Topographien Der Kindheit

Topographien der Kindheit

Orte und Räume von Kindheit (und Jugend) werden in literarischen sowie medialen Inszenierungen erinnert und imaginiert. Die aktuelle Topographieforschung eröffnet für die Raumerkundung dieser Kindheits-Landschaften neue Perspektiven. Als Grundlagenforschung vermessen die Beiträge des Bandes das Terrain und untersuchen kinder- und jugendliterarische sowie -mediale Raumkonstruktionen in literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher sowie interdisziplinärer Perspektive. Literarische Annäherungen von Jenny Erpenbeck und Peter Bichsel (im Gespräch) erlauben zudem neue Blickrichtungen auf Topographien von Kindheit und Jugend.

Spaces of Adolescence

Adolescence is a phase of transition, change and upheaval. These processes are often translated into movements through space in literary representations. The narrated space is to be read in its construction and semantics as a complex symbol carrier that is able to connect different dimensions with one another. The study develops, with reference to cultural-scientific spatial theories, a methodical model to analyze current youth novels from a topographical perspective and thus to discuss the interweaving of space, movement and growing up. In the cultural studies and narratological view of (narrative) spaces of adolescence, new trends and developments in youth literature after 2000 manifest themselves. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Räume der Adoleszenz by Anna Stemmann, published by J.B. Metzler, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
