The G-Book Project. Literature for children and YAs from a gender perspective

Webinar held on 25 January 2023 as part of the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) and Outside in World (OIW) Webinar series on Children’s Literature and Translation. Speakers: Valeria Illuminati, Roberta Pederzoli, and Beatrice Spallaccia (University of Bologna, MeTRa Centre – Research Centre on Mediation and Translation by and for Children and Young Adults) Chairs: Sophie Heywood (CBCP) Patricia Billings (OIW/ Milet Publishing) The projects G-BOOK 1 and 2 (Gender Identity: Child Readers and Library Collections and European teens as readers and creators in gender-positive narratives) aim to promote gender positive children’s and young adult literature in terms of roles and models, a literature that is open-minded, plural, varied, free from stereotypes, and that encourages respect and diversity. The first part of the webinar develops a critical-theoretical reflection on literature for children and young adults from a gender perspective and on its translation. In particular, the speakers discuss: gender representations and stereotypes families male and female characters LGBTQ+ issues and the G-BOOK European projects. The second part explores case studies of LGBTQ+ themed illustrated books in English and French translated into Italian. The speakers analyze both the paratext and the text itself, showing how in the transfer from one language and culture to another there are some shifts and changes, which are not necessarily questionable, but however present the source text in a new light and produce a different effect on the target reader.
