Borders of Empathy in Children’s Fiction, Hardcover by García-gonzález, Macarena, ISBN 1032854456, ISBN-13 9781032854458, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK "The Borders of Empathy in Children's Fiction centres the question of how reading fiction develops our moral imagination and our capacities to think and feel with others. The question is approached with a good dose of skepticism revising tensions betweenethical, aesthetical and pedagogical dimensions when certain books, films and other cultural materials are recommended for children. This volume examines how texts addressed to children are meant to assist socioemotional education and whether we put forward adultist assumptions around such conceptualisations of the emotional. Th is organized in ten chapters with some of them focusing on 'difficult' themes -such as violence, xenophobia, death, migration, gender and social exclusions- and some otherson more general relationships between emotions, media and education. The chapters combine textual analysis of recommended cultural materials for children with insights from empirical research and ethnographic approaches to children's cultures. A common thread throughout th is the open question about the epistemic injustices in knowing children and childhood and how this may be overcome by shifting our research practices with posthumanist philosophies"-- Provided by publisher.
