Course contents
The course poses the question whether it is possible to talk about children's imagination and if it wouldn'tbe better to talk about adult representations of childhood; it presents some historical metaphors of childhood; it analyses a certain kind ofchildren's literature andcinema as means through which a more authentic representation of childhood has been spread, a representation of it that does not seek to explain this age, but rather portrays it as definitly alien and different from the adult world.
