Diese veränderte soziokulturelle Wahrnehmung des Mediums sowie die gewachsenen Ansprüche des gealterten Kernpublikums begründen mit dem technischen Fortschritt die jüngst angestoßene intermediale Adaption des Coming-of-Age-Genres im Videospiel. Jedoch existieren schon vor der Herausbildung des Genres der Adolescent Games mit seinen facettenreichen Spielarten einige kreative Verhandlungsweisen der Individuation, die sich der Thematik im Rahmen ihrer gegenwärtigen Möglichkeiten annehmen. Um sich den verschiedenen Genreausprägungen der Adolescent Games sowie ihrer Vorgänger holistisch zu nähern, widmet sich der vorliegende Beitrag eingangs grundlegenden Genrediskussionen der Games Studies, die aufgrund der inhärenten Wandelbarkeit des interaktiven Mediums oftmals als ‚unmögliches Unterfangen‘ gelten. \u0000Coming-of-Age in Video Games Thoughts on Adolescent Games as a Genre \u0000Even though video games have been regarded as the medial epitome of youth culture, coming-of-age has only recently become a more frequently explored topic in virtual worlds, ultimately leading to the intermedial adaptation of the coming-of-age-genre in video games. Reasons for this development can be traced to several factors, such as changes in the socio-cultural perception of the medium, new demands of a matured core audience, as well as ongoing technical advances. However, well before the formation of the genre of adolescent games and its multifaceted variants in terms of play, there were already various ludonarrative ways to explore the topic of individuation within the current limits of the medium. In order to holistically approach the various forms of adolescent games as well as their predecessors, this article initially outlines the current genre discussions in Games Studies, often regarded as an impossible endeavour due to the inherent transformability of the interactive medium.

Dabei trat mit dem Winterthurer August Corrodi schon Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts ein Schweizer Kinderbuchautor und -illustrator auf den Plan, dessen Werk ein humoristischer Grundton prägt, ja, der sogar einmal als „erster reiner Humorist“ der deutschsprachigen Kinderliteratur bezeichnet wurde (von Greyerz 1921). Der Beitrag untersucht, worin das vielbeschworene „Humoristische“ bei Corrodi denn genau besteht und welche Formen und Funktionen die Komik in seinen Texten annimmt. Zum einen gilt es die Bezüge zu Corrodis großem Vorbild Jean Paul und dessen Humorlehre herauszuarbeiten. Zum andern lassen sich Corrodis Ästhetisierungen des Komischen als dezidierte Emanzipationsschritte weg von einer aufklärerisch belehrenden Erzähltradition lesen. Aufklärerische, aber auch biedermeierliche und romantische Stereotype, denen Corrodi teilweise selbst noch verhaftet ist, werden ironisiert und transformiert. Methodisch wird der Ansatz verfolgt, textimmanente Analysen mit diskurgeschichtlichen Betrachtungen in einen Dialog zu bringen und Erkenntnisgewinne durch unterschiedliche Theoriemodelle zu kombinieren und zu integrieren. Dazu gehört auch eine Auseinandersetzung mit den in der Zeit wirksamen Gattungstraditionen. \u0000 \u0000August Corrodi (1826–1885) A Pioneer of Comic Children's Literature in the German-Speaking World \u0000Until the turn of the last millennium, Swiss children’s literature was seen as lacking imagination and humor, as one-sidedly pedagogical and morally didactic. Yet, in the mid-nineteenth century, August Corrodi came onto the scene. Corrodi was a Swiss author and illustrator of children’s books from Winterthur, and his work is characterised by a humorous undertone; von Greyerz (1921) went so far as to identify him as the “first pure humourist” of German-language children’s literature. This article examines the much-invoked ‘humorous’ in Corrodi’s work and the forms and functions of comedy in his texts. It will identify Corrodi’s connection to Jean Paul’s humour theory along with Corrodi’s aesthetic rendering of humour as emancipation from the rationalistic, schoolmasterly narrative tradition. Corrodi ironicises and transforms stereotypes of the Enlightenment, but also those of Biedermeier and the Romantic, even though he was at least partly immersed in them himself. The article aims to bring text-immanent analyses into dialogue with a discourse-historical approach and to combine insights gained through different theoretical models, including an examination of the genre traditions current at the time. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":284994,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138619690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In diesem Kontext lässt sich Stille im kinderliterarischen Medium neu perspektivieren: Unter Voraussetzung ihrer textuellen Markierung und Anlegung, ihres Framings, etabliert sich Stille als Möglichkeit der Annäherung an die grausamsten Aspekte des Holocaust in Form impliziter Darstellung. “Silence as a means of representation in itself,” um Joanne Pettitt zu zitieren, wird im Folgenden als Auslöser einer gewissen Resonanz etabliert, die den Impuls für eine im Text begründete Dialogizität bildet und das Wechselspiel aus Nähe und Distanz sowie die Involvierung der Rezipient:innen zu regulieren intendiert. \u0000 \u0000Dialogue with Silence The Holocaust in Children’s and Young Adult Literature \u0000Approaches to representing the Holocaust in children’s and young adult literature, especially in works that address the genocide of the Jewish minority, exist in a tension between wanting to spare child readers from the atrocities of the subject matter and the risk of trivialising it, between the didactic goals of conveying historical events and the literary aesthetic-driven approaches. In this context, the function of silence in children’s literature can be repositioned. Presupposing its textual framing, silence establishes itself as a means of approaching the grimmest aspects of the Holocaust in the form of implicit representation. „Silence as a means of representation in itself,” to cite Joanne Pettitt, is seen as triggering a particular resonance that forms the impulse for dialogue grounded in the text, and which aims to regulate the interplay of proximity and distance and the involvement of the readers.

Bezeichnenderweise bleibt der Jugendroman selbst in den Definitionen abwesend, da er erst durch andere Gattungen als Ergänzung an Substanz gewinnt. Ziel des Aufsatzes ist es, eigenständige Erzähllogiken des Jugendromans zu benennen. Zu diesem Zweck wird zunächst ein Konzept von Jugendliteratur als Oberkategorie für mehrdimensionale Altersbilder skizziert und anschließend die Bedeutung von Jugend als sozialer Dimension des Alters aufgezeigt. Weiterhin wird eine Neugewichtung gängiger Erzähl- und Deutungsmuster vorgenommen, die intrapersonales Wachstum als Kern der Jugendliteratur etablieren und verfestigen. Daraus ergibt sich die Genese flexibler narratologischer Konzepte von Mobilität.

Significantly, the youth novel itself is rarely defined; it seems to gain substance only via other genres. The aim of this article is to outline the independent narrative logic of the youth novel. At the outset, a concept of youth literature as a superordinate category for multidimensional age emplotments is sketched, followed by a demonstration of the significance of youth as a social dimension of age. After that, the common narrative and interpretive patterns that establish and solidify intrapersonal growth as the core of young adult literature are rebalanced, and the genesis of a flexible, narratological concept of mobility emerges. Youth novels are thus shown to be narratives of external social mobility that construct and negotiate the social dimension of age.

So entstehen hybride Produkte, in denen die Arten des Erzählens durch Schrift und Bild erweitert sind. Dabei ist es vor allem die bildliche Dimension, die es dem Medium auf der Ebene des discours ermöglicht, intermediale Bezüge herzustellen und damit die Möglichkeiten der Rezeption zu vergrößern.

Traditional narrative forms are merging with media trends, taking into account changed reception habits, to produce new forms of presentation. Hybrid products have emerged, extending the possibilities of storytelling in written text and images. The pictorial dimension especially enables the medium, on the level of the discours, to create intermedial references and thus expand the possibilities of reception. Here we observe sequences of images that are reminiscent of film shots, simulated interaction that emulates the structure of computer games or evoked sound ideas that seem to expand the modality of the picturebook. This article builds a bridge between picturebook analysis and media studies approaches by analysing the predominant narrative form in selected picturebooks and showing their interface with conventions of media aesthetics.

Der Beitrag diskutiert einige Gründe für diesen Befund und greift dafür auf funktionsgeschichtliche Gattungstheorien zurück.

Some Thoughts on Genre Emergence and Transformation \u0000Despite widespread use of the term, the theoretical status of nature writing as a genre category for text grouping is controversial, but this is not always reflected in research, especially in children's and young adult literature research. This article takes the current widespread use of the term as an indication of an emerging diversification and hybridisation of the genre system of ecological children's and young adult literature. Nature writing, underrepresented in children’s literature compared to the general literary field, is conceived as a term for a mode of writing that transcends genres. This article discusses some reasons for this situation, drawing on functional genre theories. It argues that the emergence and transformation of genres and modes of writing takes place in a heterogeneous web of literary and extra-literary discourses, institutions and structures that make use of literary affordances. The genre-constituting constellation of children’s and young adult literature differs from that of literature for adults and is used to contextualise the dominance of nonfiction and narrative-fictional forms in environmental children’s literature.","PeriodicalId":284994,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung","volume":" 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138619507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The child in contemporary Gothic is portrayed as a capable agent, successful in their attempt to defeat the threats emanating from the Gothic netherworld. This portrayal is in keeping with the general tendency to date to emphasise child agency and competence as positive traits in the representation of childhood subjectivity. However, recent Nordic Gothic fiction – particularly from Sweden, Denmark and Norway – challenges this discourse on child agency and competence. The aim of this article is to show how images of child agency and competence are problematised in contemporary Gothic fiction for children published in the Scandinavian countries. Gothic fiction for children utilises a generic ambivalence of the Gothic in its portrayal of child subjectivity, which resonates with tensions in the contemporary understanding of childhood. In this genre, agency is not foremost a positive trait but rather a compulsory feature. To act in accordance with continuously changing circumstances is shown to demand specific kinds of competencies: adaptability and flexibility. But depictions of the competent child are frequently haunted by its counterpart – the incompetent child – which problematises the very notion of child competence as understood within a contemporary context. Gothic ambivalence therefore throws a light on darker discourses of child agency and competence in the Nordic countries today.
