Red Zora and Her Gang1 (orig. Die rote Zora und ihre Bande) is a 1941 novel by the German-Swiss author Kurt Held (Kurt Kläber), inspired by the Croatian mentality and Croatian history. While it was enormously popular in Germany, the Croatian translation was issued only in 2017. In this paper, we analyse the hypothetical position of Red Zora within the Croatian canon of children’s literature established at the time the novel was written. Red Zora tends towards realism in shaping children’s reality based on unusual adventures in common with the most dominant of children’s novels so that it fits into the contemporary novelistic matrix, however with a distinctive detail – a girl as “gang leader” – which goes beyond the trends of Croatian children’s literature of the time. The paper considers the hypothetical question of the possible influence of the novel on the development of Croatian children’s literature regarding the construction of the female character.

Architecture, in the real world as well as in the fictional world of children’s literature, seems always to be connected with ideology, i.e. a system of beliefs held by a social group or society as a whole. This is shown with respect to German children’s literature dealing with famous buildings of the 20th century, namely the semi-detached house by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in the Stuttgart Weißenhofsiedlung that is portrayed in Hannelore erlebt die Großstadt by Clara Hohrath (1935 [1931]), the Hochhaus an der Weberwiese by Hermann Henselmann in the Berlin Stalinallee, figuring in Die Flaschenpost im Hochhaus by Annegret Hofmann and Helga Leue (1988), and the 660–680 Lake Shore Drive Apartments by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in Chicago, described in Alles Bauhaus? Eine fantastische Zeitreise mit Mia und Lucas by Ingolf Kern, Werner Möller and Kitty Kahane (2019).
在儿童文学的真实世界和虚构世界中,建筑似乎总是与意识形态联系在一起,即一个社会群体或整个社会所持有的信仰体系。这一点在涉及20世纪著名建筑的德国儿童文学中得到了体现,即勒·柯布西耶和Pierre Jeanneret在斯图加特的半独立式住宅,Clara Hohrath(1935[1931])在Hannelore erlebt die Großstadt(1935[1931])中描绘,Hermann Henselmann在柏林的Hochhaus an der Weberwiese,Annegret Hofmann和Helga Leue(1988)在《霍赫豪斯的弗拉申波斯特》(Die Flaschenpost im Hochhaus)中的形象,以及Ludwig Mies van der Rohe在《Alles Bauhaus?Ingolf Kern、Werner Möller和Kitty Kahane的《米娅与卢卡斯的幻想时代》(2019)。

The aim of the study is to clarify how a younger school-aged child perceives literary heroes who represent prosocial literary role models, and thus provide evidence for the positive trace of prosocial literary role models in the (prosocial) development of the child reader. The research was conducted on a sample of 24 participants (average age 9.04 years) using research methods such as product content analysis, projective interview and writing techniques. Empirical research gave a positive clue, which the specific literary text with the prosocial literary role model “printed” into the notion of prosociality in the child. The prosocial literary role model may perhaps therefore be used in education as an effective tool in the (prosocial) upbringing of the child of younger school age.

The aim of this paper is to reflect on some of the current trends in Portuguese illustration for children, focusing on an intertextual reading of the picturebooks written and illustrated by Manuela Bacelar, as a precursor in the creation of this kind of book in Portugal. Based on the discursive interdependence of text and illustrations, stylistic and technical-narrative procedures are observed, in necessary articulation with the visual/graphic and material/peritextual aspects. The potential of these aspects is highlighted in the composition of the work and in the construction of its multiple semiosis. The interdependence of text and illustrations poses specific requirements in the process of reading and has an impact on the formation of competent and autonomous readers. Relying on modern literary currents to be found in a postmodernist aesthetic, this paper examines the corpus, from both a technical and compositional point of view, seeking to investigate some of the traits and formal rhetorical, stylistic and thematic resources that distinguish the work of this awarded artist.

The paper offers a reading of Jason’s use of sparsity, seriousness, and reduction as a concealment of a technique that is based on multifaceted ambiguity involving the blending of genres, a playfully intertextual attitude, and surprising emotional depth of character and story. It discusses the connection between humour and visual, textual, and structural ambiguity in Jason’s works, as well as ambivalence in the reader’s response, illustrates Jason’s combination of incongruous genres and simultaneous employment of motifs from children’s literature and various genre movies (such as science fiction, crime thrillers, heist movies, and horrors), and explores Jason’s technique of subverting expectations of comic relief by withholding certain structural parts of a joke (typically a punchline) or inserting an unexpected element (such as psychological depth).

The artistic interpretation of the theme of social orphanhood in contemporary literature for children and young people is a reaction by writers to social phenomena affecting the child. In this article, I explore the artistic representation of social orphanhood in contemporary Ukrainian literature for children and young people. I note that the works of Ukrainian writers complement the tradition of depicting orphans in world literature. The paper goes on to analyse the plots of works about children who become social orphans as a result of the labour migration of parents, to define a range of issues raised within this topic considering the images of orphans, and to derive a typology based on an analysis of their behavioural patterns. The common and distinctive features of the poetics of works on orphaned childhood are noted, and images are presented of orphans in Ukrainian and world literature, taking into account the results of research by Melanie A. Kimball, Claudia Mills, and Dirk P. Mattson.

The article deals with the influence of state ideology on children, as carried out through state control/supervision of book publishing. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the peculiarities of creating (a new) social reality by means of children’s literature in the 1920s and 1930s in Ukraine. The research material is a selection of publications of the Ukrainian specialised publishing houses Ditvydav and Molodyi Bilshovyk. The results of the analysis show that 46% of the books in the corpus contain the following keywords: revolution, civil war, Pioneers, Little Octobrists, Soviet holidays, Lenin, Stalin, collective farms, collectivisation, industrialisation, metallurgy, factory, mines, and so forth, that is, they contain an emphasised ideological component. Soviet society’s rejection of the national tradition, even in the face of the policy of Ukrainianisation, is also confirmed. The dominance of Russia and its representatives in comparison with other republics in the USSR and the limitations of gender roles in the constructed worldview are also demonstrated.

U radu se istražuju osobitosti jezika i stila nedavno objavljenoga romana za mlade Između, koji obrađuje posebno tešku temu suicida, kako bi se utvrdilo kojim se jezično-stilskim sredstvima gradi svijet toga romana i kako se ostvaruje njegova komunikativnost s mladim čitateljem. Kao glavne stilske značajke pritom su izdvojene govornost/razgovornost i intertekstualnost/citatnost. Analiza je pokazala da se mladomu čitatelju roman približava u prvom redu unošenjem elemenata govornosti, primjetno na sintaktičkoj i leksičkoj razini, a u manjoj mjeri i na morfološkoj razini. Postupci ostvarivanja intertekstualnosti odražavaju se na fabulativno-kompozicijskoj razini i u karakterizaciji likova, a njima se prizivaju ne samo glazbeni, književni i filmski uzori s kojima se identificiraju mladi nego i književna baština koja uglavnom ostaje izvan njihova zanimanja. Njoj se pristupa afirmativno, kao dinamičnoj riznici ili otvorenomu kanonu, uspostavljanjem citatnoga dijaloga. Navedene i druge zapažene jezične i stilske značajke čine ovaj suvremeni problemski roman prikladnim štivom za mladu čitateljsku publiku kojoj je namijenjen.

This study analyses the representation of the loyalty of Javanese women in Indonesian folktales for children. We apply a textual analysis from the perspective of feminism and some elements of the literary sociology approach to the analysis of four Indonesian folktales. We conclude that in Indonesian folktales Javanese women are obliged to be loyal to rulers and institutions – which are functionally one and the same. Javanese women who display loyalty often earn symbolic and other benefits, while those who are disloyal or defiant meet a tragic end. The voices of women are not conveyed by the authors of the analysed texts. Therefore, Indonesian folktales impress upon young readers, particularly children, the notion that loyalty to the state and authorities is of paramount importance.
