ABSTRACTS SOUGHT FOR A BOOK OF ESSAYS ON JUNGIAN/ARCHETYPAL
APPROACHES TO CHILDREN'S AND YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE
Abstracts are sought for a proposed book on Jungian/Archetypal readings of
Children's and Young Adult Literature. Tentatively titled, Dreams of
Childhood: Jungian and Archetypal Approaches to Children's and Young Adult
Literature, chapters in the proposed book will address how the work of C. G.
Jung and post-Jungian thinkers can inform and enrich the ongoing,
intellectual conversation about texts for young readers. Proceeding from
the idea that Jungian thought continues to be a vibrant, informative, and
essential tool for understanding the world of children's and young adult
literature, this book will discuss how we can better understand these texts
by discovering the ways in which the best of them reflect the archetypal
workings of the polyvalent, pluralistic imagination.
Abstracts may address, but are not limited to, such topics as:
* Jungian/Archetypal readings of either a single work or multiple
works
* Jungian/Archetypal readings of a single author
* Jung, myth, and children's or young adult literature
* Jung, dreams, and children's or young adult literature
* Jung, postmodernism, and children's or young adult literature
Inquiries are welcome. Please submit a two to three page, double-spaced
abstract by July 15, 2002. Send abstracts or inquiries to Dr. Keith
