It is a research, conservation and educational foundation devoted to movable books, especially pop-up books. Their work with children is in conjunction with their museum of School and Children's books (Museo della Scuola e del Libro per l'Infanzia). When the outbreak of the coronavirus in Italy in late February 2020 prevented the academic conference they had organized from occurring, the foundation immediately turned their attention to working cross culturally with and for children, engaging Italian, Chinese and later Dutch artists and paper engineers to devise working models of different types of pop-ups. I give an account of the inception of the project, discuss the materials provided on their site, and examine some of the images of the homemade artifacts made by children and their families in Italy and China.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66421036","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}

Its creation was originally undertaken in collaboration with three students in the Intercultural Management (ICM) program at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, France: Keizo Suzuki from Japan, Aigerim Daribayeva from Kazakhstan, and Stephan van de Ven from the Netherlands. This diverse team, in a for-credit project as part of their ICM master's program, worked under the direction of David Bousquet, who, with his colleague Alex Frame, had already supervised student teams on similar projects developing other games that have been published and are now being used for both organizational training and academic courses. These projects were accomplished in collaboration with George Simons International, a sole proprietorship that initiated the diversophy ® game series and which provided coaching, editing, and final production. After concluding this project, and in preparation for writing this article, Suzuki, Daribayeva, Van de Ven, and Bousquet were asked to provide a brief report of their insights and learning as well as to describe some of their experiences in conceiving, planning, and implementing the humour project. These reflections are interspersed throughout the article.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47938630","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}

Notre objectif vise à présenter une grille détaillée des procédés humoristiques adoptés par divers auteurs et illustrateurs en les exemplifiant par des extraits tirés des textes et des illustrations de plusieurs albums. Ce qui nous a conduits à développer cette grille, c'est la constatation lors d'observations ethnographiques dans des classes du primaire de l'attrait des élèves envers les procédés humoristiques (Montésinos-Gelet), mais également du peu de mots dont ils disposent pour les décrire avec précision et ainsi mieux les apprécier. Nous avons donc recensé plusieurs catégorisations et nous sommes appuyées sur les six attraits du livre proposés par Joyce G. Saricks pour organiser notre grille. Nous avons ajouté deux attraits pour tenir compte des illustrations. Nous avons ainsi dégagé et catégorisé quatre registres dans lesquels se déploient onze types d'humour ainsi que douze variétés de comique auxquelles sont associés quarante-sept procédés.Abstract:Our contribution to this special issue on laughter comes from the didactics of children's literature. Our goal is to present a detailed checklist of the comedic devices used by various authors and illustrators and to provide examples with extracts from the texts and illustrations of multiple albums. We developed this checklist after realizing, during ethnographic observations in elementary schools, how attracted pupils are to comedic devices (Montésinos-Gelet), but also how few words they have to describe them precisely and thereby better appreciate them. We thus consulted multiple categorizations and relied on Joyce G. Saricks's six appeal elements of books to organize our checklist. We added two appeal elements to take into account the illustrations. We have thus drawn out and categorized four registers in which are spread out eleven types of humour as well as twelve varieties of comic expression to which are associated forty-seven comedic devices.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42321803","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}

Il part de l'idée que l'inscription du rire dans la littérature d'enfance et de jeunesse participe de sa dimension didactique, mais produit également une expérience esthétique. À travers l'analyse des rires moqueurs des personnages, il met particulièrement en évidence des conditions dans lesquelles la dérision apparaît légitime, inévitable, excluant l'Autre ou révélatrice de la profondeur du psychisme humain.Abstract:This article examines the different manifestations of the comic and their functions in four African fictional works of children's literature: the picture book Tout Rond by Fatou Keïta and the novels Les confidences de Médor by Micheline Coulibaly, Pain sucré by Mary Lee Martin-Koné, and Awa la petite marchande by Nafissatou Niang Diallo. It stems from the notion that laughter is inscribed into children's and young adult literature for didactic purposes, but that it also produces an aesthetic experience. By analyzing characters' mocking laughter, it highlights the conditions under which derision appears legitimate, inevitable, exclusionary, or revealing of the depths of the human psyche.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41444757","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}

Our Boys was a juvenile periodical edited by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, who aimed to teach Irish youth how to behave and articulate their interests within the terms of reference established by nationalist, Catholic discourse. Laughter was provoked and represented in Our Boys with this objective in mind and thus came to possess a formative and ideological dimension. The investigation focuses on how laughter in the periodical constructed both ideologies and subjectivities.","PeriodicalId":42169,"journal":{"name":"Jeunesse-Young People Texts Cultures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43752503","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}
