PAR CUR. CREATIVITY FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH

The book "Par cur. Creativity for Children and Youth Once Again" consists of twelve texts of an analytical and interpretative nature, preceded by an interview of the editors with Aleksander Nawarecki. The volume is conceived as a collective attempt to express and work through the not always conscious debt that professional interpreters: literary scholars, their historians and theorists, and linguists incurred in childhood from the readings they read at that time. It is also a pretext to use professional tools and competences in relation to readings from the field of so-called fourth literature. The book consists of texts for which the starting point was works of heterogeneous genres created at different times and of different caliber.

• Analysis of children's and youth literature
• Collection of analytical and interpretative texts
• Interview with Aleksander Nawarecki
• Attempt to express debt to childhood readings
• Application of professional interpretation tools
• Diversity of genres of works

This book is an invitation to look again at children's and youth literature, this time from the perspective of a researcher and interpreter. The authors of the texts, literary historians and theorists, and linguists, share their reflections on the readings that shaped them in childhood. They analyze works that were often underestimated or treated as less valuable, discovering new meanings and values in them.

This publication is a valuable source of knowledge for students, teachers and all those interested in children's and youth literature. It can also be an inspiration for their own research and interpretations. This book shows that literature for children and youth can be as important and valuable as literature for adults, and its analysis can bring a lot of satisfaction and discoveries.
