Reproduktion av föråldrade värderingar – En identifiering och analys av faktorer som bör spela in vid återutgivning av barnlitteratur
(2014) FBMK11 20141Publishing Studies
- Abstract
- In the past few years, there has been an ongoing debate concerning republished children’s literature which reproduce obsolete values. What are the difficulties for the publishing business in this issue; how should it act? Based on interviews, a recorded discussion and articles, this study makes an effort to answer those questions. Argumentation is supported and questioned in a qualitative analysis by theories on classics in literature, children’s literature and cognition in relation to literature.

- In the past few years, there has been an ongoing debate concerning republished children’s literature which reproduce obsolete values. What are the difficulties for the publishing business in this issue; how should it act? Based on interviews, a recorded discussion and articles, this study makes an effort to answer those questions. Argumentation is supported and questioned in a qualitative analysis by theories on classics in literature, children’s literature and cognition in relation to literature. The study shows that because literature is a part of giving children life experiences, it’s important to be critical towards obsolete values as racism. If we see classics as a result of internal and external circumstances, they can be questioned, and not published on routine. The market of elderly children’s books is held by nostalgic parents: they read it and buy it – it’s an important income to publishing houses. Despite this, we can see how new media and a contemporary diverse population is giving the publishing business more voices to relate to. Obsolete literature can cling on to out-of-date-language, or offensive opinions. Slight changes can be made only if the copyright approves. Publishing houses must ask themselves: is this a heritage worth passing forward to the children of today? (Less)
