 Summaries of papers from previous international HCA conferences :: www.andersen.sdu.dk :: The Hans Christian Andersen ...
All Andersen's contemporary critics had one thing in common: they found him childish, and this childishness was identified with his use of associations.
His childishness was not just a matter of lack of culture and an obstacle to a stringent composition, but through it he was able to reach down into the subconscious or preconscious, as Brandes demonstrated.
This essay throws light on the concept of "barnlighed" (meaning both "childishness" and "being childlike") as it developed into a keyword of Romanticism in the 19th century, and according to Brandes it was used to characterize that part of the century he denounced.

Childhood's End A review of "Escaping From Childishness: The Need For a Conserver Party" by Robert Johnston The "hedonist radicalism" of the 1960s eventually settled into a combination of demands for plurality and tolerance in lifestyle choice with a censorious attitude towards actually-existing social norms.
An anti-family attitude may have aimed to subvert the supposed breeding-ground of authoritarian attitudes through which commodity society reproduced itself, but it snuggled in beside lifestyle purchase.
But a bedrock of popular apathy plus a voluntarist layer of imperative-fired politicians forms a strange and even dangerous political structure.

 The New York Review of Books: The Power of Delight
One odd feature of our century's literature is a metamorphosis to childishness.
Childhood had been a subject for great literary artists — Wordsworth, Dickens, Tolstoy, Aksakov, Fournier—for almost a hundred years, but they had always created it retrospectively, revealed it from the standpoint of maturity.
Childishness began to extrude itself into literature on its own terms, as it were; it crawled out raw and unmodified from the subconscious.

 A Prescription for Senile Liberalism
Today's liberals are too mired in their childhood traumas to focus on what is their party's main chance: domestic issues surrounding middle-class concerns in an era of social and economic instability, the rising challenge posed by China and India, and the cloudy prospects facing the next generation.
FDR, in his first inaugural, compared the challenge of the Depression to "every stress of vast expansion of territory, of foreign wars, of bitter internal strife, of world relations." He called not for self-pity, weakness, or redress, but for the "frankness" and "vigor" that he considered "essential to victory.
The senile liberalism speaking through today's Democratic party--in "childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound"--shares none of this robust patriotism.

 Wired News: 'Second Childishness' is Science
Reisberg, the outgoing president of the International Psychogeriatric Association, acknowledges that the general public has long seen a correlation in the problems of the elderly and those of children.
Shakespeare talked of "second childishness" in As You Like It and Greek author Aristophanes penned in 423 B.C. that "old men are children twice over," the researchers noted in their report.
Scientists had difficulty proving the connection, in part because the development studies used on Alzheimer's patients were "adult measures," Reisberg told Reuters in an interview in Vancouver.

 “Left-Wing” Childishness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The misfortune of our “Lefts” is that by their naïve, childish combination of the words “most determined policy of socialisation” they reveal their utter failure to understand the crux of the question, the crux of the “present” situation.
The misfortune of our “Lefts” is that they have missed the very essence of the “present situation”, the transition from confiscation (the carrying out of which requires above all determination in a politician) to socialisation (the carrying out of which requires a different quality in the revolutionary).

In the general expounding of the Teaching let us realize that a variety of people will sneer at the mention of the heart.
For them it is either childishness or, even worse, they believe that they exclusively possess the judgment about the heart, which results in "Our heart, but not yours." Thus the unchangeable universal heart is turned into private property.
