ARIC 101/1101 - Children’s Literature and Cultural Representations (3 cr.)
Description
This course introduces students in simplified form and content to contemporary literary and cultural theories pertinent to reading and analyzing children’s literature. Topics for discussion will include historical constructions of childhood and the socio-historical contexts for the production of children’s literary canon(s). Through readings to familiar classics we will explore how representations in texts for children (both written and visual) have shaped the different ideologies of identity, race, gender, and nation.
