  • Independent Scholar Shivaun Plozza the Troll Under the Bridge
    Plozza The troll under the bridge Independent scholar Shivaun Plozza The troll under the bridge: should Australian publishers of young adult literature act as moral-gatekeepers? Abstract: In the world of Young Adult Literature, the perceived impact of certain texts on the moral, social and psychological development of its readers is a cause for debate. The question ‘what is suitable content for a pre-adult readership’ is one guaranteed to produce conflicting, polarising and impassioned responses. Within the context of this debate, the essay explores a number of key questions. Do publishers have a moral obligation to avoid certain topics or should they be pushing the boundaries of teen fiction further? Is it the role of the publisher to consider the impact of books they publish to a teenage audience? Should the potential impact of a book on its reader be considered ahead of a book’s potential to sell and make money? This article analyses criticism and praise for two ‘controversial’ Australian Young Adult books: Sonya Hartnett’s Sleeping Dogs (1997) and John Marsden’s Dear Miffy (1997). It argues that ‘issues-books’ are necessary to the development of teens, and publishers should continue to push the envelope of teen fiction while ensuring they make a concerted effort to produce quality, sensitive and challenging books for a teen market. Biographical note: Shivaun Plozza is a project editor, manuscript assessor and writer of YA fiction. Her debut novel, Frankie, is due for publication by Penguin in early 2016. She has published short stories, poetry and articles in various journals, both online and print, and has won numerous awards and fellowships.

    Anth 180A: The Anthropology of Childhood Ann Metcalf M, W 11:00-12:15 Fall 2015 “It seemed clear to me that a culture that repudiated children could not be a good culture…” Margaret Mead How do children grow, learn, respond to and shape their worlds? Is childhood a universally recognized stage of human development? Is it a time of innocence or agency? What cultural forces shape and influence children, and in what ways are children initiators of cultural change? This course will explore childhood from a cross-cultural, anthropological perspective. We will begin with a focus on traditional and tribal cultures, exploring parenting and child rearing, language acquisition, play, work, sexuality, and transition to adulthood. Then we will consider issues arising from industrialization, colonization and globalization: gender, race and class, child labor, sex trafficking, education, the effects of war and famine, the emergence of children’s rights movements.
