  Article:   THEORIZING ON LADYBIRDS AND CHILDREN’S LITERATURE.

Authors:  MIHAELA MUDURE. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Theorizing on Ladybirds and Children’s Literature. This paper is meant to be a close reading of Hanif Kureishi’s children’s story Ladybirds for Lunch. After exploring the symbolic and the narrative structures embedded into the text-ure of this story, the author will extrapolate her conclusions and place this text in the context of Hanif Kureishi’s work and in postcolonial children’s literature. Starting from Kureishi’s short story and analyzing the relation between children’s literature and postcolonial literature we shall offer a new term “infantible“ that, hopefully, is able to catch the essence of a cultural situation.

Keywords: children’s literature, childhood, adult, postcolonial, Kureishi, infantible, symbolic, satire
