Second-generation Memory And Contemporary Childrens Literature Ghost Images

Winner Of The Childrens Literature Association Book Award This Book Visits A Range Of Textual Forms Including Diary, Novel, And Picturebook To Explore The Relationship Between Second-generation Memory And Contemporary Childrens Literature. Ulanowicz Argues That Second-generation Memory - Informed By Intimate Family Relationships, Textual Mediation, And Technology - Is Characterized By Vicarious, Rather Than Direct, Experience Of The Past. As Such, Childrens Literature Is Particularly Well-suited To The Representation Of Second-generation Memory, Insofar As Childrens Fiction Is Particularly Invested In The Transmission And Reproduction Of Cultural Memory, And Its Form Promotes The Formation Of Various Complex Intergenerational Relationships.
