Cultures of Image and Word: Perspectives on the Histories of Comics and Children’s Literature

18.9.2024 klo 10:15 -  klo 16:35 Publicum, Pub 209, Assistentinkatu 7, Turun yliopisto https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Assistentinkatu+7%2C+Turku%2C+Suomi
--------------------------------------------
This one-day symposium showcases current research on comics and children’s literature in their various historical and social contexts in Finland from the late 1700s until today. What does the history of Finnish comics look like if it is written with the focus on minorities, their comics and the representations of minority issues and identities? How were illustrations and other visuals used in early nineteenth-century books for children and young people? How has illustration been approached in Finland-Swedish reviews of children’s literature?

The program includes a keynote address by Anna Nordenstam, Professor of Comparative Literature at University of Gothenburg, and presentations by researchers from the three Turku/Åbo-based projects Diversity in Finnish Comics History: Minorities and Self-Representation, Becoming a Reading Nation? Children’s Books and Educational Literature in Finland, 1790–1850, and Tippelill – Swedish Children’s Literature Research and Critique in Finland. The symposium is the inaugural seminar of the Diversity in Finnish Comics History: Minorities and Self-Representation project and organized jointly by the three projects.

The work of the three projects is enabled by the generous support of the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland, the Kone Foundation, and the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland.

The symposium is open to the public. Please, register to the symposium by 11 September 2024 through this link: https://link.webropolsurveys.com/EP/439CEF65E77A339A.
