78 | BOOKBIRD Despite horror being often deemed inappropriate for children, it can be an important genre in portraying the terrors of the real world to young readers. Horror, Jessica McCort argues, “offers young readers...a dreamscape that parallels their reality, sometimes making it easier to cope with the monsters they must face in the real world” (22). Within children’s literature, horror allows young readers to face and experience the negative elements of reality through the grotesque in an entertaining fashion. An example of this is Ranjit Lal’s Faces in the Water, an Indian children’s novel addressing female infanticide through protagonist Gurmi’s encounter with the ghosts of his sisters who were killed at birth. The ghosts can be seen as a reference to the 1994 introduction of an Indian government program, the “Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, which made it illegal to determine the sex of a foetus unless it was necessary for urgent medical reasons” (Vaze). Despite this act, female infanticide and feticide remain a serious concern in Indian society. Comparing India’s male/female ratio to the worldwide natural ratio, around sixty million women are assumed missing in India (Hundal). Allie Dichiara informs us that, in India, “[t]he concept of daughters as ‘more expensive’ has been normalised throughout history.” Lal's novel addresses this issue directly when Surinder Aunty tells Gurmi that girls “are quite useless and then you have to get them married and all that nakhra and expense.... And who will look after us when we’re old? Our fine, sturdy sons of course!” (88). The Diwanchands, Gurmi’s family, commit female infanticide for economical reasons. Through the Diwanchands, Lal shows that when feticide becomes unavailable, this leads to female infanticide, signaling that the issue of child murder due to sex bias remains an issue in India despite the 1994 act. Titas Bose and Ahona Das describe that “[t]he framework of horror which is at times a mirror, and at other [sic] a foil to the mortal society, is susceptible to be used as a tool for social satire.” Thus, the horror genre creates a space for social critique due to its connection to reality and its ability to fictionalize the most frightening aspects of it. Although female infanticide is horrifying and deemed inappropriate for children, Lal manages to make the topic approachable for young readers by subverting horror tropes. Anurima Chanda describes that in Lal’s novel, “[i]nstead Friendly Ghosts, Horrifying Reality: Female Infanticide in Ranjit Lal’s Faces in the Water
78|BOOKBIRD尽管恐怖通常被认为不适合儿童,但它可以成为向年轻读者描绘现实世界恐怖的一种重要类型。杰西卡·麦科特认为,恐怖“为年轻读者提供了一个与现实相似的梦境,有时会让他们更容易应对现实世界中必须面对的怪物”(22)。在儿童文学中,恐怖让年轻读者以一种有趣的方式通过怪诞来面对和体验现实中的负面元素。兰吉特·拉尔(Ranjit Lal)的《水中的面孔》(Faces in the Water)就是一个例子,这是一部印度儿童小说,通过主人公古米(Gurmi)与出生时被杀害的姐妹的鬼魂相遇,讲述了杀害女婴的故事。这些鬼魂可以被视为是指1994年印度政府推出的一项计划,即“受孕前和出生前诊断技术法案”,该法案规定,除非出于紧急医疗原因有必要,否则确定胎儿性别是非法的(Vaze)。尽管有这一法令,杀害女婴和杀害胎儿仍然是印度社会严重关切的问题。将印度的男女比例与全球自然比例进行比较,印度约有6000万妇女失踪(亨达尔)。Allie Dichiara告诉我们,在印度,“女儿‘更贵’的概念在历史上一直是正常的。“拉尔的小说直接解决了这个问题,苏林德阿姨告诉古米,女孩“很没用,然后你必须让她们结婚,还有所有的nakhra和费用……当我们老了,谁来照顾我们?当然是我们的好儿子!”(88)。Gurmi的家人Diwanchands出于经济原因杀害女婴。通过Diwanchands,Lal表明,当无法杀死胎儿时,就会导致杀害女婴,这表明尽管1994年颁布了该法案,但由于性别偏见导致的儿童谋杀问题在印度仍然是一个问题。蒂塔斯·博斯(Titas Bose)和阿霍娜·达斯(Ahona Das)描述道,“恐怖的框架有时是一面镜子,有时是对人类社会的陪衬,很容易被用作社会讽刺的工具。”因此,恐怖类型创造了一个社会批判的空间,因为它与现实有联系,并且能够虚构其中最可怕的方面。尽管杀害女婴是可怕的,也被认为不适合儿童,但拉尔通过颠覆恐怖的比喻,设法让年轻读者能够接近这个话题。阿努里玛·昌达(Anurima Chanda)在拉尔的小说中描述道,“可怕的现实:兰吉特·拉尔(Ranjit Lal)在水中的脸上杀害女婴”

Abstract:While books can play important roles in helping children develop a positive sense of identity and of their place as equal members of society, evidence shows how the lack of diverse literature contributes to feelings of inferiority and invisibility for children from underrepresented groups as well as to a sense of superiority and normality for children from majority groups. This study reports on the representation of racial diversity in award-listed Australian children's picturesbooks in 2019 and 2020. A critical theoretical framework was employed to analyze both texts and images of ninety award-listed books. While the outcomes suggest increasing attention to diverse representation in children's literature, authentic and equitable representation falls short.

Abstract:Although their history dates back to the sixteenth century and the policies of Tsarist Russia, Siberian exiles—in the cultural memory of central and eastern Europe—are usually associated with the Gulag and the policies of Lenin and Stalin during the revolution, collectivization, the Great Terror, and the Second World War. As a result of the mass repressions, millions of adults and children of various nationalities, including Poles, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, and Russians, were deported to remote areas of the Soviet Union—Siberia, the Ural Mountains, and Kazakhstan. The article examines children's and young adult books about these deportations that not only showcase the totalitarian character of Stalinism but also contrast human brutality with the goodness and innocence of nature surrounding the child protagonists transported deep into the USSR. Thus, the novels' chronotope seems to convey the testimony of traumatic events in the history of post-Soviet nations and provide young readers with a sense of hope epitomized by the vastness of the snows of Siberia.

61.2 – 2023 | 69 The Interactive Latin American Library for Children and Youth (hereafter BILIJ, the acronym for its Spanish name, Biblioteca Interactiva Latinoamericana Infantil y Juvenil) opened its doors for the first time on January 8, 2022, in Santiago, Chile. This space was born out of a collective dream that began four years ago in Chile, where Latin American children’s literature was at the heart of the discussion. A vast and diverse territory comprising twenty countries with their own heritage and cultural richness, Latin America is often talked about as one homogenous region. Naturally, this misrepresentation makes its way into literary discussions, where distinguishing Latin American identities can become troublesome and their depictions can appear as deficient or incomplete. Luckily, writers, illustrators, and publishers of children’s literature have skillfully made efforts to put at the center of their works topics that affect Latin American childhood and have offered creative means to do so, achieving aesthetically and thematically engaging books. Although it is impossible to portray—or even discuss—Latin America as one uniform, unvaried region, it is still possible to find the common threads weaving this extensive identity while giving visibility to each territory. Furthermore, the mostly white and anglophonic exposure within children’s literature in the area for many decades has resulted in a lack of mirrors (using Rudine Sims Bishop’s useful analogy) and a lack of openings to understand their experiences and to be seen. Needless to say, this affects not only Latin American children, but also all the minority groups outside dominant social groups. All of those experiences, feelings, cultural differences, and knowledges that were, for the most part, suppressed or ignored in children’s traditional literature have made their way into a recent trend in publishing and research, where efforts are being made to stray away from ethnocentric ways to read the world through children’s books. This challenge instills the urgency for a regional library that could bring together the work of creators of the region and strengthen the sense of belonging to a common culture and identity. It started with the creation of Fundación Palabra, a nonprofit reading-promotion organization aiming to reinforce the bond between young people and reading, culture, science, and art through dialogue and enjoyment with books and cultural objects from Latin America and the world. Within four years, the foundation started BILIJ—a lively space driven by interactivity and the Latin American spirit.

61.2–2023|69拉丁美洲儿童和青年互动图书馆(以下简称BILIJ,西班牙语名称Biblioteca Interactitiva Latinoamericana Infantil y Juvenil的首字母缩写)于2022年1月8日在智利圣地亚哥首次开放。这个空间诞生于四年前在智利开始的一个集体梦想,当时拉丁美洲儿童文学是讨论的核心。拉丁美洲幅员辽阔,由20个国家组成,拥有自己的遗产和丰富的文化,经常被认为是一个同质的地区。自然,这种误传会进入文学讨论,在文学讨论中,区分拉丁美洲人的身份可能会变得麻烦,他们的描述可能会显得不足或不完整。幸运的是,作家、插画家和儿童文学出版商巧妙地将影响拉丁美洲童年的主题置于作品的中心,并为此提供了创造性的手段,实现了美学和主题引人入胜的书籍。尽管不可能将拉丁美洲描绘甚至讨论为一个统一、不变的地区,但仍然有可能找到编织这种广泛身份的共同线索,同时让每个地区都能看到。此外,几十年来,该地区儿童文学中以白人和英语为主的接触导致了缺乏镜子(使用Rudine Sims Bishop的有用比喻),也缺乏了解他们的经历和被看到的机会。不用说,这不仅影响到拉丁美洲儿童,也影响到占主导地位的社会群体之外的所有少数群体。在儿童传统文学中,所有这些在很大程度上被压制或忽视的经历、感受、文化差异和知识,都已成为出版和研究的最新趋势,人们正在努力摆脱以种族为中心的方式,通过儿童书籍阅读世界。这一挑战为建立一个区域图书馆注入了紧迫感,该图书馆可以汇集该区域创造者的工作,并加强对共同文化和身份的归属感。它始于创建Fundación Palabra,这是一个非营利的阅读促进组织,旨在通过与拉丁美洲和世界各地的书籍和文物进行对话和享受,加强年轻人与阅读、文化、科学和艺术之间的联系。四年内,该基金会创办了BILIJ——一个由互动和拉丁美洲精神驱动的生动空间。互动是通过参与来培养的BILIJ:来自全球南方的儿童文学互动空间
