CHOICE AND CHILDHOOD
CHOICE AND CHILDHOOD

Summary/Abstract: Unlike the geographical space which can be mapped, the literary space present in children's literature has some peculiarities. It is a space to be lived/experienced in its entirety and it cancels out some temporal dimensions present in other reality realms. In reality a space can be engulfed in memory and it can refer to future dimensions, as well. In children's literature the space becomes a parallel universe. For this, the space absorbs the reality instead of just making room for it. The space becomes a new reality, changing its course, as reflected in the book edited by Danielle Russell, “Containing Childhood. Space and Identity in Children's Literature”.
