Abstract:

This volume brings together contributions from leading scholars of
children’s literature and culture, who apply various theoretical
perspectives to capture transcultural and interdisciplinary links
between global and local canons. The chapters are divided into three
thematic clusters: School Canons, Children’s Literature and Young
People’s Reading Practices, and The Canon and Popular Culture. The
twelve chapters by international researchers illuminate the
distinctiveness of the canon(s) in Poland, Ukraine, Russia, and
Croatia, while positioning them within a global discourse. This volume
addresses the key question of what determines canon formation and
legitimization, namely whether the canon is established by experts
affiliated with institutions, such as universities, scholarly
journals, and literary awards, or whether it is perhaps formed by
readers – the wider reading public and their literary preferences. The
study also raises further questions that merit in-depth examination,
including the relationship between global and local canons, the
presence of both international classics and contemporary authors in
school curricula, crossover literature, and the blurring of the line
between popular culture and the canon(s).
