Essays on Jungian/Archetypal Approaches to Children's and Young Adult Literature

Publié le par François Blumenfeld (Source : Liste CFP)

Abstracts sought for a book of essays on Jungian/Archetypal approaches to Children's and Young Adult literature

Abstracts are sought for a proposed book tentatively titled: 'Dreams of Childhood: Jungian and Archetypal Approaches to Children's and Young Adult Literature'. Chapters in the proposed book will address how the work of Jung and post-Jungian thinkers can inform and enrich the ongoing intellectual conversation about texts for young readers. Proceeding from the idea that Jungian thought continues to be a vibrant, informative, and essential tool for understanding the world of children's and young adult literature, this book will discuss how we can better understand these texts by discovering the ways in which the best of them reflect the archytepal workings of the polyvalent, pluralistic imagination.

Abstracts may address, but are not limited to, such topics as:

- Jungian/Archetypal readings of either a single work or multiple works

- Jungian/Archetypal readings of a single author

- Jung, myth, and children's or young adult literature

- Jung, dreams, and children's or young adult lit

- Jung, postmodernism, and children's or y. a. lit

Please submit a two to three page, double-spaced abstract by July 15th, 2002
