Śmierć w literaturze i kulturze dziecięcej, czyli o problemach dziecięcej tanatologii
Journal Title: Amor Fati - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
In the literature for children and young people have always existed taboo topics. One of them is the problem of death and suffering. Topics considered by an adult to be difficult, it doesn’t have to be this same for a child, and art and appropriately selected stories can help tame the fears, troublesome thoughts (in line with the "pedagogy of death", in line with the "literature of darkness"). To "sad fairy tale" need to enable classic fairy tales created, eg. by the Brothers Grimm, as well as contemporary post-modern fairy tales (texts by Neil Gaiman). But books related to death and suffering are not only works of art (richly illustrated), but also popular scientific publications. The purpose of these texts is to present the child death issues, assistance in coming to terms with the loss and pain. Adult must show child the world as a whole, without undue simplifications to create humans of a certain sensibility, capable of empathy and understanding. The literature teaches how to called emotions and choose what valuable.
