| Summary: | Exile and fantasy, or even the collective myth of returning home, played a founding role in the emergence of children's literature and its publishing framework in certain Middle Eastern countries (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon). As a space for glorifying Palestinian resistance, even a call for armed struggle in the 1970s, and as a space to preserve the memory of the suffering experienced by Palestinians, the picture book is an intensely political space embodying the utopia of a united Arab world. Since the 2000s, there has been a more sentimental treatment of these themes, often conveyed through the metaphor of flight, as if returning to the country had become a dream. Discussion in favor of the pan-Arab project has also paved the way for new themes, and perhaps it is now time, at the intersection of literary Arabic and various dialects, that we must read traces of this identity project through the linguistic work of picture books, which entails a linguistic reappropriation. |
