Subject: CFP: Children's Literature and Narrative Theory (5/1/06;
collection)


Paper Call 

Submissions are invited for a book-length collection of essays that 
explores the narrative peculiarities, innovations, and conventions of 
children's and/or young adult literature. All narratological issues and 
approaches are welcome, including such matters as the narrator/narratee 
relationship, perspective, focalization, voice, implied 
author/audience, embedded/frame narrative, chronotopes, plot dynamics, 
character construction, the ethics of narrative, genre/media’s 
influence on children’s narrative, series/formula fiction, metafiction, 
mode, paratextuality, intertextuality, and more. Submissions might 
focus on a close narratological reading of one or more texts that tell 
us something about children’s fiction, or they might be more broadly 
theoretical in approach, including examining the intersection of 
narrative theory and other critical approaches taken in the study of 
children’s and/or young adult literature. Please include a two-page 
abstract, tentative project title, working bibliography, curriculum 
vita, and e-mail contact information.

Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2006 (e-mail submissions are welcome).
