Apertura alla diversità e accoglienza della differenza: influssi transnazionali e cambiamenti propulsivi dalla/della letteratura per l'infanzia nel contesto italiano negli anni Sessanta/Settanta. Una proposta di ricerca.

The Seventies were significant for Italian special education, especially due to the approval of Law 517/1977, an important first step to integrate disability into the educational, cultural and social environment, guaranteeing access to education for all. The contribution moves from a literature rievew to resume some of the paths that have favored this vision of social equity, focusing, in particular, on experiences related to language education and children's literature. The aim is to investigate how the latter, understood as a source for the reconstruction of historical, educational and cultural processes, anticipated the trends of "welcoming" diversity, difference and different pedagogical views - either linked to a disability or a specific social or gender condition - and contributed to spreading them thanks to a transnational cultural milieu decisive for special education itself.
