SEMINAR 1
Through the gender lens: Fictional people and fictional societies in
children's literature
Anna Èermáková (University of Birmingham) & Michaela Mahlberg
(University of Birmingham)
Monday 11 November 5-6.30pm - Room 3/8 (3^rd floor) -Waterloo Bridge Wing
Children's literature with its dual character, i.e. its
didactic-aesthetic split, is an important formative discourse. Our focus
is on the gendered dimension of this discourse and its development over
time. We look across a time span that starts in the Victorian era and
leads right up to present day. Gender is one of the fundamental
structuring principles of our society. It is manifested and reproduced
in everyday language practice. Nancy Armstrong (1987) claims that in
19^th century fiction, gender constitutes the most important difference
among individuals. This difference is also primarily visible in the
division of society into a private and a public sphere. This gendered
structure is traceable in children's fiction, too - and it has persisted
from the 19^th century up to present. To describe the private and the
public spheres in our corpora of children's literature, we identify
typical, repeatedly occurring, character types, e.g. /mother /or /king.
/The quantitative part of our study is complemented by a qualitative
analysis focused on the process of characterisation, and in particular
gendered body language (Korte 1997, Mahlberg 2013, Èermáková & Mahlberg
2018).
