Description: Contemporary British Children's Fiction and Cosmopolitanism by Fiona McCulloch Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book visits contemporary British childrens and young adult (YA) fiction alongside cosmopolitanism, exploring the notion of the nation within the context of globalization, transnationalism and citizenship. By resisting globalizations dehumanizing conflation, cosmopolitanism offers an ethical, humanitarian, and political outlook of convivial planetary community. In its pedagogical responsibility towards readers who will become future citizens, contemporary childrens and YA fiction seeks to interrogate and dismantle modes of difference and instead provide aspirational models of empathetic world citizenship. McCulloch discusses texts such as J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter series, Jackie Kays Strawgirl, Theresa Breslins Divided City, Gillian Crosss Where I Belong, Kerry Drewerys A Brighter Fear, Saci Lloyds Momentum, and Julie Bertagnas Exodus trilogy. This book addresses ways in which childrens and YA fiction imagines not only the nation but the world beyond, seeking to disrupt binary divisions through a cosmopolitical outlook. The writers discussed envision British societys position and role within a global arena of wide-ranging topical issues, including global conflicts, gender, racial politics, ecology, and climate change. Contemporary childrens fiction has matured by depicting characters who face uncertainty just as the world itself experiences an uncertain future of global risks, such as environmental threats and terrorism. The volume will be of significant interest to the fields of childrens literature, YA fiction, contemporary fiction, cosmopolitanism, ecofeminism, gender theory, and British and Scottish literature.
