Abstract:

Science fiction written specifically for young readers has had difficulty in establishing itself as a separate genre from fantasy, especially since there is a blurred notion of what constitutes fantasy vis-a-vis science fiction in children’s literature. This difficulty is reflected in the stumbling development of children’s and YA science fiction compared to the relatively clear development of children’s and YA fantasy. As such, trying to define what science fiction for young readers is takes on a malleable, inconsistent quality compared to the more established megatexts of science fiction for

Abstract:

Questions of identity, power, autonomy and vulnerability carry a particular weight in cultures that have emerged from colonialism. Although few writers of fiction focus on the conflicts between African and European characters, a focus on power and marginalisation remains. One category in which this focus may be plainly seen is writing for and about young people. The study’s aim was to analyse young adult fiction written by a Ugandan female author, Barbara Kimenye to investigate this writing to find out how young adult vulnerability is depicted in literature.

Abstract:

In contemporary Greek history we do not encounter the historical and social phenomena of colonialism or postcolonialism with the exception of cases where nations conquered Greek islands; the Dodecanese Islands and the Eptanisa (Seven Islands) were conquered by the English and the Italians, and Cyprus was conquered by the British in the Middle Ages and in contemporary times. These historical situations have been transferred into certain historical Greek fictions in adult literature and in the literature of children and young adult.

Pamela Sargent’s five SF novels for young adults display the same insight and concerns that characterize her novels for adult readers. The latter extrapolate from a broad range of contemporary technologies, including cybernetics, biological engineering, space travel, and atomic science. Regardless of the setting, however, her principal focus is always the carefully drawn characters who must live with the consequences of the technological revolution—or, in some cases, devolution. Her five SF novels for younger readers—Watchstar (1980), The Eye of the Comet (1984), Homesmind (1984), Earthseed (1

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.

Abstract:

When gender is brought into concerns about older people, the emphasis often lies on stereotypes connected to older women, and few comparative studies have been conducted pertaining to the representation of the intersection between older age and gender in fiction. This article argues that not only children’s literature, traditionally considered to be a carrier of ideology, plays a large part in the target readership’s age socialization, but so do young adult and adult fiction. In a large corpus of 41 Dutch books written for different ages, the representation of older men and women is studied th

Abstract:

Anne Boleyn has been narrativized in Young Adult (YA) historical fiction since the nineteenth century. Since the popular Showtime series The Tudors (2007–2010) aired, teenage girls have shown increased interest in the story of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII’s second and most infamous queen. This construction of Boleyn suggests that she was both celebrated and punished for her proto-feminist agency and forthright sexuality. A new subgenre of Boleyn historical fiction has also recently emerged—YA novels in which her story is rewritten as a contemporary high school drama. In this article, I consider sev

Using a thematic analysis, this study examines the presentation of donor conception in 30 books of fiction written for young adults. Most of the donor-conceived characters in these books live in single mother families, the majority are girls, and most have some kind of status as outsiders. Donor conception is presented differently depending on the type of family in which the teen lives. Children living with single mothers are most often endangered. Children living with lesbian-couple parents are most often marked as outsiders. Among children living with heterosexual-couple parents, donor conce

Contrary to what one might expect, the figurative language used in the texts which comprise the trilogies comes relatively high on Goatly's cline of 'metaphori

Abstract:

The present study overviews Canadian science fiction for children and young adults in its early history. Canada’s multiculturalism is a great resource for diversity on their literary works, but at the same time, it often turns into concerns on their national identity. Canadian novels portray this unique trait in their stories with three major features. By contrasting the technology-dominated society with the nature-friendly one, they ultimately aim for an idyllic society. Also, the works express distrust of technology and progress with concerns about negative effects on the global environment.

Young Adult Science Fiction (YASF) assumes added significance in nineteenth-century Bengal, being located within a network of contesting discourses. During its long history, Bangla YASF negotiated a complex set of knowledge systems that frequently focused on the body of the youth. We attempt to understand this discursive space with the help of three paradigms—“technological wonder,” “pedagogic systems,” and “the medicalized body.” We contend that these paradigms were instrumental in voicing subaltern concerns against the regime of British dominance. We examine Jagadananda Roy’s Travel to Venus

Abstract: It is easy to assume that people activate the same mental processes as they read. Contemporary brain science, however, offers new insights into the distinctive individuality of readers’ mental actions and responses. This article draws on neuroscience to analyze two aspects of reading activity frequently taken for granted: the assumption that all readers create describable forms of mental pictures, and the premise that reading fiction develops empathy and social awareness in the reader. Both assumptions are overly simplistic. This article explores elements of visualization and empathy

Abstract:

What kinds of urban places give rise to magic in children's and young adult fantasy literature? Thinking specifically of London, is it the ancient, twisty, almost secret backstreets that seem only visible to those in-the-know that convey magical possibilities waiting to be discovered? Or is it the eclectic mix of whimsical buildings with their beautiful spires and domes alongside dreary tower blocks and council estates that gives us the sense that anything can happen in the city – that anyone can live in and move through London, including wizards, waifs, princesses, and poltergeists?
