by Ingrid Tomkowiak Gabriele Von Glasenapp Andre KagelmannDer Band lotet die Bedingungen des Erinnerns und Erzählens und damit einer Re-Inszenierung der Vergangenheit im Feld der Kinder- und Jugendmedien aus. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde auf das Spannungsfeld von ‚objektiver‘ Geschichtswissenschaft einerseits und Dichtung andererseits gelegt, angesiedelt zwischen den Polen Referenzialität und einem neuen Interesse am vermeintlich Authentischen sowie der Fiktionalisierung von Fakten. Dieser Widerspruch ist von besonderer Bedeutung für die geschichtserzählenden Kinder- und Jugendmedien mit ihrem spezifischen Funktionsrahmen von ästhetischer und pädagogischer Horizontbildung und -erweiterung. Neben den traditionellen kinder- und jugendliterarischen Erinnerungsmedien – erzählende Literatur, historische und zeitgeschichtliche Romane, (autofiktionale) Biographien – sowie Drama und Lyrik werden Bilderbücher, Comics, Filme, Serien und Computerspiele in den Blick genommen.

Ethical Literacies and Education for Sustainable Development: Young People, Subjectivity and Democratic Participation
by Olof Franck Christina OsbeckThis book explores the ethical dimensions surrounding the development of education for sustainable development within schools, and examines these issues through the lens of ethical literacy. The book argues that teaching children to engage with nature is crucial if they are to develop a true understanding of sustainability and climate issues, and claims that sustainability education is much more successful when pupils are treated as moral agents rather than being passive subjects of testing and assessment. The collection brings together a range of fresh and creative perspectives on how issues around ethical literacies can be elaborated and expanded with regard to democratic sustainability education. The use of children´s books in teaching about sustainability is carefully explored, as are the ethical and aesthetic dimensions of environmental education. Including an afterword by Arjen Wals, Professor of Transformative Learning for Socio-Ecological Sustainability, the book will be of great interest to students and researchers in the field of sustainability education.

Ethics and Children's Literature (Studies in Childhood, 1700 to the Present)
by Claudia MillsExploring the ethical questions posed by, in, and about children’s literature, this collection examines the way texts intended for children raise questions of value, depict the moral development of their characters, and call into attention shared moral presuppositions. The essays in Part I look at various past attempts at conveying moral messages to children and interrogate their underlying assumptions. What visions of childhood were conveyed by explicit attempts to cultivate specific virtues in children? What unstated cultural assumptions were expressed by growing resistance to didacticism? How should we prepare children to respond to racism in their books and in their society? Part II takes up the ethical orientations of various classic and contemporary texts, including 'prosaic ethics' in the Hundred Acre Wood, moral discernment in Narnia, ethical recognition in the distant worlds traversed by L’Engle, and virtuous transgression in recent Anglo-American children’s literature and in the emerging children’s literature of 1960s Taiwan. Part III’s essays engage in ethical criticism of arguably problematic messages about our relationship to nonhuman animals, about war, and about prejudice. The final section considers how we respond to children’s literature with ethically focused essays exploring a range of ways in which child readers and adult authorities react to children’s literature. Even as children’s literature has evolved in opposition to its origins in didactic Sunday school tracts and moralizing fables, authors, parents, librarians, and scholars remain sensitive to the values conveyed to children through the texts they choose to share with them.
