Children's Poetry

Writing on children's literature, topics that are of interest to them are difficult to explore and the works that shape the aesthetic taste of children are hard to come by. Some of the keynote speakers have devoted their lives to the creation of this literature. One of the poets who wrote modern children's poetry is Zahid Khalil. He brings to life literature about topics that children try to learn, observations of life, and tries to create a series of original images. The article analyzes children's poems, which play an important role in Zahid Khalil's creativity, and explores their themes, ideas and significance for children.

To Come

In the conclusion of The Child to Come, the book asks, ‘What happens when the life figured by the child--innocent, self-similar human life at home on a homely Earth--no longer has the strength to hold back the vitality that animates it?’ This chapter looks at two kinds of texts that consider this question: Anthropocene cinema and Young Adult Fiction. By focusing on the role of human action, the Anthropocene obscures a far more threatening reality: the collapse of the regulative. In relation, both children’s literature and young adult literature grow out of and as disciplinary apparatuses trained on that fraught transit between the presumptive difference of those still in their minority and the socially necessary sameness that is inscribed into fully attained adulthood.

Abstract Beginning in the late nineteenth century, Hebrew underwent a process of revival. Despite the growing stratification of the language, literary translations into Hebrew were governed by a norm which dictated the use of an elevated style rooted in ancient Hebrew texts. This norm persisted at least until the 1960s. Motivated by the Hebrew tradition of employing the elevated style to produce the mock-epic, translators created mock-epic works independently of the source texts. This article describes the creation of the mock-epic in canonized and non canonized adult and children's literature, focusing on the Hebrew versions of Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews, Damon Runyon's Guys and Dolls, Peter O'Donnell's Modesty Blaise and A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.

This study summarizes the history of Slovenian poetry for children and its translation into Russian. The article reviews translated poems by Slovenian authors and Slovene folk poetry written for children from 1955 to the present. Translations of Slovenian children’s folk lore into Russian date back to 1971. They are mainly represented by folk songs and addressed to preschoolers translated into Russian by Leonid Yakhnin. Currently, Zhanna Perkovskaya is engaged in translations of Slovenian children’s literature into Russian. The largest number of publications of Slovenian poetry for children happened in the 1980s. After 1991, there was a long period of silence. However, in recent years, due to the interest of Russian publishers in Slovenian children’s literature successful at home, as well as a significant demand for books for preschoolers, the publication of children’s poetry by Slovenian authors has resumed.

The Aesthetic

To date, most studies of video games by children's literature scholars have been ‘child-oriented’ rather than ‘text-oriented’, focusing on the needs and capabilities of child-players rather than on the literary and artistic potential of the games themselves. This essay proposes that in-depth textual analyses of children's video games will not only illuminate the aesthetic value of specific texts, but also refashion and redirect scholarly debate about the medium itself. What is more, an open dialogue between games scholarship and children's literature scholarship is likely to yield the kind of rich, flexible and nuanced critical discourse necessary to navigate a rapidly evolving, increasingly diverse children's media ecology. Here the case is made for both a strong interdisciplinary alliance between children's literature scholarship and games scholarship, and for modelling a style of close reading that attends specifically to the visual, auditory, tactile and performative elements of children's video games. This method of close reading is called ‘critical ekphrasis’, where ‘ekphrasis’ denotes the careful and creative transcription of the supralinguistic, non-verbal signifiers of video games for the purpose of critical analysis. Critical ekphrasis is offered as a bridge between disciplines that enables children's literature scholars to bring their unique expertise to bear on the complex, varied and exciting body of texts that constitutes ‘children's video games’.

The data in this study were the multiculturalism values in children's poetry. The data were sourced from a poetries book by elementary school students. They were then analyzed using interactive analysis techniques (data reduction, data presentation, and verification). Main Findings: The findings showed that there are fourteen indicators of multiculturalism, among others, respect for cultural equality, social class, ethnicity, gender, language, religion, race, skin color, and pluralism, equality of rights, customs, behavior patterns, education equality and tolerance in the poetries book. Applications of this study: The results of this study can be useful for teachers and elementary school students in Indonesia in teaching poetry writing and inculcating the values of multiculturalism. Also, it can be beneficial for the lecturers and the university students of Elementary School Teacher Education in Indonesia in teaching children's literature with multiculturalism. Novelty/Originality: The novelty of this research/study is to explore a collection of children's poetry books written by elementary school students from the perspective of multiculturalism. The importance of early recognition of the value of multiculturalism in children is used to teach children to respect each other and live in harmony and free from the prejudices of religious discrimination, gender, race, culture, skin color, social class, educational equality, and student diversity.

It used to be taken for a given fact that children’s literature is written by adults for children. This assumption is contested by the emergence of “another children’s literature”, namely literature about, for, and by children. Facilitated by digital platforms, this alternative type of children’s literature is gathering momentum, compelling us to rethink the (im)possibilities of children’s creative agency. As research into children’s literature is largely premised upon the asymmetry between adult authorship and juvenile readership, we need to rethink some fundamental tenets of this academic field in order to come to terms with child authorship. This article reviews leading publications on the topic, to address the question of how we can best acknowledge, facilitate, and appreciate children’s creative agency as an indispensable dimension of their emergent citizenship. Methodological deliberations are illustrated with references to primary works by child authors about topical societal issues such as ethnic conflict, homelessness, and migration. Its aim is not so much to provide a complete survey of all available publications on the topic, but rather to stake out representative publications that exemplify more and less fruitful approaches to the problem at hand.

The development of science and technology and the rapid flow of globalization have indirectly resulted in the degradation of values and the erosion of national identity, especially among youth. Youth become "easy targets" for HOAKS, intolerance, radicalism, SARA issues, negative gangs, crime, terrorism, and other negative views that increasingly erode Pancasila values as part of the national identity. These negative ideas are internalized either through association, social media, negative doctrine, tantalizing offers, mounts of interests of a group, changes in material and educational orientation, and so on. In this regard, karawitan as a cultural product full of local wisdom can be an alternative means of strengthening national identity. This study tries to represent local wisdom in musikals through the Garuda Pancasila song as a material for introducing and practicing gamelan in RW.04 Tukangan youth. The Garuda Pancasila song was chosen as the material for the song because it is one of the national songs; familiar; contains the aesthetic taste of Pancasila, the spirit of nationality, values, the foundation of the state and national identity. The objectives to be achieved from this research are 1) the creation of the Garuda Pancasila song arrangement using the laras slendro gamelan with the creative pop genre, and 2) the training process in the field is expected to encourage the development of a sense of joy playing the gamelan; activated creativity, innovation and expression; the emergence of togetherness, kinship, tolerance, tolerance, empathy, listening to one another, and others, which can strengthen the identity of the nation which is beginning to be eroded.
