8TH INTERNATIONAL BROTHERS GRIMM AWARD TO BE PRESENTED TO DR. JEAN PERROT

The International Brothers Grimm Award is presented by the International Institute for Children's Literature and the Kinran Kai Foundation to an individual who has made exceptional achievements in the field of research in children's literature, or whose contributions to the research, promotion, and so on, of children's literature have been of special merit on an international scale. This award was established in 1987 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Osaka Otemae High School by the alumnus of that school, and of the Kinran Kai, and is administered as a joint project by IICLO and the Kinran Kai Foundation.

Dr. Jean Perrot

Past recipients, in chronological order, are: Dr. Klaus Doderer (Germany), Dr. Gote Klingberg (Sweden), Dr. James Fraser (U.S.A.), Mr. Torigoe Shin (Japan), Dr. Denise Escarpit (France), Dr. Theodor Bruggemann (Germany), and Dr. Jack Zipes (U.S.A.) Dr. Jean Perrot was born in France in 1937. In 1963 he received his Master's Degree in education from the Sorbonne's Department of English, qualifying to teach English. From 1971-75 he was an assistant lecturer in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Paris. In 1980 he was granted his Doctorate from the Department of Comparative Literature at the Sorbonne, presenting his dissertation 'Henry James and the Mythology of Decadence'. From 1981-1997 he has held the posts of Professor in the Comparative Literature Department of the University of Paris, and from 1994 to the present, Director of the International Charles Perrault Research Center. His publications include: "Les carnets d'illustrateurs:de l'image a l'oeuvre"( Paris:Cercle de la Librairie,2000) "Jeux et enjeux du livre d'enfance et de jeunesse"(Paris:Edition du Cercle de la Librairie, 1999), "Art baroque, art d'enfance"(Presses Universitaires de Nancy, 1991), "Henry James, une ecriture enigmatique"(Paris:Aubier, 1982), and "Mythe et litterature"(Paris:　1976). For over thirty years Dr. Jean Perrot has devoted his energies to the study of children's literature as one form of children's play, examining children's literature through comparative methodologies, and studying picture books and illustrations as iconography. In particular, the range of his vision and depth of his inquiry as demonstrated by his inclusion of works from Asian countries in his picture book research has attracted the attention of many researchers. In addition to acting as coordinator for a wide variety of symposia and international conferences, he has also shown their results by editing and publishing collections of high quality research papers. After retiring from his position at the University of Paris he established the Charles Perrault Research Centre, a facility for research in children's literature, in the city of Eaubonne. As the facility's director and one of its professors, he has endeavored to promote research in children's literature by each year offering researchers over twenty courses or symposia international in both content and scale. His endeavors in expanding international exchanges in the study of children's literature, such as assisting in the organization of the international conference held in Paris in 1991 as a member of the board of directors of the International Research Society for Children's Literature IRSCL taking part in international conferences in among others the U.S.A., Canada, Spain, Korea, Taiwan have been remarkable. For all of these activities Dr. Jean Perrot is highly regarded for his great influence on the internationalization of the study of children's literature. Dr. Perrot attended the award presentation ceremony held at IICLO on September 29, 2001, followed by his International Brothers Grimm Award Commemorative Lecture titled 'The Weight of a Butterfly's Wing'. Using a selection of 78 slides to examine visually how the butterfly as a symbol has been portrayed historically in picture books and illustrations, Dr. Perrot used a comparative cultural viewpoint to consider how the butterfly can be seen as a highly revelatory index for understanding systems of thought or culture. The text of Dr. Perrot's lecture will be published in the 17th issue of the IICLO Bulletin.

CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF IICLO

Early in June of this year an article with the headline 'Due to Osaka Prefecture's Financial Difficulties, the Closure of IICLO is Under Review' appeared in newspapers, eliciting in response a barrage of petitions to the Governor of Osaka from related organizations and foundations for the continuance of this institute. Arriving overseas, this news motivated many letters calling for the continuation of the institute, its maintenance, and expansion, to be sent to the Governor and the Board of Education, especially from those groups, institutions and researchers closely related to IICLO.

At present the organization of the institute is being structured by an outside group of interested professionals from various fields, with a hard look being taken at the projected image of the Institute in 10 years time. The results of this study are expected to be implemented from February, 2002.

Among those petitioning the Osaka prefectual government on be half of the Institute were;

Sandra Beckett, Ruth Bottigheimer, Theodor Bruggemann, Klaus Doderer, Hans-Heino Ewers, Zohreh Ghaeni, Ying Ji, Winfred Kaminski, Anita Kanna, Helen Kilpatrick, Ritta Kuivasmaki, Porn Anong Niyomka, Ram Kumar Panday, Sookkyung Park, Jean Perrot, Kimberley Reynolds, Bunsei Rin, Barbara Scharioth, Margarita Slavova, Rosmarie Tschirky, Kestutis Urba, Jack Zipes
