pretend play narrative

[Simone Bol]

Hi,

I'd like to recommend the delightfully titled article below:

You Can Be the Baby Brother, But You Aren't Born Yet: Preschool Girls' Negotiation for Power and Access in Pretend Play 
Sheldon, Amy
Research on Language and Social Interaction, 1996, 29, 1, 57-80

enjoy,

Simone




Dear all,
I am a graduate student from China.
I am very interested in the different narratives of the children who act the
different roles in the pretend play and going to do some research on Chinese
speaking children. However, the literatures I collected mostly are researchs
on narrative with Projective Doll Play and individual symbolic play of
children. I did not find any literature about the narrative constructed
together by peers with their cooperative pretend play.
If convenient, would you please provide me some information about the
literatures on cooperative pretend play narrative or relative articles ?
Thanks a lot for help!

Best Regards,
Shirley
