2. 11. Beyond the noise of time : readings of Marina Tsvetaeva’s memories of childhood

   Author : Karin Grelz; Peter Alberg Jensen; Lars Kleberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Russian literature; Tsvetaeva; childhood; Pasternak; Rilke; aesthetics; symbolism; memories; Russian language; Ryska språket;

   Abstract : Although quite a few researchers have pointed to the significance of the childhood theme in Tsvetaeva’s work, no systematic analysis of her work has been done from this perspective. Nor have her childhood reminiscences been treated as a thematically consistent whole, but have rather been read as instances of the poet’s prose in general. READ MORE

5. 13. The Sacrificial Child in Maori Literature: Narratives of Redemption by Keri Hulme, Patricia Grace, Witi Ihimaera, and Alan Duff

   Author : Ulrika Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Maori fiction; childhood studies; Keri Hulme; Patricia Grace; Witi Ihimaera; Alan Duff; sacrificial child; children in literature;

   Abstract : This study is an examination of the theme of the sacrificial child in four of the most well-known novels by Maori authors published in the 1980s and 1990s: Keri Hulme’s The Bone People (1983), Patricia Grace’s Potiki (1986), Witi Ihimaera’s The Whale Rider (1987), and Alan Duff’s Once Were Warriors (1990). The motif of a special child whose death is the pivotal event of the narrative functions partly as a symbol of the destructive marginalization of the Maori people in colonial and postcolonial New Zealand, but it is also given a redemptive significance in that, in all the novels, the child’s death has the effect of healing and strengthening its community or family.
