- Abstract
- This paper explores a number of children’s and young adults’ books in relation to artistic representations of the world of young people. It considers such explorations in relation to what may be considered parody and/or forgery in literary representations of young people, based on the work of Bakhtin. Related pedagogical considerations in classrooms in primary and secondary schools are also explored. A number of works is examined as to ways in which parody and forgery figure in the writing, and ways in which these connect with adult concepts in their response to literary works which children and young adult readers engage throughout their years of schooling. The paper presents such conceptualisations in relation to children’s books as affording new ways of approaching reading and writing in classrooms and opening up spaces for literary and pedagogical responses that takes teachers and students beyond traditional and conventional referents. It explores the possibilities of creating spaces for exploring cultural, social, personal and critical identities by young people.; E1
