Abstract:
This article deals with literary constructions of masculinity in Wolfgang Herrndorf’s novel Tschick. The focus is on male adolescence as represented by the characters in the text. The study is guided by the question of how the male socialisation of adolescents is narrated in the novel. Themes such as the search for identity, friendship, sexuality and being an outsider are addressed. The analysis is based on theoretical perspectives offered by masculinity studies, intersectional approaches of identity research as well as genre-related reflections on young adult fiction.

Abstract:
Abstract Veronica Roth’s Divergent is a young adult fiction and movie franchise that addresses issues of political power, social inequity, border control, politics of fear, gender, ethnicity, violence, surveillance, personal authenticity and mind control. It is possible a large part of the popularity of the series is its attention to these issues which young Western audiences are concerned about. The narrative makes heroes of protagonists who become activists for justice and struggle against oppressive social-political systems. What follows is a literary analysis of Divergent, evaluating its t

Abstract:
Many authors in recent years have worked to encourage the inclusion of disabled people and to show disability characters in a positive light. In order to accomplish this, they tend to produce counter-disability characters and scenarios to promote enablement. This textual analysis focuses on three young adult fictions that provide positive portrayals of protagonists with disability, including Out of My Mind (Draper, 2010), Five Flavors of Dumb (John, 2010) and Jerk, California (Friesen, 2008). Drawing on the social identity theory and the social model, this paper explores how the protagonists'

Abstract:
Due to the limits on minors’ legal, geographic, and financial agency, many young people face difficulties directly engaging in civic activity or political activism. Researchers must therefore find creative, desire-centered ways of engaging with youth theories in a manner that is accessible to a broad number of young people. This paper explores the methodologies and theoretical findings of a six-month digital ethnographic study in which twelve American teenagers read and analyzed works of young adult speculative fiction that explore political themes through the central metaphor of monstrosity.

Abstract:
Michel Foucault uses a sailing vessel as the exemplar of his theory of heterotopia because of its mobility. The lateral and vertical mobility of the steampunk airship indicates the potential for an even greater exemplar of heterotopia, particularly of Foucault’s defining principles of heterotopic crisis and deviance. These principles are explored onboard the steampunk airships of Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan trilogy and Gail Carriger’s Finishing School series, resulting in travel towards progressive social frontiers of gender and race. The protagonists of the Leviathan trilogy move from a posi

Abstract:
Postmodern forms of young adult literature encourage readers to not only question and challenge the status quo but to implement changes to the world around them.—Realistic YA fiction works like Wonder by R.J. Palacio and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie are no exception to this phenomenon.—Both push young readers to view people with disabilities and people from unfortunate economic circumstances from empathetic rather than sympathetic perspectives.—Realistic picturebooks, specifically ones that explore concepts of disabilities and social class, also play a role

This paper analyzes the social-psychological phenomenon of Self-fulfilling Prophecy (SFP) through The Arabian Nights, and the feminist Young Adult (YA) literature. Significantly, the literature of two extreme ages and cultures provides universal messages. Application of Social- Neuroscience concept of Predictive Processing (PP) simplifies the understanding of SFP. In the troubled age of One Thousand and One Nights, Scheherazade narrated strange and intriguing tales to King Shahryar. The folktales provided a unique insight towards peacefully resolving a dreadful conflict. Ignorant of the suppos

This article examines the works of Haitian-Québécois writer Marie-Célie Agnant within the framework of a social justice-oriented French curriculum. Situating Agnant’s contributions within the evolving discourse on critical pedagogy in world language education, it highlights Agnant’s engagement with themes of power and oppression within and beyond the Haitian diaspora context, demonstrating how her texts reveal systemic injustices tied to gender, race, immigration, and linguistic identity. The analysis extends beyond Agnant’s well-studied adult novels to her young adult literature and short sto

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 123-127)<br>This dissertation examines how three dystopian texts, namely Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Jasper Fforde’s Shades of Grey and Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy, exhibit social conformity as a disciplinary mechanism of the ‘carceral’ – a notion introduced by poststructuralist thinker Michel Foucault. Employing poststructuralist discourse and deconstructive theory as a theoretical framework, the study investigates how each novel establishes its world as a successful carceral city that incorporates most, if not all, the elements of

This chapter discusses how it is notable that ‘speculative fiction’ – fiction that creates alternative worlds – frequently addresses themes of deviance, transgression and ordering. It identifies themes of surveillance and spectacle; hyperreality and virtual reality; memory and the suppression of history; and hierarchy and difference in dystopian fiction aimed at young adults – The Hunger Games (Collins, 2008), The Maze Runner (Dashner, 2009), Divergent (Roth, 2011) and Red Rising (Brown, 2014).
