Je kan je afvragen wat men bij het (Britse) National Centre for Research in Children's Literature bedoelt met de 'inner world', maar hoe dan ook, er komt een conferentie over getiteld ‘Children's Literature and the Inner World’, op zaterdag 12 mei 2012, University of Roehampton, London, en die aankondiging bevatte dit stukje tekst ter verduidelijking:
' If, according to David Lodge, literature is a record of human consciousness, then children’s literature can potentially offer fascinating perspectives on the interior lives of children and young people. This conference will explore relationships between imaginative writing and the workings of the mind. It is a chance to examine how authors and readers approach the troubling question of how we can know what goes on within other people’s heads, especially when those other people are children. ' (Link heb ik aangebracht.)
Fascinerend, want verreweg de meeste jeugdliteratuur is geschreven door volwassenen. Gewaagd dus om te beweren dat 'children’s literature can potentially offer fascinating perspectives on the interior lives of children and young people', lijkt me.
Als plenaire sprekers hebben toegezegd Philip Gross (University of Glamorgan); Farah Mendlesohn (Middlesex University); David Rudd (University of Bolton); en Alison Waller (University of Roehampton).
' We invite proposals for workshop papers on literature for children or young adults and the following themes:
- consciousness and the unconscious
- perception
- memory
- the mind and body
- the reading process.
300 word abstracts for proposed papers, along with a short biography, should be sent to Alison Waller (a.waller[at]roehampton.ac.uk) by Wednesday 1 February 2012. '
