Sommario/riassunto

Les écrivains pour la jeunesse sont-ils des auteurs à part entière, ainsi que certains d'entre eux le réclament publiquement ? Près de quarante-cinq ans après les déclarations de R. Barthes sur « la mort de l'auteur », une telle revendication trouve, bien sûr, son origine dans le décalage entre la légitimité encore fluctuante de ce secteur de l'édition et son dynamisme reconnu. Mais l'affirmation naît peut-être aussi d'un retour progressif de l'auteur dans la réflexion théorique et critique, ou bien encore de sa présence diversifiée dans les pratiques scolaires de lecture de la littérature. S'interrogeant sur la situation complexe d'aujourd'hui, les quinze contributeurs de l'ouvrage questionnent la notion d'auteur pour la jeunesse dans différentes directions, à partir des approches variées qui ont construit la réflexion sur l'auctorialité. Pour ce faire, ils mettent en pleine lumière romans et albums, de C. Grenier, S. Morgenstern, B. Poncelet, G. Lemoine, Sara et quelques autres contemporains. Pour esquisser une mise en perspective historique, ils se tournent aussi du côté d'Homère, P.-J. Hetzel, P. Berna, ainsi que des très récents N. Schneegans et D. Pennac. De l'édition à l'école, certaines pratiques actuelles sont ainsi sondées avec précision. Même si elle ne paraît pas appelée à prendre la première place, au détriment des autres instances de la littérature, il semble bien que la notion d'auteur pour la jeunesse présente un intérêt certain dans les activités de lecture littéraire. L'ouvrage suggère ainsi une clarification des rôles que l'on peut faire jouer à cette figure de premier plan.

Sommario/riassunto

About one-third of the world's population currently lives under pluri-legal systems where governments hold individuals subject to the purview of ethno-religious rather than national norms in respect to family law. How does the state-enforcement of these religious family laws impact fundamental rights and liberties? What resistance strategies do people employ in order to overcome the disabilities and limitations these religious laws impose upon their rights? Based on archival research, court observations and interviews with individuals from three countries, Yüksel Sezgin shows that governments have often intervened in order to impress a particular image of subjectivity upon a society, while people have constantly challenged the interpretive monopoly of courts and state-sanctioned religious institutions, re-negotiated their rights and duties under the law, and changed the system from within. He also identifies key lessons and best practices for the integration of universal human rights principles into religious legal systems.
