A particular importance is usually ascribed to the years around \u201868. Some scholars have even termed the long 1960s \u201ca mini renaissance\u201d during which artistic standards and values, as well as ideas about society and the individual\u2019s place in it, were transformed in certain ways (Marwick 1998). In the narrative of the Nordic countries, the 20th century is generally described as a development from poor, agricultural and traditional societies to industrial and modern welfare states where the state played a strong role in the realization of equality and high social security. At the same time critical narratives of different ideological colours arose in the 1960s to challenge the success story of the modern state. This Barnboken theme wants to highlight that the image of the child played a significant role in these different narratives and thus stimulate further investigations of what has been dubbed a golden age for Nordic children\u2019s and YA literature. In this special theme, authors are therefore invited to consider the years around \u201968 in relation to children\u2019s literature and culture from different perspectives.<\/p>\n
Topics for this special theme on the years around \u201968 might include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n
Children\u2019s literature and the social and aesthetic transformation of culture;
\nExperimental ideas of child and childhood inscribed in texts and images for children;
\nThe use of children\u2019s literature in relation to different social movements, such as the peace movement, the new left, environmentalists, the women\u2019s movement, citizen groups, and minority groups;
\nThe expansion and diversification of children\u2019s publishing;
\nGenres and modes of children\u2019s literature, such as the YA novel, poetry, social realism, fairy tales, and fantasy;
\nMotifs and themes of children\u2019s literature, such as poverty, vulnerability, power, participation, gender, ethnicity, masculinity, nature;
\nChildren\u2019s literature and the promotion of children\u2019s rights around \u201968;
\nNarratives of the modern Nordic countries, the Nordic welfare state, and the nation
