Contributions by Megan De Roover, Jennifer Harrison, Sarah Jackson, Zoe Jaques, Nada Kujund?c, Ivana Milkovic, Niall NanceCarroll, Perry Nodelman, David Rudd, Jonathan Chun Ngai Tsang, Nicholas Tucker, Donna Varga, and Tim WadhamOne hundred years ago, disparate events culminated in one of the most momentous happenings in the history of children? literature. Christopher Robin Milne was born to A. A. and Dorothy ?aphne?Milne; Edward Bear, a lovable stuffed toy, arrived on the market; and a living, young bear named Winnie settled in at the London Zoo. The collaboration originally begun by the Milnes, E. H. and Florence Shepard, Winnie herself, and the many toys and personalities who fed into the Pooh legend continued to evolve throughout the twentieth and twentyfirst centuries to become a global phenomenon. Yet even a brief examination of this sensation reveals that Pooh and his adventures were from the onset marked by a rich complexity behind a seeming simplicity and innocence. This volume, after a decadeslong lull in concentrated Pooh scholarship, seeks to highlight the plurality of perspectives, modes, and interpretations these tales afford, especially after the Disney Corporation scooped its paws into the honeypot in the 1950s.Positioning Pooh: Edward Bear after One Hundred Years argues the doings of Pooh remain relevant for readers in a posthuman, informationcentric, mediasaturated, globalized age. Poohs forays destabilize social certainties on all levelslinguistic, ontological, legal, narrative, political, and so on. Through essays that focus on geography, language, narrative, characterization, history, politics, economics, and a host of other social and cultural phenomena, contributors to this volume explore how the stories open up discourses about identity, ethics, social relations, and notions of belonging. This first volume to offer multiple perspectives from multiple authors on the WinniethePooh books in a single collection focuses on and develops approaches that bring this classic of children? literature into the current era. Essays included not only are of relevance to scholars with an interest in Pooh, Milne, and the ?olden age?of children? literature, but also showcase the development of children? literature scholarship in step with exciting modern developments in literary theory.
