出版跨文化童书绘本：挑战与愿景
Publishing Cross-Cultural Picture Books: Challenges and Perspectives
Panel 叶俊良 (Chun-Liang Yeh), 林得楠 (Denon Lim Denan)
近二十年来世界有了不同的面貌：全球化的洗礼、新一代年轻父母价值观的演变与对未来世界的想像，让童书绘本的文化层面得到更多的关注。为迎合部分读者的猎奇心态而浮滥地置入文化符号、或者为了国际化而刻意抿除在地特色，这两种做法过犹不及。这座谈会将讨论儿童出版社，作者们在创造的过程，能致力让好故事与读者的经验和好奇心产生连结，为他们打开一扇面向世界的窗。
Global changes in the last two decades mean that the effects of globalisation, and changes in the values and envisioning of the world by a new-generation of parents have drawn more attention to the cultural aspects of children picture books. The two approaches of injecting cultural symbols superficially to cater to the hunger for novelty of some readers, and deliberately eliminating local characteristics for internationalisation are both overkills. This talk will discuss children's publishing, and the creative process by which authors strive to connect good stories with readers' experience and curiosity to open a window to the world for them.

叶俊良 (Chun-Liang Yeh) (Taiwan/France)
Chun-Liang Yeh grew up in Taiwan and founded the publishing house HongFei Cultures with Loïc Jacob in France in 2007. HongFei publishes about 10 new titles per year, most of which are picture books for children on three major themes : travelling, curiosity and relationships. “La Ballade de Mulan” with its outstanding illustration won the Chen Bochui Award in Shanghai in 2015. Chun-Liang Yeh, having been working with European partners for many years, is at ease in guiding creators so as to deliver picture books, including those with Asian cultural contents, that can be understood and appreciated by French readers.
