    In his 1988 Words about Pictures, Perry Nodelman took a semiotic approach to studying picture books, exploring the complex dynamics of image and text in works that until then had primarily been assessed on their educational merit, when they were studied seriously at all.

    No full text
    After some years as an academic specialist in children's literature, I published my first novel for children. I'm planning to discuss how my experiences as an author changed my ideas about what children's literature is and about how it functions, with a special focus on how the \"children\" imagined as readers by people in publishing help to shape both specific books and what gets published generally

    Teaching Canadian Children’s Literature: Learning to Know More

    No full text
    Dans cet article, les auteurs examinent les problèmes reliés à l'enseignement de la littérature canadienne pour la jeunesse au niveau universitaire. Or cette pro­duction littéraire est-elle avant tout de la littérature pour la jeunesse au de la littérature canadienne? En se concentrant sur des questions de genre et de spécifité nationale, les auteurs et leurs étudiants ont développé une typologie des caractéristiques de la littérature pour la jeunesse au Canada anglais. P. Nodelman et M. Reimer analysent les activités scolaires proposées en termes de pédagogie et d'exploration de la canadianité. This article explores the problems and the excitements of teaching Cana­dian children's literature in a university context. Is this literature most significantly children's literature or Canadian literature? By focusing simultaneously on both generic and national paradigms, the authors and their classes developed a provi­sional list of the characteristics of mainstream Canadian children's literature. The article explores the implication of these classroom activities in terms of both peda­gogy and the exploration of the Canadian features of Canadian literature.https://ccl-lcj.ca/index.php/ccl-lcj/article/view/3675/323
