We finish off our eggs-travaganza with an ebook from our Children’s Literature Criticism and Film Studies sections, edited by Zoe Jaques:
Chapter 7: “Remember me”: intergenerational dialogue in disney-pixar animation (pp. 85-98) written by Zoe Jaques
Chapter 11: “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall”: the mediating child and the ethics of cohabitation (pp. 147-161) written by Blanka Grzegorczyk
This chapter reads post-9/11 children’s fiction such as Sita Brahmachari’s Tender Earth (2017) and Rachel Anderson’s Asylum (2011) as a counter-narrative to the voices of anti-immigrant rhetoric that reduce human beings to the status of objects and threats. This reading also engages with post-terror writing for the young as an expression of a common humanity that involves young readers in a recognition of its fundamental condition of precariousness and as an opening up to globality that seeks to conceive of the cosmo-political solidarity required by anti-racism as a cross-generational and -cultural tackling of imbalances of power. The chapter traces the ways in which Brahmachari and Anderson credit their young protagonists with the capacity to mobilise such alliances. It discusses these efforts of solidarity as shaped by a rearticulated humanist ethic focused on the precariousness of all life and by principled opposition to the nationalist, racist, and rights-stripping thinking with which the popular language of immigration has been entangled.
