AbstractAbstractThe breakdown of boundaries between texts for children and texts for adults is a very widespread phenomenon in contempo- rary Western literature. In recent years, there has been a veritable influx of authors crossing the boundary in both directions. Based on a selection of novels and albums from a number of countries, this study examines the current tendency to produce literature for a double readership.

This paper considers first how the people of Britain and France have acquired their knowledge of the other country. Mass tourism is not favourable to understanding between nations and, on both sides of the Channel, the teaching of the other country's history has declined. The media tend to spread stereotypes, which are amazingly long-lived, especially those on "national characters". However, there is no fixity in images, which change, though very slowly, most of the time - hence gaps with reality. The creation of images often is politically-motivated. Images of the other country vary according to social status and to political opinions. Despite their resistance to change, images undergo fluctuations, which have been frequent since 1904. Presently, Britain's image in France is complex, but many Frenchmen are not much interested in their neighbour. On the other hand, Englishmen are the only West-European nation where large numbers of people, under the tabloids' hate their neighbours — the Germans and above all the French.

AbstractIt is common, in modernist art criticism, to denigrate cause and effect relations between the two ends of the aesthetic chain, the conception and the reception of the work. But why must we consider the cinema of shot-reverse shot and the “domino theory” to be essentially bad? Why, since Adorno, should we feel ashamed for appreciating a film because it gives us pleasure, or because its “use-value” consists of a particular utility? As such, the following seeks to combat these prejudices by demonstrating, notably, that they stem from ideas that are not universal, but produced in specific sociohistoric fields, and which uphold a certain form of irrationalism.

SummaryBased on observations of students aged 10 during literature class in a French primary school, the author notes how these students represent the writing activity, learning to write, and related literacy practices. The evolution of their relationship to writing has an effect on the construction of their “auctorial posture” and on their cultural openness. This openness is always linked to the development of a positive relation to writing and a consciousness to reading/writing literacy relations. In this way, a cultural approach to literature can be constructed which requires sharing with the community of readers and writers developed within the French class.
