描画発達論の最新状況：2009年9月出版予定「マンガは越境する（世界思想社）」拙稿より抜粋
世界思想社よりこの９月に出版予定の「マンガは越境する」に編集代表の一人でもある筑紫女子学園大学の大城房美さんよりお誘いがあり、原稿を出す事になった。米国で巡回した少女マンガ展示会をもとに米国でのマンガの受容についてというのが、元々の内容だったのだけれど、わがままを言わせていただいて、美術教育に関連して、マンガの特徴について興味を持つきっかけになった、描画の発達論の文化的特異性（そしてグローバル化への移行パターン）についてもここで書かせてもらうことにした。
ここではその部分を抜粋してご紹介。この抜粋部分の図表や参考文献情報もここでは省略しています。まだ出版されていないことと、本文の掲載に関しては出版もとより許可をいただく必要がありますのでね。（＊下記、日本語の仮題タイトルをクリックするとその抜粋文PDFにリンク！）。

本の紹介：Manga High Literacy, Identity, and Coming of Age in an Urban High School by Michael Bitz
前にもこのブログ(3/20/09)で紹介したマイケルビッズの本「Manga High Literacy, Identity, and Coming of Age in an Urban High School 」がとうとうハーバード大出版より上梓された。
この本の紹介としていろんな人が宣伝文を書いているが私もその一人。下記のこれらを紹介。ハーバード大出版の紹介サイトからの抜粋。
From the Foreword:
"In Manga High, Bitz describes a project that is the sort of Holy Grail that many an educator pursues. Like the manga club at MLKHS, the afterschool clubs founded through the Comic Book Project have transformed thousands of kids into active learners, communicators, and creators of stories about their own lives."
—Françoise Mouly, Editorial Director, TOON Books and Art Editor, The New Yorker
Advance Praise:
“In this valuable book, Samantha, Tenzin, Treasure, Kischer, Keith, and other students come to life for us through their creations. Michael Bitz has a message, one that is often forgotten: When teachers understand that young adolescents have value, everyone learns, and everyone teaches. Comics, especially manga, are a powerful way to tap into youthful talent and energy. The result, as Bitz shows us, is confident, capable young people who, against the odds, are ready to be productive adults.”
—John Merrow, Education Correspondent, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and President, Learning Matters
“Manga High describes one of the most powerful literacy-based student-engagement projects I have encountered. It captures what many educators strive to accomplish—the use of a compelling medium to promote literacy and motivation. Teachers around the country will find this an invaluable resource, particularly those searching for literacy-based, hands-on projects.”
—Michael Nakkula, Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania
“As the manga phenomenon goes global, most American kids are content merely to draw manga-like characters. In Manga High, Michael Bitz follows kids as they grapple with the complex and demanding tasks of plotting, writing, editing, designing, drawing, and producing comics—and consequently shaping their own lives. Manga High reveals that the most engaging learning occurs when pedagogy is directed by kids themselves.”
—Brent Wilson, Professor Emeritus, School of Visual Arts, Penn State
“Why does Japanese manga continue to fascinate youth all over the world? This book uses students’ words and artwork to explore what manga means to them. I was impressed with the stories of the students’ personal lives and the way they used their artwork to find their voices to express their identities, deal with their problems, and find hope for the future. Manga High is an important and valuable tool for today’s classroom, relevant and engaging for any reader.”
—Masami Toku, Director, Shojo Manga Project
