Literatura infantil y juvenil colombiana: problemas, tendencias, obras y autores (1990-2012)

Abstract

In Colombia, there are authors and works that describe children's and youth literature (LIJ), whether from the idea of adaptation for children and young people of “great literature” books for adults, or literature written for these populations. or literature that children and young people appropriate for themselves, based on the recommendation of an adult or from social networks and the mass media. Starting from the question: what are the problems, trends, authors and most representative works of Colombian children's and youth literature in the last twenty years? and with the interest in accounting for the evolution of Colombian literature and the place that the LIJ has been forging in it, this book presents the result of an investigation that investigated issues such as the concepts of children's and youth literature, the representations of child and young people as reading subjects, the place of the LIJ in the constitution of the canon of Colombian literature, and periodization within the framework of problems and trends of the Colombian LIJ, between 1990 and 2012
