念，以定义Momo名义上的角色运作的永恒当下，并提出了“成长”的概念作为“成长”概念的替代。

Children’s participation in the digital environment is gaining more attention as children seem to be active audiences, selecting and developing digital skills to access and interact across multiple platforms and devices. Nonetheless, little is known about media participation from the children’s perspective. This article presents the quantitative results of a survey of 244 children aged seven to fourteen years in Colombia about their perception of media use as a form of participation. The study’s results suggest that there is a varied range of media uses for different purposes that are not exclusive to just one device or one type of media. These results are significant as they show the way children look at their media landscape and engage with it. The authors also identify children’s perception of participation as well as their feelings regarding their media engagement. This research gives particular impetus to efforts aimed at recognizing the meanings of children’s participation in the media environment beyond the political and the civic duties to the social and the playful, incorporating children’s perceptions, experiences, and roles in society.
