Après l'obtention d'un master en traduction, Justine Houyaux s'est lancée dans l'aventure du doctorat à la Faculté de Traduction et d'Interprétation de l'UMONS (Belgique), où elle enseigne la langue de Shakespeare et prépare une thèse sur les realia dans les traductions françaises d' "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" et de "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There" de Lewis Carroll. Elle aime les tortues et déteste les carottes râpées.
The Child and the Book 2012 aims to examine the foundations of children’s literature criticism. Taking a philosophical approach, we intend to find some common ground among the increasingly scattered areas of research, to think about definitions, and to work towards a more coherent framework. How can philosophical perspectives benefit our discipline? Conversely, how can children’s literature research contribute to the field of philosophical knowledge?
Lewis Carroll’s timeless novels, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, have fascinated children and adults alike since their publication over 150 years ago. Alice in Wonderland at Tate Liverpool is the first exhibition of its kind to explore how Lewis Carroll’s stories have influenced the visual arts, inspiring generations of artists. The exhibition will provide insight into the creation of the novels and the inspiration they have provided for artists through the decades.
The starting point for the exhibition is Carroll’s original manuscript, written in 1864 as a present for ten year old Alice Liddell. Carroll’s own illustrations ensured that images were central to the story, creating a visual world which took on a life of its own.
