COUTO, Caroline e HILLESHEIM, Betina. Children's Literature: Conversations with Contemporary Migrations. Lit. teor. hist. crit. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.217-244. Epub 21-Jul-2021. ISSN 0123-5931. https://doi.org/10.15446/lthc.v23n2.94880.
This paper approaches children's literature as a field of production whose aesthetic and political effects multiplies the possible modes of existence, calling us to an ethical disposition to interrogate the world. The research about children's literature, mindful of contemporary phenomena, gains relevance when considering the welcoming processes of those who migrate, therefore, of alterity. Considering these premises, the article analyses the relations between children's literature and the great waves of contemporary migration, leaning on the works of Latin American authors. Thus, it argues that, between children's literature and the journey through seas and deserts, lines of migrant childhoods are embedded as two points of beginnings that signals the aesthetic, ethical, and political effects of literature.
