Dissertation Advisor: Professor Maria Tatar Christina Phillips Mattson Abstract Children’s Literature Grows Up proposes that there is a revolution occurring in contemporary children’s fiction that challenges the divide that has long existed between literature for children and literature for adults. Children’s literature, though it has long been considered worthy of critical inquiry, has never enjoyed the same kind of extensive intellectual attention as adult literature because children’s literature has not been considered to be serious literature or “high art.” Children’s Literature Grows Up draws upon recent scholarship about the thematic transformations occurring in the category, but demonstrates that there is also an emerging aesthetic and stylistic sophistication in recent works for children that confirms the existence of children’s narratives that are equally complex, multifaceted, and worthy of the same kind of academic inquiry that is afforded to adult literature.

  • Fantasy Subgenres (Courtesy
    Fantasy Subgenres (courtesy http://www.cuebon.com/ewriters/Fsubgenres.html) (Definitions and Examples - All) Whether set on our familar Earth (past or present), or in a vast parallel world, or some dreamlike realm where everything is different, fantasy tales allow our imaginations free reign. Even so its relationships, and use of magic, must be internally consistent. Alternate World fantasy involves different worlds hidden within or parallel to our own. In past times these could be found in a mysterious country, as in Johnathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels. With the Earth explored, some were envisioned inside a mirror, as with Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking Glass. Others 'distill' whole fictional libraries, as with John Myers Myers' novel Silverlock. In our scientific era, often these worlds are in a parallel cosmos, as depicted in Roger Zelazny's "Amber" series. Arthurian subgenre tales are set in the world of King Arthur's legendary Camelot. Merlin, Lancelot, Ygraine and friends are involved in fresh adventures. These novels have been popular for centuries, and one famous modern example is Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. Bangsian fantasy takes its name from a 19th century author named John Bangs. This subgenre deals all or mostly with the afterlife. Early legends speak of Hades, and it's been going strong ever since. A modern example is Philip Jose Farmer's "Riverworld" series, which overlaps with 'science fiction.' Though marketed as literary fiction, with its Heaven-dwelling narrator, Alice Sebold's novel and movie The Lovely Bones fits this category. Celtic fantasy draws upon the rich lore of the Celtic peoples, mostly but not always from Ireland.

  • Genre and Young Adult Fantasy
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-44532-0 — Young Adult Fantasy Fiction Kim Wilkins Excerpt More Information Young Adult Fantasy Fiction 1 Introduction: Genre and Young Adult Fantasy In the United States, the world’s biggest book market, young adult fantasy (YAF) has performed consistently well for a number of consecutive years. In 2014, juvenile fantasy fiction increased its market share by 38 per cent, levelled out in 2015, then rose a further 17 per cent in 2016 to become the biggest-selling juvenile category. While adult fantasy and science fiction combined sold 11,856,000 units in 2016, the same combined category in juvenile fiction sold 52,255,000 units, or more than four times as many (Milliot, 2015, 2016, 2017).1 This success extends beyond the US market. For example, according to Sarah J. Maas’s website, her YAF series Throne of Glass has now been translated into thirty-five different languages, and Cassandra Clare’s publisher Simon & Schuster boasts that she has 50 million copies of her books in print worldwide. These figures indicate a global dissemination and robust market power across the world. Young adult fantasy texts also serve as originating texts for transmedia adaptations, both official and non-official: from high-budget screen adaptations and licensed tie-in products to peer-to-peer merchandising and fan fiction. High-profile adaptations can lead to stardom for actors who take iconic roles (e.g., Emma Watson, Robert Pattinson), securely tying YAF to broader celebrity culture and mainstream media interest (Steveker, 2015: 148). In many ways, YAF’s operations are emblematic of developments and disruptions in the publishing industry and reading practices of the twenty- first century, and yet our scholarly understanding of the genre’s commer- cial, social, and creative operations is not rigorous or nuanced.

  • The Spatiality of Children's Fantasy Fiction Anthony Pavlik
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository A View from Elsewhere: The Spatiality of Children’s Fantasy Fiction Anthony Pavlik A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Newcastle University April 2011 i Abstract Fantasy other worlds are often seen as alternatives with which to critique the ‘real’ world, or as offering spaces where child protagonists can take advantage of the otherness they encounter in their own process of maturation. However, such readings of fantasy other worlds, rather than celebrating heterogeneity, implicitly see ‘other’ spaces as ‘unreal’ and there either to support the real in some way, as being in some way inferior to the real, or in need of salvation by protagonists from the real world. This thesis proposes a reading of such texts that draws on social theories of constructed spatiality in order to examine first how, to varying degrees, and depending upon the attitude of authors towards the figure of the child, such ‘fantasy’ places can be seen as potentially real “thirdspaces” of performance and agency for protagonists, and thus as neutral spaces of activity rather than confrontation or growth and, second, how such presentations may be seen as reflecting back into the potential for the spatial activity of readers. ii Acknowledgements When I started on the PhD process, the road I travelled along was by no means a straight one. Confident, arrogantly so perhaps, in my abilities, I took many wrong turns.

    FREE A SHORT HISTORY OF FANTASY PDF Farah Mendlesohn,Edward James | 296 pages | 01 Oct 2012 | Libri Publishing | 9781907471667 | English | Faringdon, United Kingdom A Short History of Fantasy - Farah Mendlesohn, Edward James - Google книги Though the fantasy genre in its modern sense is less than two centuries old, its antecedents have a long and distinguished history. Elements of the supernatural and the fantastic were an element of literature from its beginning. The hallmarks that distinguish the modern genre from tales that merely contain fantastic elements are the logic of the fantasy workings, the acknowledged fictitious nature of the work, and the authorship of the elements, rather than their source in folklore. Works in which the marvels were not necessarily believed, or only half-believed, such as the European romances of chivalry and the tales of the Arabian Nightsslowly evolved into works that showed these traits. Such authors as George MacDonald created explicitly fantastic works. The publication of The Lord of the Rings by J. Tolkien created an enormous influence on the writing of the field, establishing the form of epic fantasy and also did much to establish the genre of fantasy as commercially distinct and viable. Even the most fantastic myths, legends and fairy tales differ from modern fantasy genre in three respects:. Illustration to Orlando furiosofeaturing the hippogriff, a monster never actually found in folklore. Modern genre fantasy postulates a different reality, either a fantasy world separated from ours, or a hidden fantasy side of our own world. In addition, the rules, geography, history, etc. Traditional fantastic tales take place in our world, often in the past or in far off, unknown places.

The article deals with the concept BULLYING in juvenile fantasy prose. The relevance of the research is determined by the cognitive discursive perspective within the activity-based approach to language, which addresses the intersubjective meaning construal in discourse.

  • Heterotopias in Fantasy Fiction for Young Adult Readers in France and Britain
    When Worlds Collide: Heterotopias in Fantasy Fiction for Young Adult Readers in France and Britain Sarah K. Cantrell A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Dr. Laurie Langbauer Dr. Dominique Fisher Dr. Beverly Taylor Dr. Marsha Collins Dr. James Peacock ©2010 Sarah Kathryn Cantrell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT SARAH K. CANTRELL: When Worlds Collide: Heterotopias in Fantasy Fiction for Young Adults in France and Britain (Under the co-direction of Laurie Langbauer and Dominique Fisher) My dissertation examines the alternative worlds in recent fantasy fiction for young adults in Britain and France. I compare J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series (1997-2007) and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials (1995-2000) trilogy to two French fantasy series, Erik L’Homme’s Le Livre des Étoiles (The Book of the Stars) (2001-2003) and Pierre Bottero’s Ewilan (2003-2007) series. My work contributes to scholarship on French children’s literature and reflects some of the ways in which comparative approaches to writing for children and young adults can highlight the differences in literary traditions as new genres, such as the rise of la fantasy in France, emerge as acceptable modes of literary production. Via the spatiality theories of Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau and others, I argue that the alternative worlds in these texts constitute training grounds that prepare protagonists and their readers to develop codes of ethical action.

  • Constructions of the Fat Child in British Juvenile Fiction (1960-2010)
    Constructions of the Fat Child in British Juvenile Fiction (1960-2010) Kate E. R. Flynn A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2013 University of Worcester ABSTRACT This literary study is an analysis of fat child characters in British juvenile fiction, 1960 to 2010. The argument is that juvenile fiction, with growing frequency, has advanced lay psychological explanations for departures from a culturally sanctioned slender ideal. Detailing the socio-historical basis for changing literary constructions of the fat child comprises an original contribution to knowledge. Protagonists and peripheral characters from eighty-five examples of juvenile fiction are critiqued. At the start of the period, the majority of texts associate fatness with moral failings. By the middle of the period, fatness is predominantly associated with poor emotional health. This association persists until the period’s close, becoming entwined in the final decade with the increasing use of references to body fat as a means of demarcating the child’s position within commodity and celebrity cultures. No text foregrounds associations between fatness and physical health problems. Transitions from one dominant construction of fatness to another are accompanied by changes in how fat characters are gendered, classed and racialised. Issues of Jackie magazine (1964-1994) and contemporaneous psychological abstracts are examined as contextual material. The study concludes that discontinuities in constructions of the fat child express historically specific fears of social, economic, or political transformation in Britain. How child readers might comply with or rework literary constructions of the fat child is suggested as a topic for further research.
