The Looking Glass: New Perspectives on Children?s Literature invites scholarly submissions to all columns and sections for a special issue:
Censorship Submission deadline: 29 February 2008 Publication date: May 2008
Critical, informative, and inquiring articles are welcome on the broad and provocative topic of censorship. Censorship and children?s reading historically go hand-in-hand, so we at TLG are particularly interested in exploring censorship as an international phenomenon that particularly affects children and their reading. As well-meaning adults seek to
?protect? young readers from difficult, unsavory, or somehow inappropriate language or material, we may ask, is the role of children?s literature to educate young boys and girls about the world in which they live, including its unpleasant aspects? Or, is it the responsibility of such texts to shield children from these elements? In what ways do we define or understand the idea of censorship? How do attitudes toward and practices of censorship vary around the world? How do we respond to the practice of censorship? Is censorship ever appropriate? If so, how, and when? The Looking Glass seeks contributions from many perspectives and areas of interest?public, school, and academic libraries; public schools; university classrooms (students and professors on training teachers and scholars); authors (self-censorship as well as publisher or public censorship or challenge); publishers; citizens.
Submissions to Alice?s Academy, the refereed column, particularly welcomed. Submit online at www.the-looking-glass.net
