Children's Literature

Picture Books

Seminar Idea: One course might deal with the social problems and taboos concerning childhood that are often missed in children’s literature, especially in the picture book, which is often associated with the illustration of an "innocent childhood”. Yet, picture books also deal with complex and controversial side issues such as child’s poverty, emotional negligence, drug and sexual abuse. As they combine visual and textual narration, the course might take a closer look at these two forms and their hybridity, and the way this hybridity is used to illustrate the side issues adequateley (since these books are read by children).
