September 11-13, the Cotsen Children’s
Library at Princeton University will host “Putting the Figure on
the Map:
Imagining Sameness and Difference for Children.”
This
interdisciplinary program co-organized
by Emer O’Sullivan (Leuphana University Lüneburg) and Andrea
Immel (Cotsen Children's Library Princeton) will draw on the
approaches in imagology,
history, anthropology, psychology, and literary criticism. It
will focus on
modes of expression arising within or without the classroom that
either target
children or appropriate discourses for them that create
competing ,
complimentary, or contradictory images of foreign nations and
their peoples. The
program will also feature a session where primary resources from
the Cotsen
collection will be highlighted.
