In two dream sequences, the desires and fears of the protagonist are revealed and put into perspective. In this article, these two sequences are examined within the contexts of the cultural history of dreams, and their narrative functions as analeptic reflections of daily events, on the one hand, and as proleptic epiphanies, on the other. Dream elements of the fictional waking world in the frame are also considered using Stefanie Kreuzer’s typology of narrative-structural characteristics and Christiane Solte-Gresser’s examination of the conventions pertaining to how dreams are presented in picturebooks. This article asks to what extent the alleged waking world itself can be categorised as a dream world. To answer this question, it focusses on the characters’ masking and identity confusion, the motif of the dream journey as well as the presentation of the elephant, whose naturalistic appearance in the dream sequences is in marked contrast to the unrealism with which the waking world is portrayed. The conclusion reflects on the particular suitability of textless picturebooks for presenting dreams.","PeriodicalId":284994,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126508085","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}

This is particularly true in children's literature, in which children’s dreams are presented in pictures. This article focusses on picturebooks that question various interpretations of reality, whose ontology, in other words, is open to interpretation: Are the worlds represented through imagery fictionally true or imagined as a dream? It also aims to show that the ultimate openness of images to interpretation results from an indiscernible oscillation between ambiguation and disambiguation. The central hypothesis of the article states that these images have the potential to sensitise their audiences to ambiguity and thus promote its tolerance – even outside of literature. It posits that these images can support the development of ›ambiguity skills‹, understood here to refer to a child’s ability to handle perceived ambiguities productively, for instance by using them to examine basic anthropological questions, and is one means to prepare children for complex social ambiguities in real-life situations.","PeriodicalId":284994,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133937180","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}

Hoffmann’s Das fremde Kind\u0000In Die Elfen (1812) by Ludwig Tieck and Das fremde Kind (1817) by E.T.A. Hoffmann, natural spaces occupy a central position in terms of the spatial semantic field of the texts. As a narrative element, they fulfil complex functions that go beyond the mere spatial dimension. The forest, in particular, is rendered as a childhood space with ambivalent connotations and functions. Although the childlike figures can move autonomously within the forest – far away from their parents – this spatialisation is nevertheless accompanied by threatening experiences that reflect the disturbing process of detachment from childhood. This article examines the spatial construction of Hoffmann’s and Tieck’s texts by rereading both literary fairy tales from a topographical perspective in order, on the one hand, to trace the spatial semantic order (Yuri Lotman) and interstices (Michel Foucault) and, on the other, to discuss the associated notions of childhood. It also seeks to make recent German-language research on Romanticism, which has been informed by cultural studies, productive for children’s and young adult literature research. The idea of Romantic childhood as a utopia must, in the wake of the work of Detlef Kremer and Andreas Kilcher, be differentiated and brought into line with current research on Romanticism.","PeriodicalId":284994,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung","volume":"114 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132638664","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 terms of space and metaphor they are often situated at the margins of urban and suburban zones. Gas stations frequently appear throughout popular culture, in novels, films and T V series, often as a threshold to supernatural, uncanny spaces. At a gas station, anything can happen, any time. People meet by chance, continue their trip together, get into fights, fall in love, get killed. And of course, gas stations can explode as soon as safe-ty measures are ignored. In the coming-of-age genre, in particular, there is a huge variety of gas stations: Gas stations as everyday places as well as adventurous zones reflect the fragile emotional state of adolescent characters on the run. When they turn in at a gas station, dramatic things happen – an old order might be destroyed and a new one seems possible. Even though gas stations seem easy to grasp as icons of modernity, they are the result of complex media processes. This article analyses the poetics of the gas station in German coming-of-age-novels, putting them into the context of international media culture for young adults.","PeriodicalId":284994,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125674308","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 book can be understood as rewriting classical Freudian analysis, retaining some of its rigor and edge while making it more palatably American. Where the Wild Things Are has been embraced as a psychological primer, a story about anger and its management through fantasy; it is also a text in which echoes of Freud remain audible. It is read it here as a bedtime-story version of Freud’s Wolf Man case history of 1918, an updated and upbeat dream of the wolf boy. It is to Sendak what the Wolf Man case was to Freud, a career-making feral tale. Standing at the crossroads of Freudian tradition, child analysis, humanistic psychology, and bibliotherapy, the article reveals how the book both clarified and expanded the uses of picturebook enchantment.","PeriodicalId":284994,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch der Gesellschaft für Kinder- und Jugendliteraturforschung","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127412864","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}
