Children’s literature focusses on the process of identity formation of its young readers and for this reason it has always been connected with models of social behaviour. By imaginatively engaging with the proposed narratives, the child experiences society’s and the nation’s embodied practices. However, there are also instances of resistance to accepted worldviews through unconventional characters who foster a critical perspective on the issues at the centre of the narrative. The re-reading of Enid Blyton’s successful Famous Five series of the 1950s by Bruno Vincent focuses on Brexit’s narrative space to reflect upon the changes we are witnessing in our contemporary society and try to understand their sociocultural, economic, and political implications. Brexit is based on nostalgic images of Englishness, linked to an idealisation of the past as a Golden Age for Great Britain. Within this context, children’s Brexlit offers an interesting source for jurisprudential debate, creating a juridical forum for both adult and children’s audiences.

儿童文学与国家意识:布鲁诺·文森特的《五人脱欧岛》(2016)和《五人逃离脱欧岛》(2017),伊妮德·布莱顿撰文

儿童文学关注年轻读者的身份形成过程,因此它始终与社会行为模式联系在一起。通过富有想象力地参与所提出的叙述,孩子可以体验社会和国家的具体实践。然而,也有一些非传统人物抵制公认的世界观的例子,这些人物对叙事的中心问题提出了批判性的观点。布鲁诺·文森特(Bruno Vincent)对伊妮德·布莱顿(Enid Blyton)成功的《20世纪50年代著名五人》系列的重读重点关注英国脱欧的叙事空间,以反思我们在当代社会中目睹的变化,并试图理解其社会文化、经济和政治影响。英国脱欧是基于英国人的怀旧形象,与将过去理想化为英国黄金时代有关。在此背景下,儿童《Brexlit》为法学辩论提供了一个有趣的来源,为成人和儿童观众创建了一个司法论坛。
