论全球化时代中国儿童文艺的民族化走向

Abstract

Lots of foreign children’s literature and arts have been coming into China in the global age so that Chinese native artists try to find a national way to compete with them. The pursuit of national style is mainly manifested through native picture books, fantasy and cartoons which have developed quickly under the foreign influence. The materials, subjects and artistic presentation techniques employ many nationally cultural signs and contain traditional spirits in order to cultivate children’s recognition of national culture and to construct their cultural identity. The national trend doesn’t mean to be conservative nationalism because they also borrow from foreign cultures while they pursue nationalization, paying attention to the connection and transformation between tradition and modernity. It is important for Chinese children’s literature and arts in the global period about how to integrate national and foreign sources of culture and arts to seek development and innovation.
