Horror Films for Children

Autor: Catherine Lester

Número de Páginas: 233

Children and horror are often thought to be an incompatible meeting of audience and genre, beset by concerns that children will be corrupted or harmed through exposure to horror media. Nowhere is this tension more clear than in horror films for adults, where the demonic child villain is one of the genre's most enduring tropes. However, horror for children is a unique category of contemporary Hollywood cinema in which children are addressed as an audience with specific needs, fears and desires, and where child characters are represented as sympathetic protagonists whose encounters with the horrific lead to cathartic, subversive and productive outcomes. Horror Films for Children examines the history, aesthetics and generic characteristics of children's horror films, and identifies the 'horrific child' as one of the defining features of the genre, where it is as much a staple as it is in adult horror but with vastly different representational, interpretative and affective possibilities. Through analysis of case studies including blockbuster hits (Gremlins), cult favourites (The Monster Squad) and indie darlings (Coraline), Catherine Lester asks, what happens to the horror genre, and...

Reaching Reluctant Young Readers

Autor: Rob Reid

Número de Páginas: 163

Reaching Reluctant Young Readers features 150 middle-grade books. Each profiled title has the potential to hook the reluctant reader and lure them to read the entire book. To specifically encourage elementary and middle-school-age reluctant children to read, there is first a pitch to get the reader’s attention. That is followed by a short reading passage to “set the hook” and encourage the young person to read the rest of the book on their own. Further, the book contains several hundred additional recommended titles. The books selected for this collection were chosen following the criteria of reluctant reader books created by the Quick Picks committee sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association. While these guidelines were designed for young adult books, they also work well for middle-grade books. The criteria include: clear writing (no convoluted long sentences with sophisticated vocabulary),high interest “hook” in the first few pages, well-defined characters, interesting plot, andfamiliar themes.

Le Cinéma de Frankenstein

Autor: Jean-pierre Andrevon

Número de Páginas: 200

En écrivant Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne à 19 ans, Mary Shelley ne s’attendait sûrement pas à ce que son livre connaisse un succès tel qu’il serait adapté plus d’une centaine de fois au cinéma et à la télévision. Le Cinéma de Frankensteinrevient sur ces œuvres filmiques et sur ce qu’elles ont apporté au mythe originel, l’enrichissant pour certaines, le trahissant pour d’autres : du travail fondateur de James Whale avec Boris Karloff dans les années 30 à la toute récente vision de Yórgos Lánthimos avec Pauvres créatures, en passant par la période Hammer où Frankenstein abandonne le noir et blanc des origines pour la couleur flamboyante du Technicolor. L’histoire de Shelley a inspiré de grands cinéastes (Terence Fisher, Tim Burton, Kenneth Brannagh, bientôt Guillermo del Toro) mais aussi toute une foule de réalisateurs de série B, voire de série Z, qui ont pensé que cette histoire légendaire leur garantirait le succès. Mis à toutes les sauces, Frankenstein a viré à la parodie, est devenu prétexte à des scènes érotiques, alors que le monstre prenait les traits d’une femme, d’un ado, d’un chien. Travail malicieux et...

Número de Páginas: 337

According to recent research, the best way to make new connections in a child’s brain is by building on something already known. A child who loves a book will listen to it repeatedly, maintaining interest. Using a selected book in a number of consecutive preschool storytimes, but presenting it differently each time, can help children learn new skill sets. This book presents a new approach to storytime, one that employs repetition with variety to create an experience which helps children connect and engage with the story on a higher level. Diamant-Cohen, recently awarded the 2013 ASCLA Leadership and Professional Achievement Award, and Hetrick offer a year’s worth of activities specifically designed to address multiple intelligences through a repetition-based process.
