This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on his evocative and profound references to children and their stories, Children's Stories and 'Child-Time' in the Works of Joseph Cornell and the Transatlantic Avant-Garde studies the relationship between the artist's work on childhood and his search for a transfigured concept of time. This study also situates Cornell and his art in the broader context of the transatlantic avant-garde of the 1930s and 40s. Analisa Leppanen-Guerra explores the children's stories that Cornell perceived as fundamental in order to unpack the dense network of associations in his under-studied multimedia works. Moving away from the usual focus on his box constructions, the author directs her attention to Cornell's film and theater scenarios, 'explorations', 'dossiers', and book-objects. One highlight of this study is a work that may well be the first artist's book of its kind, and has only been exhibited twice: Untitled (Journal d'Agriculture Pratique), presented as Cornell's enigmatic tribute to Lewis Carroll's Alice books.

Book excerpt: Children’s Literature and the Avant-Garde is the first study that investigates the intricate influence of the avant-garde movements on children’s literature in different countries from the beginning of the 20th century until the present. Examining a wide range of children’s books from Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the USA, the individual chapters explore the historical as well as the cultural and political aspects that determine the exceptional character of avant-garde children’s books. Drawing on studies in children’s literature research, art history, and cultural studies, this volume provides comprehensive insights into the close relationships between avant-garde children’s literature, images of childhood, and contemporary ideas of education. Addressing topics such as the impact of exhibitions, the significance of the Bauhaus, and the influence of poster art and graphic design, the book illustrates the broad range of issues associated with avant-garde children’s books. More than 60 full-color illustrations demonstrate the impressive variety of design in avant-garde picturebooks and children’s books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection applies the characterisations of children and childhood made in Deleuze and Guattari's work to concerns that have shaped our idea of the child. Bringing together established and new voices, the authors cover philosophy, literature, religious studies, education, sociology and film studies. They consider aspects of children's lives such as time, language, gender, affect, religion, atmosphere and schooling. As a whole, this book critically interrogates the pervasive interest in the teleology of upward growth of the child.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood. Think about the meaning of this word for us today as we near the end of the 20th century: a time to grow, a time to play, a time to learn, an idyllic time. Did the notion of childhood elicit the same thoughts for people in 18th- and 19th-century America? Indeed, was there even such a concept as childhood then, or is it instead a 20th-century invention that we have come to take for granted? These are difficult questions, in part because there never has been one universal understanding of childhood. How earlier generations viewed life s first stage depended on such factors as where they lived, their occupations, and their legal status as free, indentured, or enslaved Americans. One s experience and memories of childhood would have differed widely. A child working on the family farm in New England, the daughter of wealthy Philadelphians attending needlework school, or an enslaved African girl serving as a house maid in Virginia all surely experienced childhood very differently. KIDS! explores the many ways in which adults shaped the world of children in America between 1700 and 1900. It looks closely at the furniture, the books, the clothing, the toys, and the games used by and created for children, and it tells stories about growing up in early America. Above all, it invites readers to learn through history. Using objects and the stories that surround them, KIDS! puts us in touch with the past and, in so doing, moves us closer to understanding the present."
