The article is devoted to the discussion around the fairy tale, which found a place in the magazine «On the Way to a New School», the newspaper «Reader & Writer», its main provisions. In the 1920s pedagogues and children’s writers headed by Nadezhda Krupskaya revised old children’s literature and studied the theory of a new Soviet book for children, publishing articles and reviews. The connection between work in children’s literature and ideology, anti-religious propaganda is traced. Attention is drawn to the discussion of the category of the fantastic in a fairy tale among the authors of «On the Way to a New School», «Reader & Writer». Examples of new literature for children, its differences and similarities with the previous one are given. Andrei Platonov could also have known about the discussion around the genre of a fairy tale in 1926–1927 after moving to Moscow, as indicated by the epistolary, biographical facts and works of art, in particular the story «The Ethereal Path», the poem «About Electricity». The episodes from the novel «Chevengur» are considered in the context of this discussion.

The reason for division's poor reputation in children's literature may be that students' problems with division extend beyond their difficulties in recalling the basic facts and the rather complex standard algorithm.

Academic Study

The absence of children’s texts and ludic texts from traditional literary canons, curricula, journals, and conferences might appear obvious, practical, and natural—a straightforward reflection of theoretical and methodological divergence, and of the way texts are grouped outside of academic study. However, these seemingly self-evident explanations do not hold up under scrutiny. In this article, I posit that the omission of children’s texts and ludic texts from well-developed scholarly contexts is partly rooted in the ideological collocation of “children,” “play,” and “low culture.” I compare the strategies used by children’s literature studies and games studies to manage their marginalization and conclude that irrespective of the quality, the variety, the relevance, and the impact of research conducted within these two disciplines, neither will find a permanent home in the serious, sophisticated, “adults-only” space of the literature faculty. I ask whether this is necessarily a problem, and suggest that - when consciously embraced - the lightness of illegitimacy may be a potent as the heft of tradition. Finally, I advocate for an intersectional alliance between children's literature studies and games studies and explore some of the ways in which this kind of academic solidarity might counter the marginalizing effects of infantilization.

Gideon Narrative

Chapter 4 explores the first battle scene in the Gideon narrative. First, the chapter examines how the story of the battle against the Midianites in Judg 7:16–22 is used in contemporary Christian children’s literature to show how Gideon is a model warrior because he trusted God. Next, the chapter turns to Judg 7:16–22, uncovering how these verses might contain some of the earliest materials about Gideon the “mighty warrior,” though they are now overlaid with a later theological retelling of the battle. Last, the chapter returns to the way that Gideon is rewritten as a model man who now acts according to the prevailing ideals for masculinity in some forms of present-day Christianity.

<p><em>This article focuses on the theory of German philosopher and literature critic Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) on the role of children</em><em>’</em><em>s literature and the degree by which his aesthetical theory, as expressed in the early 20th century, may be applied in modern education. Particularly in preschool ages, children’s literature plays a defining role in children</em><em>’</em><em>s development, stimulating learning memory and providing the foundations for the child</em><em>’</em><em>s perception of the world around him/her. Children</em><em>’</em><em>s literature and illustrations of children’s books, introduce children in learning and writing. In his theory, Benjamin describes how literature, and in particular the magic perceived by children’s mentality in fairytale, can and should be an integral part of education that does not apply standardized pedagogic norms or psychological interpretations, but promotes the way in which the child observes the world, imagination and intuitive perception.</em></p>

<p>This study examines the effects of translation shifts on the level of readability in translating children’s literature. It conducts this study on three Persian translations of “<em>Alice’s Adventures in the Wonderland</em>” to rank Catford’s shifts based on their effects on the readability of translation. To do that, in this study, the typology of Catford’s shifts will be extended, and the way to measure text readability will be modulated to include the effects of these shifts on the translation readability.</p><p>Thus, Ranking 14 types of shifts, the study reveals that complex shifts (represented as clauses and groups in the texts) are more effective than simple shifts (which are symbolized as single word -nouns and adjective, determiners- in the text) on the readability of translations. This means the complex shifts are more recognizable for children. Of course, verbs, although are mostly the representatives of simple shifts, are very effective on readability of text. Since, they, along with clause and group segments, are will recognizable for them. Therefore children cannot determine the place of single words in the text, but are expert in realizing word clusters in form of clauses and groups.</p>

Denne artikkelen analyserer Erlend Loe og Alice Bjerknes Lima de Farias bildebok Rumpemelk fra Afrika (2012). Her foretar vi en tematisk analyse av det imaginære Afrika som presenteres gjennom hovedpersonens Afrika-reise. Reisen er en jakt etter det som blir betegnet som «rumpemelk». Bildeboka er postmoderne og plasserer seg i en tradisjon etter fabelen, der fantasi, lek og besjelte dyr er sentrale element, men parodi og intertekstualitet spiller også en sentral rolle i hvordan det imaginære Afrika gestaltes. Målet med artikkelen er å foreta en tematisk lesning som undersøker hvordan bildebokas intertekstuelle og parodiske dialog med tidligere Afrika-forestillinger i barnelitteraturen danner grunnlaget for det imaginære Afrika som presenteres i denne spesifikke boka. This article on Erlend Loe og Alice Bjerknes Lima de Faria’s picture book Rumpemelk fra Afrika (2012) is a thematic analysis of the imaginary Africa which is portrayed through the protagonist’s journey to Africa in search of what is termed “milk from the bum.” The picture book is a postmodern picture book, and can be placed in the tradition of the fable, where play and fantasy and animated animals are central ingredients, but parody and intertextuality also play a central role in how the imaginary Africa is rendered. This article’s intention is to analyse the way in which this picture book forms an intertextual and parodic dialogue with previous myths and pretexts of the tales of Africa in children’s literature in the creation of the specific imaginary Africa of this book.

Realistic children’s literature published in Latin America in the last thirty years allows us to see how the author transfers sensitive and complex information to the young reader. This article aims to present some of the reasons of this issue and the way the author approaches a potential reader. The first two parts provide general information about current children’s literature and the last one introduces some specific examples related to this topic in Colombian books published in the 21st century
