1912年，民国政府教育总长蔡元培（1912年7月辞职）邀请鲁迅就任教育部社会教育司第一科科长（1912年8月任教育部佥事），同年，鲁迅开始筹备全国儿童艺术展览会。1914年4月21日，在鲁迅的积极筹划下，中国近代第一个全国儿童艺术展览会在北京开幕，展期整整一个月，1914年5月20日闭幕。教育部与儿童在艺术教育层面的互动就此展开。
时间、空间、文化／Time、Space 、Culture
1919年4月30日，五四运动前夕，美国着名教育家杜威（John Dewey,1859-1952）应邀来华讲学，历时两年两个月。其中，“儿童本位论”引起中国知识分子的高度关注，可以视为从理论上系统回应了鲁迅、周作人此前（1912-1914年间）发表的一系列儿童研究专文。
“儿童本位论”的实质是“儿童中心主义”，是对“缩小的成人”的反思：“大抵在(儿童)文学上有两种不同的错误:一是太教育的,即偏于教育;一是太艺术的,那偏于玄美。教育家的主张多属于前者,诗人多属于后者。其实两者都不对,因为他们都不承认儿童的世界。”（周作人，《关于儿童的书》，1923）
100年过去，今天的中外研究者如何理解“儿童本位”？物质文化的创造者如何理解“儿童的世界”？未来的研究者、物质文化的创造者又将面对什么样的儿童，什么样的世界？
以此为思考前提，南京艺术学院将以“儿童”为主题，于11月3日－11月4日举办第8届中国设计学青年论坛，诚邀志同道合的研究者、教育者、设计师、企业家通过“时间”、“空间”、“文化”三个纬度展开对儿童情感、认知、行为、艺术、科学、游戏、历史、未来等话题的探讨。
请有意向参会的院校、机构或个人，于10月10日之前将会议论文及作者简介（姓名、年龄、单位、职务职称、研究方向、近照）发至文末信箱，论文字数在6000至15000之间为宜。

Children: The 8th Chinese Design Study Forum of Young Scholar
Contribution Invited
On April 21st of 1914, the first Children’s Arts Exhibition of China was held in Beijing under active planning by Lu Xun, the chief director of social education sector in ministry of education. The exhibition had lasted for a month before its closing on May 20th, 1914. This event marks the very beginning of interaction between ministry of education and artistic education of Children.
On April 30th, 1919, just before ‘The May the 4th Movement’, American educator John Dewey (1859-1952) came to China beginning his 2 years and 2 months visiting. His child-centered education theory was highly attracting to many Chinese intellectuals. This theory could be taken as a theoretical response to serials of research papers published by Lu Xun and Zhou Zuoren during 1912-1914.
With its essence of Child-Centralism, this theory is a kind of reflection on the idea of taking children as ‘reduced adults ’:
2 mistakes were usually found in (children’s) literature: one focused too much on pedagogy, the other too artistic, that is to say, too much about abstract aesthetics. The former one finds much of its supporter from educators, and poets usually stand for the later one. Without recognizing the existence of a world which only belongs to children, neither of them could be called successful. (Zhou Zuoren, Books on Children, 1923)
A century has passed since then on. Today, how do researchers from all over the world understand ‘child-centered’? How do creators of material culture understand ‘children’s world’? And what kind of Children and world will be encountered by us in future?
Based on these questions, the 8th Chinese Design Study Forum of Young Scholars will be held by Nanjing University of the Arts with its theme of ‘Children’, from November 3rd to November 4th. We sincerely invite all related specialists including researchers, educators, designers and entrepreneurs to join us, discussing emotion, recognition, activity, art, science games, history, future……etc. of children through dimensions of Time, Space and Culture.
Any academy, institute or person who is intended to attend the meeting should send an academic paper (6000-15000 words) with a brief introduction (name, age, organization, position, research direction, a photo) to required email address.
