For more information, please contact [email protected]. “SO VERY,” “SO FETCH”: CONSTRUCTING GIRLS ON FILM IN THE ERA OF GIRL POWER AND GIRLS IN CRISIS by MARY LARKEN MCCORD Under the Direction of Amira Jarmakani ABSTRACT In the mid-1990s, two discourses of girlhood emerged in both the popular and academic spheres. Consolidated as the girl power discourse and girls in crisis discourse, the tension between these two intertwined discourses created a space for new narratives of female adolescence in the decade between 1995 and 2005. As sites of cultural construction and representation, teen films reveal the narratives of girlhood. The films under consideration serve as useful exemplars for an examination of how such discourses become mainstreamed, pervading society’s image of female adolescence.

  • The ABC's of Parenting Teens
    The ABC’s of Parenting Teens: A Quick Reference Guide By Raymond Coleman, M.D. Why another parenting “How to…” manual? As a dad and a pediatrician, I have become increasingly aware that parents are often confused about how much to parent! Yet moms and dads still need concise and conveniently presented information on the everyday issues they face with their adolescents. This notebook is presented in that spirit. Adolescence as a developmental process hasn’t changed: “Kids! What’s the matter with kids today?,” the refrain from the 1960’s musical Bye-Bye Birdie is “time honored.” Teens still struggle to separate from parents as they try to establish their own social, moral, and sexual identity. Along the way to becoming independent and competent young adults, they often test parent’s rules to the “max”: they try on different personalities and life styles for size; they act as if they are indestructible and take risks; they generally challenge the status quo and legitimacy of the preceding generation. For most kids this period of rapid bodily and emotional growth is an ultimately successful, but at times turbulent, venture. What has changed is the perception that the older child needs less parenting: in reality they may need more! Children hop from the innocence of the elementary school years to the challenge of middle school where the pace of life has sped up. Kids are first faced with decisions about drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and even sexuality in middle school, not high school. There is little or no “sanctuary” of middle childhood, and kids need a new competency to be able to handle this unfamiliar and risky environment.

    PRUDE AWAKENING: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF RECENT PRESCRIPTIVE ABSTINENCE TEXTS by ERIN E. WRIGHT B.A., Truman State University, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Society, Culture, and Politics in Education) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July, 2009 © Erin E. Wright, 2009 ii ABSTRACT In the last few years, a number of abstinence-oriented, secular, popular press prescriptive texts focusing on young women’s sexual practices have been published. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, I analyze discourses of sexuality present in these texts and explore how these texts converge and diverge with the broader U.S. abstinence movement. My analysis demonstrates that the prescriptive texts mirror a version of sexuality associated with both the abstinence movement and the Christian Right: one that is biologically- or spiritually-based, natural, gendered, oppositional, heterosexual, powerful, fixed, and in women only, virtually unable to overcome without negative effects. In this view, sex is dangerous and damaging to young woman as individuals and to society as a whole. The prescriptive texts diverge from the abstinence movement in important ways, primarily through their embrace of Girl Power discourses. The ways in which Girl Power is used reveal engagements with feminism absent from the abstinence movement, and also highlight neoliberal dimensions of subjectivity and success similarly missing from the wider abstinence movement. The prescriptive texts’ authors use neoliberal Girl Power discourses to link young women’s sexual practices with success, which allows the authors to construct abstinence as an empowering intervention in young women’s lives.
