Full textAbstract:
Mefkure Mollova, known as a scholar in Turkology, was the first poetess to publish poems in the periodic print in Turkish language in Bulgaria and the only woman who was fortunate to issue a solo poetic collection (1964). She emerges as the most sensitive of the time, whose work boldly touches on the intimate corners of the Turk's mentality and emotionality, to questions and problems close to all women. The sophistication of her work excites young women and crumbles the walls of the traditional taboo. Her contemporaries are delighted with the talent of the beautiful poetess and the "freedom" of her speech, she is perceived as the Turkish Bagryana, almost all young Turkish intelligents were in love with her. Suffocated by the repression of the socialist dictatorship, she was forced to give up poetry. Her work is not known outside the circles of the Turkish readership of the 1950s and 1960s, and like most Turks-poets she remains unknown to the Bulgarian readership. The article also presents the first translations of her poems in Bulgarian.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyses Spanish poetry picturebooks for children and young adult readers based on adult poetry. It argues that the main changes that occur in the adaptation process involve the paratexts and literary communication, while the pictures play a prominent role in the creation of the new implied reader. The illustrations transform the original poems in many ways: they can describe, represent the poetic voice, add a story, introduce visual imagery or guide interpretation among other things. Finally, the article examines the pedagogical implications of these picturebooks and argues that they are a good resource for literary education, as they make great literature more attractive and accessible for children and young adults.

DIMOVA, Irena. "Childhood memory as “Natural memory” in poems by the Slovak author Ján Stacho." Problems of slavonic studies 70 (2021): 181–89. http://dx.doi.org/10.30970/sls.2021.70.3746.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Ján Stacho is an eminent Slovak author (1936–1995) who first has published in 1959. Two years later he became member of the so-called Trnava group, made up of him, Ján Ondruš, Jozef Mihalkovič and Ľubomír Feldek. The group’s poet-ics and aesthetics can be found in their manifestos – “There will be a talk about chil-dren's poetry”, “There will be a talk about translation” and “There will be a talk about poetry”, the last of which is lost. Ján Ondruš’s debut book “Wedding Journey“ was first published in 1961. His poems and one of the group’s literary manifestos are the subject of the present study. Purpose: The article examines the idea of childhood memory as “natural memory”. The concept is found in the poetry of Ján Ondruš, who is part of the Slovak poetry Trnava group. His poems serve the purpose of the article – to look at the realizations of the concretists’ theoretical views in the poems of the author mentioned above. Results: The article outlines the concept of memory, which we find in the aesthetic platform of the Slovak Trnava group, specifically in their manifesto “There will be a talk about children's literature.” In this text, the authors plead for writing poetry that is not “sucked from the finger” but is “squeezed” from memory. We deduce the “uses” of memory from the texts of one of the Trnava groups’ representatives, Ján Stacho. The subject of our research is his debut poetry collection from 1961, “Wedding Journey.” In his poems, we connect memory – as childhood and natural – with the metaphor of “salt-ing the senses” and the naive, unencumbered “sensing” the world to grasp the latter. We also include an intertextual reference to the text "Memory" of another poet from the Trnava group Ján Ondruš, which representatives refer to as one of their program’s works.

Young scholars from Moscow (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian State University for the Humanities, A.N. Kosygin Russian State University, Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences), Kaliningrad (Immanuel Kant IKBFU), St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg State University, Russian National Library) and Nizhny Novgorod (N. I. Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University) and from Poland (Bialystok State University) attended the conference. During the first session, Slavic literature was examined from the point of view of poetics and intertextual connections based on the material of Slovenian (short prose of I. Cankar), Czech (drama by V. Havel), Polish (poetry of A. Mickiewicz), as well as Serbo-Croatian (the anthem of the former Yugoslavia) literature; the second meeting combined reports with literary and philosophical issues, examining Polish (J. Iwaszkiewicz, Ch. Milosz), Czech (R. Maly), Bulgarian (V. Paskov) and Macedonian (M. Andreevsky) literature; the focus of the third session was the types of Russian-Slavic literary connections using Russian-Czech examples (correspondence be-tween A.N. Pypin and E. Krasnogorskaya, comparison of the activities of F.L. Chelakovsky and A.S. Pushkin, Russian echoes of the drama R.U.R. by K. Capek), as well as Russian-Balkan materials (translations of J. Dučić’s poetry, echoes of the Balkan vampire theme in Russia in the XIXth century); the fourth meeting was dedicated to the problems of studying modern Slavic literatures, the participants turned to Czech (M. Urban, S. Beeler), Slovak (P. Vilikovsky) and Bulgarian (T. Dimova) literatures. The subsections were moderated by employees of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, specialists in Slavic literatures. Meeting participants and moderators actively engaged in scientific dialogue, identified problematic issues, and outlined further prospects for research. In addition to the speakers who took part in the conference every year, new participants joined the conference this year, which indicates the relevance of this regularly held scientific event.

Full textAbstract:
In Mémorial poétique, Lubomir Guentchev, a French-speaking Bulgarian author, states that “poetry [...] has experienced much more pain than joy” (our translation). Pain could be said to be the main source of his inspiration. This collection has as dedication "In memory of V.", Valentina Dimitrova Guitcheva, a young woman with whom he was allegedly deeply in love and who had disappeared in 1946. This grief was overwhelming. In 1975, at the end of Mémorial poétique, Eucharistia, a prose poem, recalls the memory. A bond of sacred communion existed between Valentina's memory and the author's "inner self". He was convinced of that. He transposes this suffering into Mémorial poétique, turning it into art. How does he do that? How does he transform this pain? What literary models is he inspired by? What aesthetic research does he also engage in?

Hong, Huili. "Writing as defamiliarization processes: An alternative approach to understanding aesthetic experience in young children’s poetry writing." Journal of Early Childhood Literacy 19, no. 2 (June 9, 2017): 175–205. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1468798417712338.
Full textAbstract:
This article provides a unique lens for understanding young children’s poetry writing. It focuses on defamiliarization as a cultural tool and practice to engage students’ imagination, playfulness, creativity and aesthetic experience into their poetry writing and to experience the world differently and aesthetically. The research aims of this article are (a) to examine how familiar things were defamiliarized in children’s poetry writing process and poems and (b) to explore what and how aesthetic experiences could result from the defamiliarization process. More specifically, three key literacy events were selected from different writing units during one academic year. Ethnographic discourse analysis was adopted to examine the teacher–student interactive conversations in poetry writing when they defamiliarized their familiar things, places and situation. The data analysis showed that the defamiliarization process made an important contribution to the young writers’ development of language, literacy and their sense of self as a writer. The results exemplified defamiliarization processes as a way to promote the teaching and learning of writing for aesthetic experience beyond linguistic text production. Furthermore, the article provides critical indicators that link children’s writing and multilayered aesthetic experience, and it highlights the critical role of an adult/teacher in channelling children’s affinity with play, imagination, creativity and aesthetic experience into their poetry writing.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the efforts of notable authors from the poetry slam community who have published Young Adult works intended for the classroom. Numerous secondary educators have embraced spoken word poetry as an engaging art form for teenagers yet often express difficulty in finding age‐appropriate material to share in school settings. This literature review hopes to serve as an introductory reference for secondary educators and researchers, and differs from slam‐themed reviews in that it specifically highlights artists from the slam circuit who have transitioned into YA publishing. Since the featured authors hail from backgrounds in theatre and performance, the works discussed often incorporate characteristics of oral verse that seemingly transcend the print medium. Also examined is the inherent barrier between oppositional, profane narratives embraced by youth, and the expectations of educational institutions who use censorship to sterilize places of learning. Written by an educator and academic who has been a part of the slam community for over a decade, this article offers an insider’s perspective for secondary educators, researchers, and fans of spoken word poetry who wish to know more about integrating the works of prominent ‘slammers’ into their classroom curricula.

Full textAbstract:
A survey of 240 Bulgarian citizens from the Danube region, the Republic of Bulgaria, was conducted to examine their awareness and readiness for protection and proper behavior in floods. The participants in the study were divided into two age groups: young people aged 18 to 39 years and mature from 40 to 64 years. The percentage of respondents who have experienced a flood in the past is high (24%). The two analyzed groups are well informed about the risks and disasters causing epidemics (34% young group and 45% adult group). The groups are well informed about the potential threat of floods in the settlement (45% young group and 25% mature group). We give high marks to the two studied groups for the fact that they have preliminary insurance of the home, property, have a backpack prepared for evacuation, know how to swim and maintain their systematic skills (84%). All this will help in a real situation to save their lives.

Full textAbstract:
Since the Korean Society for Teaching English Literature (KSTEL) was founded in 1992, it has grown into an academic organization representing English literature-related research and education in Korea through various active academic activities, including biannual academic conferences and the publication of the Journal of Teaching English Literature (JTEL) three times a year. JTEL is a vital source of information on children’s and young adult literature and literature education by featuring analyses of poetry, fiction, drama, film, and non-fictional materials and providing ideas for teaching children’s and young adult literature in the classroom.
To celebrate KSTEL’s 30th anniversary, this paper reviews and draws the trajectory of the kinds of writers, literary works, and research topics that scholars have been interested in. In this paper, I comprehensively examine and analyze the changes in goals, methodology, topics, themes, perspectives, and contents of research papers related to children’s and young adult literature criticism and literature education over the past three decades. I also make some suggestions regarding the journal’s direction for the future based on personal opinions and beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
The book is a collection of Elena Pestereva’s philological and critical articles, overviews, reviews, and essays. Equally good are ‘one-off pieces’ and continued articles devoted to the recurrent and highly appreciated characters of Tsvetkov, Yuriev, and Gandlevsky. The book contains over fifty articles, grouped into three sections. The section entitled ‘Context’ features chapters on festivals and poetry, literary awards and poetry, and specific cases of visual arts and poetry. The section ‘Text’ discusses the poets from the Moscow Time [Moskovskoe vremya] circle and the Lwów school of poetry, as well as prose writers, critics and their books. ‘Intertext’ contains reviews of new books, originally for the ‘Bookcase’ column of the Novaya Yunost journal. E. Pestereva possesses a refined literary taste, which inspires confidence in the readers of various media (thick literary journals, young adult magazines or glossies). And, even more importantly for a critic who substantiates her personal preferences with a scholarly argument, she is familiar with modern psychological methods.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we use what we are dubbing “Conversation through Poem” to explore the lived experiences of a father and his daughter, a young adult who has read many of the books that are frequently labeled controversial and banned in schools and libraries. We wrote a series of poems to reflect on how and to what degree reading controversial books has had positive or negative effects. With Parsons’ Reproduction Theory (1959) as a framework, our discussion and reflection through poetry suggests that rather than indoctrinating young people, reading “controversial” books leads to an understanding an openness, as well as showing the need for the voice of young adults in the very conversations surrounding banned books.

Full textAbstract:
When a girl grows up with an authoritarian parent, the trauma causes her to develop narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) in her young adult years, disrupting her ability to form healthy relationships with her mother, friends, and especially herself. To escape any emotional discomfort, she turns to non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a coping mechanism. This narrative poetry explores the progression of Renee's life from childhood to her struggle with NPD in young adulthood. It highlights how dangerous NPD is when Renee resorts to NSSI to deal with the negative reactions from others. This creative work underscores the seriousness of NPD since it may lead to a harmful coping mechanism called NSSI.

Full textAbstract:
Each region and tribe has its own traditions, just as in Aceh, there is a custom for people to put their children to sleep by singing Dodaidi poetry. In various literatures, it is explained that the custom of the people of Aceh to sing Dodaidi poetry is a legacy from their ancestors, which aims to teach Islamic religious values. In Muslim society it is believed that young children have good hearing and memory abilities, so various occasions, including when they sleep, are an opportunity to teach religious values. Based on this background, this research was conducted to analyze the values and messages contained in Dodaidi's poetry as a bedtime for children. To answer this goal, a scientific method was established in the form of a qualitative approach using a literature review research method. The object of this research is the Dodaidi poetry of the people of Aceh, Indonesia. The results of the study reveal that Islamic religious values are the main feature in Dodaidi's poetry, it contains deep messages for the life of the child as an adult, for example growing into a healthy and strong child so that he can defend his religion and country.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the work of a group of child rights activists including children, young people and a supporting adult, who creatively convey their thoughts and feelings about the most pressing contemporary issues in the field of children’s rights and explore implications for intergenerational co-authorship in the child rights space. The children and young people decided to use poetry as a form of communication to express themselves about the challenges and aspirations of being child rights activists in an era of polycrisis, and they then worked together to analyse the poems, identifying cross-cutting themes around mental health, navigating power relationships and demands for a more inclusive, equitable future. The text of the article contains links to online video recordings of the authors performing their poetry, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a multi-sensory experience of child-led, child rights scholarship. Accordingly, the article presents an exploration of imaginative, interactive and intergenerational scholarship on children’s rights and suggests that co-creation with children may provide a way of upholding children’s rights while making space for new epistemologies that challenge Eurocentric, adultist norms of knowledge production in the child rights space. Keywords: child rights; child participation; arts-based methods.

The European report "Bulgaria - Health Profile for the Country 2017" reflects statistics on the obesity and immobilization of young people in the country. Although adult obesity levels are below the EU average, they have increased by 25% since 2008, with statistics showing that among young people they have risen by two-thirds in the 2005-2006 and 2013- 2014 and have reached 20%. Also, more than half of Bulgarian pupils in 1-12 grades (51%) are extremely immobilized, one of the reasons being rare visits to physical education classes and lack of interest in additional sport outside compulsory schooling. Separately, every third grader in Bulgaria has a problem with extra pounds, although in most cases it is the parents who refuse to accept that their child needs change and help, not to mention a strict diet and encouragement to exercise sports. More than 50% of the children who crossed the classrooms for the first time this year in Bulgaria are already having vertebral distortion. Only 3% of Bulgarian teenagers say they sometimes go to the gym because they want to look good and build up muscle mass.However, a positive aspect is that a higher percentage of girls and boys at 15 years of age in Bulgaria report regular physical activity than in other EU countries, although less than 25% report moderate exercise intensive physical activity on a daily basis.This study aims to analyze, on the basis of an authoritative survey, the opinions and the vision of active training parents as to whether their children should be attending fitness training. The survey was conducted within 2 months through an online survey of 21 questions, with a total of 187 active sporting parents.

The European report "Bulgaria - Health Profile for the Country 2017" reflects statistics on the obesity and immobilization of young people in the country. Although adult obesity levels are below the EU average, they have increased by 25% since 2008, with statistics showing that among young people they have risen by two-thirds in the 2005-2006 and 2013- 2014 and have reached 20%. Also, more than half of Bulgarian pupils in 1-12 grades (51%) are extremely immobilized, one of the reasons being rare visits to physical education classes and lack of interest in additional sport outside compulsory schooling. Separately, every third grader in Bulgaria has a problem with extra pounds, although in most cases it is the parents who refuse to accept that their child needs change and help, not to mention a strict diet and encouragement to exercise sports. More than 50% of the children who crossed the classrooms for the first time this year in Bulgaria are already having vertebral distortion. Only 3% of Bulgarian teenagers say they sometimes go to the gym because they want to look good and build up muscle mass.However, a positive aspect is that a higher percentage of girls and boys at 15 years of age in Bulgaria report regular physical activity than in other EU countries, although less than 25% report moderate exercise intensive physical activity on a daily basis.This study aims to analyze, on the basis of an authoritative survey, the opinions and the vision of active training parents as to whether their children should be attending fitness training. The survey was conducted within 2 months through an online survey of 21 questions, with a total of 187 active sporting parents. Questions concern both the sporting aspects, the healthy diet and the overall condition of the child, through the eyes of his/her parents.

Full textAbstract:
This essay considers a selection of poetry by, for, and about children in order to explore representations of time and agency. Reading poems across contexts of writers’ age-related social positions and audiences can illuminate poets’ strategies for representing children’s agency in and over time, since representations of time are infused with adult-child power relations. Only poems written by young people conveyed a conception of temporal agency that encompassed characters’ experiences of time as children. The essay concludes by proposing a notion of children’s temporal standpoints that incorporates agency at the levels of action and social role.

Full textAbstract:
The article tackles the issue of the language of fear exploited in children’s literature, taking Ted Hughes’s Nature poems for young readers as the object of analysis. It presents a perspective of linguistic stylistics and literary semantics and as such is not meant to be a critical literary evaluation of Hughes’s poetry. Rather, it focuses on linguistic instruments of creating the aura of fear in children’s poetry and their cognitive import. The author has chosen a neuroscientific paradigm for the two closely related emotions – fear and anxiety – as propagated by American researcher Joseph LeDoux, most prominently in his work “Anxious” (2015). LeDoux maintains that the feeling of fear is not inborn but rather a cognitive construct emergent from the use of one’s native language practiced within a particular socio-cultural context. The unique atmosphere of Hughes’s poetry has been achieved by a rich lexicon of fear-related notions and a skillfully applied figuration (anthropomorphisms, similes). His poetic imagery powerfully complements the vocabulary and troping in calling to life fictional worlds, often uncanny and menacing, remote from the young readers’ experience. The author of this article perceives in the lexicon, figuration and multimodal imagery (both verbal and visual, the latter realized as illustrations in picture-books) an important didactic device that teaches children how to manage fearsome experiences. This capability will also prepare children to face anxiety, an emotion typical of adult life and related mostly to existential problems.

The article covers the main features of Andrei Hadanovich’s works as s a representative of the modern literary process in Belarus and his liaison with Ukrainian writers and translators. Considerable attention is paid to the first literary attempts of the Belarusian writer, the process of professional development and the features of postmodernism in his writings. In this context the poetry of Andrei Khadanovich combines the achievements of Eastern European «book» poetry with elements of modern culture (pop, rock, rap, urban slang). Using his poetry-song «Hotel Belarus» as example, the research depicts «classical» postmodernism features in Andrei Hadanovich’s works – intermediality, intertextuality, irony, play, numerous allusions, parodies, experiments with form and genre. The paper also describes the main directions of the Belarusian writer’s literary work in Ukraine, his role and place in the development and popularization of modern Ukrainian literature and culture among Belarusian readers. The creative cooperation between Andrei Hadanovich, Serhiy Zhadan, Oleksandr Irvanets and Yurii Andrukhovych is characterized on the basis of their poetry books and collaborations. In particular, review of Khadanovich’s works includes several books of poems – his very first edition of «Letters from the Blankets» in Ukrainian, «From Belarus with Love», also published in Ukraine but in Belarusian, twin books «Belarusian Man» and «Ukrainian Airlines», created in the close collaboration with Serhiy Zhadan and other young artists and translators. In addition to creating some «adult» poetry, the writer from Belarus is shown as children’s author. His book of funny lyrics for children “Daddy’s Notes” was also first published in Ukraine in Ukrainian translation.

Full textAbstract:
Unpacking the term saudades, this article weaves together Claude Lévi-Strauss's research in Brazil for Tristes Tropiques with both Oswald de Andrade's 1928 Manifesto Anthropofago, and Rose and Bob Brown's visual poetry, travel guides, cookbooks, and young adult history books about Brazil. One can consider these projects as decolonial theory, poetry, and sociopoetics seventy or eighty years before decolonial theory became a widely discussed term. Augusto de Campos of the Noigandres group and a leader of the International Concrete Poetry movement wrote introductions to facsimile editions of both Oswald de Andrade's manifesto and then later to Bob Brown's republished collection of visual poems, 1450-1950. Although almost completely unknown now, Rose herself authored three children’s books, Two Children of Brazil, Two Children and their Jungle Zoo, and Amazon Adventures of Two Children, one social geography, Land and People of Brazil, and one biographical history, American Emperor: Dom Pedro II of Brazil, all while living in Brazil. Rose and Bob together edited the Brazilian American business weekly in the early and mid-1920s. All of these people may have known each other in Brazil as they worked and lived among overlapping circles of friends and colleagues involved in the modernist avant-garde, but as-of-yet, whether they met or not remains a mystery.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives To conduct a systematic review of arts-based interventions promoting transition from paediatric to adult services for young people (Note: The term young people refers to adolescents and young adults.) with long-term conditions and to explore their effectiveness. Interventions Arts-based interventions included studies of young people who were actively participating in the intervention rather than passive observers. Visual arts interventions included film/video production, time-based media, photography, animation, sculpture, audio, installation, sound recordings, painting, textiles, print, mixed media, multimedia. Arts-based interventions included creative writing, poetry, dance, choreography and storytelling. Main outcome measures We included all outcome measures relevant to transition and any chronic condition. These included: self-care knowledge and skills, autonomy, continuity of care, adherence to treatment and attendance at appointments. Results Seven studies reported arts-based interventions promoting outcomes that are relevant to transition. These studies showed that arts-based interventions may influence young people with long-term conditions self-esteem, confidence and self-expression. The findings must be treated with caution as the evidence was weak with studies using qualitative measures and of poor methodological quality. Conclusions There is a need for further research of arts-based interventions for children and adolescents with long-term conditions that incorporate objective measurements or validated tools to assess outcomes relevant to the transition process.

In this article, author Anna Travagliati explores her creative collaborations with artist Serena Della Bona and translator and editor Bristin Scalzo Jones, in the form of summaries of two projects: Presagi | Omens: A Collection of Illustrated Poetry in Italian and in English (2021), whose English translation was carried out by Jones, and their latest project, the picture book La Cavaliera e la Notturna | The Knightess and the Nocturne, an original story which reinterprets the familiar fairy tale Sleeping Beauty. A large part of the article consists of interviews conducted by the author with Serena Della Bona and Bristin Scalzo Jones, who detail their respective backgrounds, interests, professional practices and their views on collaboration and on creating picture books for a young adult and adult readership. These interviews centre feminist collaboration in both content and form, in so far as they allow this article to push back against masculine individualistic conceptions of authorship by providing a polyphony of female voices, spoken in their own words. The article is accompanied by two appendices which provide examples from both Omens and The Knightess and the Nocturne.

Full textAbstract:
The author presents Marina Tsvetaeva’s musical and synaesthetic space on the basis of My Mother and Music, her autobiographical essay. Synaesthesia, although present in the life of Tsvetaeva as a young child and adult poet, is not especially depict-ed in this particular piece of work. The writer chose her memories which encompass a significant period of time from her birth to her 42nd birthday as her main narrative focus. The musical sphere of the young child was presented through the piano and its attributes (the keyboard, pedals, music stand, metronome, notes, piano stool), which were a source of various – both positive and negative – experiences for this sensitive girl. Marina Tsvetaeva’s mother, unfulfilled as a pianist, undoubtedly played a toxic role in her musical education. Maria Tsvetaeva “drowned and killed her daughters with music”, making them feel an organic resistance towards required physical and mental efforts far too great for their age. The situation changed after her mother’s death when Marina could pour all her love for music into incredibly original lyric poetry, becoming one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of translation Garcia Lorca’s verses from the series “Canciones para niños”. The author suggests to give up on understanding the work of the Spanish poet as tragic and pay attention on the phenomenon of “bright joy” in his works. The world of childhood is a core uniting many poems. “Canciones para niños” is distinguished by duality both at the level of structure and content, which is achieved by combining folklore motifs from the childhood with the adult symbolism of traditional images for Garcia Lorca. It should be noted that the "cold" color scheme, metal, monochrome are dominant: in this way the poet creates the mirror effect between the world of childhood and the world of adulthood. Light, weightless tunes are intended for children, and the cold world behind the looking glass is made for adults, for the “generation of 27” with whom Garcia Lorca determined the creative trajectories of the new era. А translator faces a difficult task: to convey the ambivalence of images, preserving the simplicity and playful laconicism of the form for young readers, revealing the deep tragedy of the disappointments of growing up for their parents.

Abstract In this essay I discuss artworks by a sample of young people with a Muslim background who participated in the Numur—Islam and I exhibition, which was organised as part of the Young Muslims and Resilience (2016-2018) research project. Art exhibitions were staged in November 2017 and March 2018 with eighteen young adult participants/co-researchers. Their artworks included video and textile installations, photo collages, paintings, calligraphy and poetry, dealing with issues such as faith, dialogues between religious communities, gender, belonging and sexual diversity. Here I concentrate on some works by the participants who stated that they leaned on Sufism or spirituality in their working processes, or whose works expressed qualities that may be reflected through the spectrum in which rhizomes of Sufi ways of understanding human existence in the world are present. In their artworks, the participants created fresh ideas about possible encounters, which I interpret as being linked to modern and postmodern ideas of relationships between spaces and “becoming communities.” Likewise, these ideas can be traced to our common philosophical heritage, which is partly based on spiritual mystic thought and practices of different religions. By using art, the participants could embody this legacy, create spaces for themselves and open landscapes for discussions between Muslim believers and people with different religions and worldviews.

ABSTRACT Mary F. Lenox, born 1944, is a notable scholar, library school leader, Kellogg National Fellow 1982, school librarian in Chicago (MLS Rosary College), and ardent poet. Best known as the first Black dean at the University of Missouri, Dr. Lenox has many accomplishments before, within, and after that post meriting parallel recognition. She is a role model for Black students and faculty across the campus, and for her compeers nationwide – colleagues in ALA’s then-Young Adult Services Division and readers of her poetry in two books (2015, 2019), spoken at TEDx San Diego, or on the airwaves anew after the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. In our study of Dr. Lenox’s LIS educator career we draw together her leadership of the school librarianship study program and grants, her successful organizing against proposed budget cuts and selection as dean, and her scholarship on libraries in African American life, youth services, and cooperative multimedia-collection building.

Литература для детей – целый пласт коми литературы, который на сегодняшний день является мало изученным. Существуют критические статьи, в которых раскрывается тематическое и образное своеобразие поэтических произведений для детей, но нет отдельных работ, в которых стихотворения коми поэтов рассматривались бы с точки зрения их субъектной организации. Научная новизна данного исследования заключается в подходе к анализу стихотворений Н. Щукина – коми детского поэта – с точки зрения их субъектной организации. На основе анализа литературного материала установлено, что в его творчестве преобладающими формами выражения авторского сознания являются лирический герой и предметно-поэтический мир. Для детской поэзии коми поэта свойственен такой лирический герой, в котором отражается и детское, и взрослое начало, но с очевидным доминированием взрослого. Лирический герой – это человек, для которого детские впечатления становятся воспоминаниями во взрослой жизни. На то, что в стихотворениях преобладает взрослое начало, указывает временной фактор: через глаголы отражается единство настоящего с прошлым. В ходе анализа установлено, что лирический герой занимает определенное, но не преобладающее положение. В детской поэзии Н. Щукина основной формой выражения авторского сознания становится предметно-поэтический мир. Особенностью стихотворений становится то, что поэт сосредотачивает внимание маленьких читателей на открытии простой и неброской красоты северной природы. Однако прием метафорического одушевления природных явлений, использование глаголов и звуковая оркестровка произведений создают образ живой природы, что дает возможность детям почувствовать, ощутить и услышать окружающий их мир. Поэтический мир как способ выражения авторского сознания в детской лирике Н. Щукина проявляется и в стихотворениях, основанных на художественных приемах фольклорной жанровой формы – загадки. В данных поэтических произведениях предметы даются в ярких, выразительных, но в то же время понятных детям деталях, соотносимых с его жизненным опытом в родном краю. Literature for children is a whole layer of Komi literature, which is little studied today. There are critical articles that reveal the thematic and figurative originality of poetic works for children, but there are no separate works in which the poems of Komi poets would be considered from the point of view of their subject organization. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the approach to the analysis of N. Shchukin’s poems from the point of view of their subjective organization. Based on the analysis of literary material, it was established that in his work the predominant forms of expression of the author’s consciousness are the lyrical hero and the subject-poetic world. The Komi poet’s children’s poetry is characterized by such a lyrical hero, which reflects both the childish and adult beginnings, but with the obvious dominance of the adult. A lyrical hero is a person for whom childhood impressions become memories in adulthood. The fact that the adult beginning prevails in the poems is indicated by the time factor: the unity of the present with the past is reflected through the verbs. The lyrical hero occupies a certain, but not dominant position. In N. Shchukin’s children’s poetry, the subject-poetic world becomes the main form of expression of the author’s consciousness. A feature of the poems is that the poet in them, with the help of colors, focuses the attention of young readers on discovering the simple and discreet beauty of the northern nature. However, the use of metaphorical animation of natural phenomena, the use of verbs and the sound orchestration of works create an image of an unusual, fabulously magical wildlife, which makes it possible for children to feel, feel and hear the world around them. The poetic world as a way of expressing the author’s consciousness in N. Shchukin’s children’s lyrics is also manifested in poems based on artistic techniques of the folklore genre form – riddles. In this poetic work, objects are given in bright, expressive, but at the same time, details understandable to children, correlated with his life experience in his native land.

Abstract On 13. and 14. May 1981, in the course of emergency excavations in Odos Olgas 53 in Daphne, Athens, two tombs were excavated, the second of which was heralded as the Tomb of the Musician by the press. The contents were transferred to the National Archaeological Museum and later, after restoration, to the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus. In Tomb I there were found the bones of an adult person in his or her 40s, together with four lekythoi, which can be dated by their shape and the style of the paintings to about 430 B.C. In Tomb II there were found the bones of a young adult in his or her early 20s, together with toys, tools, a writing case with stylus and inkpot, fragments of a papyrus scroll and five leaves of two different wooden note-books (polyptycha), together with the remains of a lyre, a harp and one tube of a pair of auloi with mouthpiece. On the papyrus fragments and the polyptycha scanty remains of writing in the Ionian alphabet can be read. Some mythical names point to poetry; musical notation, alleged by the inventory books to be detectable, could not be seen. The harp is an example of the type called the ‘spindle harp’, which is represented on vase pictures from 430 to 410.

Full textAbstract:
This reflective essay seeks to question, through my creative practice, methods of writing the history of post-1945 events for a young adult reader. Using creative techniques to add depth to the research, I explore the scope of the future project through a palimpsest diagram as well as poetry, word association and vignettes of my lived experiences. I compare how other creative writers have treated historical narrative in fiction, memoir and drama. Building on schoalrly debate on the role of life writing in historical processes, both source materials and historiography, the essay analyses the scholarship on postmodern representations of the recent past in literature, including personalised life writing and autobiography as well as novels. Problems jostle for attention: blank spaces of the historical records, unreliable memories, competing definitions of truth, Western class-bound identity and twenty-first century retrospection. My conclusions suggest that novelistic and lyrical techniques and voices may be an effective medium for shining a spotlight on the themes of the late twentieth century. The resulting work of auto/history will be written and read through a personal lens which that is at the same time a memoir, history and historiography, which juxtaposes a microscopic life against the constellation of world events.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, the responsibility for sustainability education has been assigned to the fields of science, engineering, technology and outdoor education. More recently, English language arts have begun to play an integral role in educating students on the importance of preserving the environment for future generations. Pertinent research, however, indicates that many teachers, including those teaching English, do not feel fully prepared to address sustainability in their classrooms. Such teachers would benefit from either pre-service or in-service support where they would have opportunities to gain more knowledge about sustainability, while also critically inquiring into their related pedagogical beliefs and practices. Before beginning the process of planning and implementing relevant sustainability education experiences for English teachers, it is imperative that we, two teacher educators, first examine our own teaching narratives related to this important topic. Focusing on the dystopian young adult novel, The Secret Under My Skin (McNaughton, 2000), we make generous use of Rosenblatt’s (1995) transactional theory of reader response to critically inquire into past experiences that shape our recurrent views and actions in the classroom. We express our back-and-forth transactions in interspersing sections of poetry, prose and image, including emerging questions to consider as starting points for future engagement with teachers on the integration of sustainability education into the English language arts curriculum at the secondary school level.

Artikkelissani tarkastelen proosan ja runouden konventioita yhdistelevän säeromaanin ja queerin yhtymäkohtia kertojuuden, tilallisuuden ja affektiivisuuden näkökulmista. Tutkimuksellinen viitekehykseni nojaa kertomuksenteoriaan mutta hyödynnän luennassani myös multimodaalista stilistiikkaa ja affektitutkimusta. Analysoin artikkelissani kahta suomalaista nuorille ja nuorille aikuisille suunnattua säeromaania. Dess Terentjevan Ihana (2021) käsittelee Terentjevan muiden säeromaanien tapaan sukupuolen ja seksuaalisen moninaisuuteen sekä vähemmistöihin kuulumiseen liittyviä teemoja. Pintapuolisesti epäsuoremmin queer-tematiikkaan kytkeytyvä Kirsti Kurosen Merikki (2019) käsittelee minuuden ja identiteetin rakentumista ja hajoamista kerronnallisesti ja rakenteellisesti oivaltavalla tavalla, joka perustelee queer-näkökulman soveltamista teokseen. Artikkelissani kysyn, kuinka säeromaanille ominaiset kerronnalliset ja muodolliset keinot rakentavat kertomusta ja sen ilmentämää tematiikkaa. Millä tavoin tematiikka voi konkretisoitua tekstin asettelussa ja typografisissa ratkaisuissa? Millaista affektiivisuutta säeromaanin pelkistetty mutta merkityksiltään tiivis ilmaisu tuottaa? Voiko eri kirjallisuudenlajien konventioita yhdistelevän muodon ymmärtää itsessään queerina? Avainsanat: säeromaani; narratologia; kertoja; tilallisuus; affektiivisuus; Kirsti Kuronen; Dess Terentjeva Abstract In this article, I examine the intersections of queerness and the verse novel, a literary form that combines conventions from prose and poetry, focusing on narrative voice, spatiality, and affectivity. My theoretical framework is based on narrative theory, but I also utilize multimodal stylistics and affect studies. I examine two Finnish young adult verse novels. Dess Terentjeva’s Ihana (2021, “Gorgeous”), like Terentjeva’s other verse novels, addresses themes related to gender and sexual diversity and minorities. Kirsti Kuronen’s Merikki (2019), which is superficially less directly connected to queer thematics, explores the construction and deconstruction of selfhood and identity in both narratively and formally insightful ways that justifies the application of the queer perspective to Kuronen’s novel. In my article, I ask how the narrative and formal techniques of the verse novel construct the narrative as a whole and its themes. In what ways can the themes be concretized in the text’s layout and typographical choices? What kind of affectivity does verse novel’s concise yet complex narration produce? Can a form that combines conventions of different literary genres be understood as queer in itself?

The Poetic Form of Youth: The Rebellious Power of Language and Desire in the Anthologies Kärlek och uppror and Berör och förstör
Siv Widerberg and Anna Artén’s poetry anthology Kärlek och uppror: 210 dikter för unga människor (Love and Rebellion: 210 Poems for Young People, 1989) is something of a classic when it comes to Swedish contemporary poetry explicitly addressing young readers. Thirty years after its publication another poetry anthology, Berör och förstör: Dikter för unga (Affect and Destroy: Poems for Youth, 2019), edited by Athena Farrokhzad and Kristofer Folkhammar, was published. Both books tap into a long tradition of lyrical anthologies. Neither of the anthologies contain poetry written primarily for young readers. On the contrary, the anthologies include poems from the Swedish lyrical canon. Although the two anthologies share a similar structure and joint themes such as youth, love, poetry, and rebellion, they are significantly different in regard to poetic form and the conceptualizations of youth. The main theoretical perspective in this study is that the form of the anthologized poems can be understood as ideological expressions of an interplay between the genre's tradition and its specific aesthetic context. By historizing the genre and comparing the different paratexts of the anthologies, the article shows that adult conceptions of youth hides behind the editorial choices. In a quest to (re)create new writing subjects, through the rebellious powers of poetic language and love, the symbolic form of youth poetry both challenges and negates adult notions of youth in the two anthologies.

In this study, situated in the borderland between traditional and artistic methodologies, we innovatively represent our research findings in both prose and poetry. This is an act of exploration and resistance to hegemonic assumptions about legitimate research writing. A content analysis of young adult literature featuring trafficked child soldiers is the vehicle through which we advocate for the simultaneous use of prose and poetry. Several overarching insights emerged from this work as our prose and poetic representations, taken together, did more than either could have done on its own. We noted significant differences in scope, impact, and use of words when representing findings in the two forms. Additionally, independently selecting many of the same quotes as we created our separate representations contributed to the validity of the analysis. We saw very concretely that what one knows in one form one might know differently in another, generating a synergy of knowing.

Full textAbstract:
This paper argues for engaging in unconventional/artistic representations in psychological research and presents step-by-step instructions to make use of a specific form of artistic representation, namely found poetry. Found poetry is a form of poetic inquiry that has been used in a variety of social science disciplines, primarily to amplify meaning making possibilities in qualitative research and to make research more accessible to the reader in various ways. Accessibility of research to the general public can be greatly enhanced by artful representations, particularly poetry, because of its immense socio-epistemic potential. The paper thus attempts to provide a guide on fashioning a found poem out of qualitative data. There are 5 steps in all, represented by the acronym BEST-M. These steps consist of the following: beginning data analysis, excavating evocative data nuggets, scooping out the data, tying the thread, and member checking. As an exemplar, an interview of a young adult participant and their experience of navigating lockdown imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic is used for demonstrating the implementation of the five steps that the paper puts forward.

Full textAbstract:
The Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists. Thematic issue of Granta: The Magazine of New Writing. 113 (Winter 2010) Granta is a quarterly magazine of new writing from both established and emerging writers; although aimed primarily at adult audiences, it could easily be considered as a journal with appeal to young adults particularly due to its diverse content and style, offering readers a greater scope of choice. Granta could often, I suspect, serve to pique the interest of older adolescents due in part to the periodical's contemporary approach to cover design, and its integration of visual art and poetry with prose, along with the obvious diversity and strength of the writing in general. However, the challenge with such a magazine in the context of a school library or classroom is that Granta is published for an adult audience, meaning that individual issues may not always serve younger readers. I had assumed that The Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists would have resulted in stories that addressed experiences particularly relevant to adolescent readers, including childhood, early experiences of sexuality, and the like. Certainly, to some extent, the work included does; for example, the story by Peru's Santiago Roncagliolo, which explores the narrator's adult encounter of a strange childhood friend, which calls to memory his first love. Another is Federico Falco's “In Utah There are Mountains Too,” telling the story of a young atheist's crush on a visiting Mormon missionary. It's an excellent collection; overall, however, I don't believe this particular issue will appeal to adolescents. This is due primarily to the fact that most of the pieces included are excerpts from longer novels, which do not feel immersive, or commanding of enough attention. It's unfortunate, because the chance to offer readers access to work from cultures outside North America is exciting. This issue of Granta may not be the one to best serve this goal.
