Abstract

ABSTRACT This article focuses on three East German descriptive picturebooks from the 1950s that explain the production of bread, milk, and fish. These production stories not only convey knowledge by means of the juxtaposition of text and images but also emphasize the achievements of the five-year plan with respect to the provision of food for the citizens of the German Democratic Republic. This combination of information and propagandistic messages served to encourage the child readers’ identification with the agenda of the socialist state. Hence, the presumptive role of the child reader as naive consumer merges with the idea of the politically engaged socialist child.

我们的每日面包:战后东德为孩子们制作的故事

本文重点介绍了三本20世纪50年代东德的描述性绘本，这些绘本解释了面包、牛奶和鱼的生产。这些制作故事不仅通过图文并茂的方式传达知识，而且还强调了五年计划在为德意志民主共和国公民提供粮食方面取得的成就。这种信息和宣传信息的结合有助于鼓励儿童读者对社会主义国家议程的认同。因此，儿童读者作为天真消费者的假定角色与参与政治的社会主义儿童的想法融合在一起。
