We find a Strange Animal among us. An animal of whom we have never heard before! An animal who carries her family about with her in her pocket!” — Rabbit\n\n\n\n\nINVITED KEYNOTERS INCLUDE:\n\n\n\n\nLara Saguisag\, Associate Professor and Georgiou Chair in Children’s Literature and Literacy at New York University and President of the Children’s Literature Association\n\n\n\nA Pooh Panel with Jennifer Harrison\, editor of Positioning Pooh: Edward Bear after 100 Years; volume contributor and Millersville University professor Sarah E.

A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh\, published in 1926\, provides a springboard for reflection on the role of classic children’s literature. This online symposium seeks presentation proposals from authors\, illustrators\, librarians\, publishers\, educators\, and scholars in any field. Possible topics for exploration include: \n\n\n\n\n\n    \n                        \n        \n            \n                Review Possible Topics for Exploration                \n                \n            \n            \n                \n\nClose readings of how the Pooh stories interpellate young readers into social structures. Who’s out\, who’s in? \n\n\nHow does imaginative play socialize children into adult behaviors? \n\n\nHow does adult nostalgia contribute to classic children’s literature? \n\n\nWhat is the role of illustrations by E. H. Shepard and/or later artists? \n\n\nWhat is the purpose of cuteness? What does it cover up? How does cuteness integrate with other aspects of storytelling and interpretation\, and toward what effect? \n\n\nComparative readings of Pooh with other classics or with contemporary pairings. \n\n\nCommercialization and/or Disnification of Pooh and other classic texts. \n\n\nExaminations of media adaptations or translations into other languages. What is kept? What is reinterpreted? How do those choices reflect ideology? \n\n\nExploration of imaginative play and/or toys in children’s literature. \n\n\nTheoretical approaches—colonialism\, whiteness\, psychoanalytical\, animal studies/anthropomorphism\, food\, boyhood\, etc. \n\n\nWhat is the purpose of literary criticism\, especially for books that are written primarily for children (not adults) to read? \n\n\nWhat do we do when books feel like they aren’t written for us (because of race\, class\, gender\, and other aspects of identity)? \n\n\nHow do our readings/experiences of a text change when we read it multiple times? \n\n\nHow does the intergenerational evolution of our engagement with classics call attention to new issues and questions over time?
