The Relationship

Who Needs Whom? The Relationship between Children and Adults in Vladislav Krapivin’s Complicated Worlds The article discusses how the structure of the worlds in Vladislav Krapivin’s children’s fantasy novels written in the 1980s and early 1990s is connected to the central theme of the works, the complicated relationship between children and adults. The novel Deti sinego amingo (1981) is based on a two-world structure that supports a description of a binary relationship: children are seen as essentially good and adults as their oppressors. Krapivin’s pentalogy V glubine Velikogo Kristalla (1988–91) is situated in a complex multiverse described as a crystal: every facet of the crystal is a complete world of its own. Likewise, the relationships between adult and child characters in the series are complicated. Children are often seen from the viewpoint of adult characters, and children and adults are presented as mutually dependent on each other. The article also investigates the audience of Krapivin’s novels. Despite their status as children’s literature, the texts address a dual audience consisting of both children and adults. The texts are seen in the context of Soviet perestroika literature. In the spirit of perestroika, also children’s authors were able to write about topics that were not accepted before and thus it was possible for Krapivin to discuss the problematic relations between children and adults.

In this article we will talk about the unusual topos that occurs in Victorian and Edwardian literature — the “revived” estate. Indirectly going back to Gothic literature and the “horror literature” that inherited it (where the house can come to life literally, become harmful, frightening and even mortally dangerous for the inhabitant), however, it develops in a completely different way. The ghosts that inhabit the rooms of such a mansion are the guardians of a good and bright memory, “hidden joy”; embodied by the past, who lives in a shaky, invisible world. These ghosts have many hypostases: sometimes they turn out to be just a figment of the tenant’s imagination, and sometimes they are a real poltergeist, but not frightening, but protecting and preserving (W. Woolf, “A Haunted House”). Another manifestation of this topos can be called a house that comes to life, when the hero distinguishes between the beating of his heart (as happens in the novel by E.M. Forster “Howards End”) or hears a whisper of voices in the curtains shaken by the wind. The combination of these two motives (poltergeist and living house) is also found in the works of modernists (W. Woolf, “Orlando: A Biography”). Of particular interest is the image of a revived estate house in children’s literature; in this vein, we will consider the novel by Ph. Pierce, “Tom’s Midnight Garden”.

The Witch

This poster will look at children’s literature that has been banned from schools due to themes of magic, witchcraft, or mysticism. We will be looking at four different popular children's novels, and dissecting the reasons behind their prohibition. These include: C. S. Lewis’ (1950) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which, although it has never been banned, has been challenged by numerous public schools, religious communities and public libraries, as its main character, the lion Aslan, can be interpreted as a Christ-like figure. The novel The Witches by Roald Dahl, another celebrated children’s author, has, however, been banned due to its glamourization of witchcraft, as well its misogynistic views. We draw on scholarship on magic and modernity (eg. Randall Styers 2004) to contextualize the fear over magic and mysticism in relation to “legitimate religion” and with respect to the supposed moral vulnerability of children.

The Relationship

The study of translation and censorship is of particular interest in the context of Russia and the Soviet Union. With the aim of stimulating further discussion, particularly in relation to recent developments in the sociology of translation, this article takes the example of L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz (1900) and its adaptation by Alexander Volkov as The Wizard of the Emerald City (Volshebnik izumrudnogo goroda) (1939) in order to explore the relationship between the multiple forces at work in the translation of children’s literature under conditions of censorship. By means of an analysis of the differences between the two texts I conclude that censorship is a complex phenomenon which provides fertile ground for the creative manipulation and appropriation of texts and can be considered as an active participant in the creation of an image of a foreign body of literature and its location in a particular literary field.

The Relationship

Philosophy in literature may also be found in children’s books, especially those concerning such serious subjects as death. The authors of these books often introduce the philosophy of life and the meaning of death by showing them through the prism of a meeting of a child and an elderly person. What results from these meetings and what other qualities, apart from the context of familiarizing with death, can be found in these literary meetings? The reference point in the paper is Andrzej Nowicki’s philosophy of a meeting, i.e. incontrology.
