Sommario/riassunto

The late 1990's and early 2000's witnessed a surge in the publication and popularity of autobiographical writings about childhood. Linking literary and cultural studies, Contesting Childhood draws on a varied selection of works from a diverse range of authorsù from first-time to experienced writers. Kate Douglas explores Australian accounts of the Stolen Generation, contemporary American and British narratives of abuse, the bestselling memoirs of Andrea Ashworth, Augusten Burroughs, Robert Drewe, Mary Karr, Frank McCourt, Dave Pelzer, and Lorna Sage, among many others. Drawing on trauma and memory studies and theories of authorship and readership, Contesting



Childhood offers commentary on the triumphs, trials, and tribulations that have shaped this genre. Douglas examines the content of the narratives and the limits of their representations, as well as some of the ways in which autobiographies of youth have become politically important and influential. This study enables readers to discover how stories configure childhood within cultural memory and the public sphere.

Sommario/riassunto

Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) ist mit seinen eleganten Gemälden und meisterhaften Holzschnitten der international renommierteste Künstler Japans. Als ein Meister der Ukiyo-e-Kunst transferierte er alleine diese Kunstform von einem einfachen, auf Abbildungen von Kurtisanen und berühmten Schauspielern fokussierten Stil zu einem gehobeneren Stil, der die Schönheit der Natur durch Landschaften und Tierwelten darstellt. Der Stil und die Gegenstände in seiner Kunst entwickelten sich so oft weiter, wie er seinen Namen änderte. Aber Hokusais künstlerisches Talent blieb beständig, und er hatte eine ei
