The ignorance of many Canadians regarding residential schools and their traumatic legacy is emphasised in the reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as a foundational obstacle to achieving reconciliation. Many of the TRC's calls to action involve education that dispels and corrects this ignorance, and the commission demands ‘age-appropriate curriculum on residential schools, Treaties, and Aboriginal peoples' historical and contemporary contributions to Canada’ to be made ‘a mandatory education requirement for Kindergarten to Grade Twelve students’ (Calls to Action 62.i). How to incorporate the history of residential schools in kindergarten and early elementary curricula has been much discussed, and one tool gaining traction is Indigenous-authored picturebooks about Canadian residential schools. This article conducts a close reading of Margaret Pokiak-Fenton and Christy Jordan-Fenton's picturebook When I Was Eight (2013). The picturebook gathers Indigenous and settler children together to contest master settler narratives regarding the history of residential schools. Using Gerald Vizenor's concept of ‘survivance’ and Dominick LaCapra's notion of ‘empathic unsettlement’, the article argues that picturebooks work to unsettle young readers empathetically as part of restorying settler myths about residential schools and implicating young readers in the work of reconciliation.

Enmarcado en el proyecto de investigación y creación Ocho puntos suspensivos, colección de narraciones visuales para el aprendizaje sensorial, perceptivo y simbólico en niños de 2 a 14 años, se presentará el análisis de un poco más de ochenta libros entre infantiles y juveniles tomados de la sala infantil del Centro Cultural Comfandi, Cali (Colombia). Se revisó la colección abierta de literatura infantil y juvenil, libros informativos y revistas para niños, organizado en cuatro secciones diferenciadas, según el nivel de los lectores, y clasificadas por rangos de edades y competencias lectoras: arrullos, primeros lectores, lectores en marcha y lectores autónomos. Con base en estas secciones, se consideraron cuatro dimensiones analíticas: contenido narrativo, contenido icónico, elementos materiales del formato y contenido educativo. Las dimensiones mencionadas se establecieron mediante una caracterización de los sujetos (niños y jóvenes) y los objetos (libros), y bajo criterios conceptuales respecto al conocer, el aprender a ser y el aprender a saber, en niños y jóvenes de 2 a 14 años (con base en sus niveles de competencias representativas, comunicativas e interpretativas). Aunque se revisaron más de 80 obras entre libros ilustrados, libros álbum y cómics, desde sus aspectos formales, temáticos, de producción y carácter pedagógico, el resultado no puede considerarse rigurosamente representativo, sino una valoración parcial pero argumentada, según criterios propios del diseño gráfico.

The One

Dramatic and theatrical performances have a long history of being used as tools to enhance development in children and youth. In pre-colonial times there were some forms of drama and theatre used by different communities in the socialisation of children. It is in the same vein that this article, through the Intwasa koBulawayo performances, seeks to evaluate how drama and theatre are used to nurture children and youth into different developmental facets of their lives. The only difference which this article will take into cognisance is that the performances are done in a different environment, which is not the one used in the pre-colonial times. Although these performances were like this, the most important factor is the idea that children and youth are socialised through these performances. It is also against this backdrop that children and youth are growing up in a globalised environment, hence the performances should accommodate people from all walks of life and teach them relevant issues pertaining to life as they live it now. Thus the main task of the article is to spell out the role of drama and theatre in the nurturing of children and youth through socio economic and political development in Intwasa koBulawayo festivals.

This chapter explores a more concrete and historicized figure of the woman reader. It explores the forces that make her appear and disappear, and surveys the state of knowledge on medieval female literacy, and the documentary evidence on women readers. It investigates typically female modes of reading (such as the educational, the devotional, and the courtly) and the visual models that were available to vernacular authors to forge their imagined textual interlocutor. It shows how the protagonist of this book is the product of two cultural events within the history of reading and the material culture of the book: the raise of literacy among the laity and women in the years under consideration, and a changed scenario insofar as theories and practices of reading are concerned.

This chapter on the history of book publishing in Australia divides Australian novel publishing since 1950 into three periods: the 1950s and 1960s, the 1970s and 1980s, and the 1990s to the present. During the 1950s and 1960s, British companies dominated the publication of Australian novels and publishing decisions were predominantly made overseas, but the period also witnessed a ‘local publishing boom’, driven by the belief in the importance of Australian literature and publishing. The 1970s and 1980s saw the growth of a vibrant local publishing industry, supported by cultural nationalist policies and broad social changes. At the same time, the significant economic and logistical challenges of local publishing led to closures and mergers, and — along with the increasing globalization of publishing — enabled the entry of large, multinational corporations into the market. This latter trend, and the processes of globalization and deregulation, continued in the 1990s and beyond.
