Children and Cultural Memory in Texts of Childhood (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Snell, Heather; Hutchison, Lorna

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the relationship between children and cultural memory in texts both for and about young people. The collection overall is concerned with how cultural memory is shaped, contested, forgotten, recovered, and (re)circulated, sometimes in opposition to dominant national narratives, and often for the benefit of young readers who are assumed not to possess any prior cultural memory.
