Don Quijote travels in Europe: children’s adaptations of a world classic
- 👤 Speaker: Laura Vinas-Valle, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha
- 📅 Date & Time: Wednesday 06 June 2012, 17:00 - 19:00
- 📍 Venue: Faculty of Education, 184 Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 8PQ, room GS5
Abstract
As part of a three-year project on Don Quijote de la Mancha’s literary and visual adaptations and translations for children in Europe, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Centro de Estudios Cervantinos, this talk will examine a selection of illustrations from adaptations of Don Quijote from the UK, France, Greece, Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands published from 1800 until today. This will be followed by a close textual analysis of Greek and Spanish picturebooks to contrast such issues as the selection processes employed so as to contemporarize and render this adult classic “suitable” for twenty-first century young readers in two different cultural systems, processes that are obviously linked with ideas of suitability and, therefore, censorship.
Series This talk is part of the Centre for Research in Children's Literature at Cambridge series.
