Article is deeply rooted in the history of society, presents the historical and socio-cultural situation of phenomenon of playing, children’s games and the role of children’s literature between the Enlightenment and Romanticism and shows that especially the middle class does not occupy an outstanding position. On the contrary, the middle class belongs to the most sceptical social forces. The central values of the middle class – especially the puritan, Calvinist und pietistic parts of it – are different: industriousness, diligence, asceticism, the sacrifice of pleasure, efficiency and rationality. In the bourgeois use of time, all idleness basically counts as suspicious, all playing as a useless waste of time. This attitude is reinforced by the polemical delimitation from the noble and courtly lifestyle, in which all kinds of games have a central place and which, for this reason, is viewed as parasitic. Article pays attention also to the German word for play or game (in German, there is just one word for this, “Spiel”), which can be used for mental games, word play, but also the performance on stage or in an orchestra. Beyond this, text emphasised how to classify genres based on play with language, with sense and nonsense, as well as literary patterns, and genres such as nonsense poetry and parody, as part of intellectual culture rather than part of play culture.

Tra le forme della letteratura per l’infanzia che si occupano del complesso rapporto tra umanità e natura, il fumetto costituisce un genere in grado di offrire diversi spunti di riflessione per ragazzi/e sul tema. In particolare, la fiction ha recentemente rivisitato il movimento scout, aprendolo a nuovi valori in relazione all’identità e al rapporto con l’ambiente. Il presente articolo prende in considerazione due serie a fumetti sullo scoutismo, Hilda (Luke Pearson, 2010–2019) e Lumberjanes (Noelle Stevenson, 2014–2020). Entrambe narrano la storia di un gruppo eterogeneo di personaggi alle prese con attività di scoutismo: le storie, ambientate in contesti naturali, ritraggono la crescita di giovani e peculiari personaggi che, proprio attraverso il contatto costante con l’ambiente naturale, svilupperanno un forte rispetto tanto per la natura, quanto per il gruppo dei pari, in una convivenza pacifica, seppur avventuriera, con l’ambiente e con le diverse forme di vita che lo abitano. Il saggio intende elaborare un primo stato dell’arte che evidenzi nuovi filoni interpretativi in questo genere letterario attraverso una lente ecocritica ed ecofemminista. Lo studio esplora in ottica comparativa le due opere, così da mostrare come le narrazioni a fumetti possano presentare interessanti dinamiche ecologiche ed egualitarie, in questo caso attraverso lo strumento dello scoutismo.

Among the forms of children’s literature that deal with the complex relationship between humanity and nature, comics can offer various insights on the topic for boys and girls. In particular, children’s stories have recently revitalized the scout movement, interpreting it through new values related to identity, gender and ecology. This paper will consider two comic book series on scouting, Hilda (Luke Pearson, 2011–2019) and Lumberjanes (Noelle Stevenson, 2014–2020). Both works tell the story of a diverse group of characters involved in scouting activities: the stories, developed in natural settings, portray the growth of young and peculiar characters who, through constant contact with the environment, show a strong respect for both nature and the peer group, in a peaceful and adventurous coexistence with the environment and the different forms of life that inhabit it. The essay aims to develop a first state of the art that highlights new interpretative strands in this literary genre through an ecocritical and ecofeminist lens. The study explores the two works in a comparative perspective, so as to show how comic book narratives can present interesting ecological and egalitarian dynamics, in this case through the experience of scouting.

In the context of diversity in the classroom, it is becoming increasingly important to teach values that can help our pupils and students to achieve their full personal development. In response to a reality in which pupils are confronted with controversial and even conflicting situations, values-based education is seen as an ever more pressing need. Having made this affirmation, it only remains to determine the most appropriate method to provide value education in a classroom context. Given that children’s literature represents a strategy that is increasingly being used due to its many benefits, the authors propose that education in values should be based on stories, more specifically stories that we may refer to as “psycho-emotional”, since they encourage thinking of a personal, introspective nature. The introduction into the school of stories that can form the basis for values education and, more specifically, help to build self-esteem, may be key to developing a resilient attitude in response to the personal problems that pupils might face. This may be particularly true at the infant and primary education stages.

W kontekście różnorodności, z jaką spotykamy się w klasie szkolnej, coraz ważniejsze staje się wychowanie do wartości, które może pomóc uczniom w osiągnięciu pełnego rozwoju osobistego. W obecnych realiach, gdy coraz więcej uczniów napotyka kontrowersyjne, a nawet konfliktowe sytuacje, dostrzegana jest paląca potrzeba edukacji opartej na wartościach. Po stwierdzeniu tego faktu pozostaje tylko określenie najbardziej odpowiedniej metody wprowadzenia wychowania do wartości w kontekście zajęć w klasie. Ponieważ korzystanie z literatury dziecięcej stanowi strategię przyjmowaną coraz częściej ze względu na wiele korzyści wychowawczych, autorzy proponują, aby wychowanie do wartości opierało się na tekstach literackich, a konkretnie na narracjach, które można nazwać „psycho-emocjonalnymi” ‒ zachęcającymi do refleksji o charakterze osobistym, introspektywnym. Wprowadzenie do szkoły opowiadań, które mogą stanowić podstawę wychowania do wartości oraz przyczyniać się do budowania poczucia własnej wartości, może być kluczem do rozwijania postawy rezyliencji w odpowiedzi na problemy osobiste, z którymi muszą zmierzyć się uczniowie. Wydaje się to szczególnie istotne już na etapie rozwoju przedszkolnego oraz edukacji podstawowej.
