Apocalyptic Transformations in Young Adult Fiction “Surviving” Adolescence: Apocalyptic and Post- Apocalyptic Transformations in Young Adult Fiction Thesis submitted by Anna Whateley B.A. (Hons) Brunel University, P.G.C.E University of Hertfordshire. March 2010 Centre for Learning Innovation Faculty of Education Queensland University of Technology For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Keywords Young adult fiction, literature, apocalypse, post-apocalypse, transformation, adolescence, poststructuralism, death, subjectivity, agency. ii Abstract This study, entitled ―‗Surviving‘ Adolescence: Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic transformations in young adult fiction‖, analyses how discourses surrounding the apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic are represented in selected young adult fiction published between 1997 and 2009. The term ―apocalypse‖ is used by current theorists to refer to an uncovering or disclosure (most often a truth), and ―post-apocalypse‖ means to be after a disclosure, after a revelation, or after catastrophe. This study offers a double reading of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic discourses, and the dialectical tensions that are inherent in, and arise from, these discourses. Drawing on the current scholarship of children‘s and young adult literature this thesis uses post-structural theoretical perspectives to develop a framework and methodology for conducting a close textual analysis of exclusion, ‗un‘differentiation, prophecy, and simulacra of death. The combined theoretical perspectives and methodology offer new contributions to young adult fiction scholarship. This thesis finds that rather than conceiving adolescence as the endurance of a passing phase of a young person‘s life, there is a new trend emerging in young adult fiction that treats adolescence as a space of transformation essential to the survival of the young adult, and his/her community. iii List of Relevant Publications (as Anna Free) Free, Anna.

The thesis explores 'myth-revision' in selected works of Fantasy fiction. Myth- revision is defined as the retelling of traditional legends, folk-tales and other familiar stories in such as way as to change the story's implied ideology. (For example, Angela Carter's 'The Company of Wolves' revises 'Red Riding Hood' into a feminist tale of female sexuality and empowerment.) Myth-revision, the thesis argues, has become a significant trend in Fantasy fiction in the last three decades, and is notable in the works of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.

From the very first letter on that threateningly empty page to the final arrangement of chapters and ideas, a multitude of voices have been woven into that which eventually lies before you as the most curious of objects: the finished thesis. I am delighted to have this opportunity to thank some of you who helped me transform that empty page into this book. Over the years, my supervisor Prof. Roger D. Sell of Åbo Akademi Uni- versity has taken a constant interest in my work, and for this I am most grateful. His critical eye on both form and content helped me disentangle my thoughts and sharpen my arguments. Without his efforts to make me do better, this thesis would, no doubt, have been much poorer. Prof. Maria Nikolajeva of Stockholm University was also with me from the very begin- ning, offering expert advice and sparing no personal effort in commenting on numerous versions of the manuscript.

  • ISU Novel Summaries
    ANNOTATION by Book Title 1984 by George Orwell 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell''s prophetic, nightmare vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. "1984" is still the great modern classic "negative Utopia" - a startling original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny this novel''s power, its hold on the imagination of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions - a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time. Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler Scarred by grief after their 12-year-old son's senseless murder (he was shot by a holdup man in a Burger Bonanza), Macon and Sarah Leary are losing their marriage too. Macon is unable to cope when Sarah leaves him, so he settles down “safe among the people he'd started out with,” moving back home with two divorced brothers and spinster sister Rose. Author of a series of guidebooks called “Accidental Tourist” for businessmen who hate to travel, Macon journeys from lonely self- absorption to an ‘accidental’ new life with brassy Muriel, a dog trainer from the Meow Bow Animal Hospital, who renews and claims his heart. Not a character, including Macon's dog Edward, is untouched by delightful eccentricity in this charming story, full of surprises and wisdom. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain Hilariously picaresque, epic in scope, alive with the poetry and vigor of the American people, Mark Twain''s story about a young boy and his journey down the Mississippi was the first great novel to speak in a truly American voice.

  • UNIVERSITY of WINCHESTER FACULTY of ARTS Problems Of
    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF ARTS Problems of representation/representing sex, drugs and alcohol in contemporary British young adult fiction Vanessa Harbour Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2011 UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FACULTY OF ARTS Doctor of Philosophy Problems of representation/representing sex, drugs and alcohol in contemporary British young adult fiction Vanessa Jane Harbour There is an ongoing debate into whether contentious issues, such as sex, drugs and alcohol, should be contained in young adult fiction (YAF). In this debate, the popular press most often represents the view that children, including young adults (YA), should be protected, and thereby remain innocent, thus characterising the inclusion of sensitive topics in children‟s fiction (including YAF) as an unacceptable assault on that innocence. Conversely, and as explored in this thesis, there are others, especially authors and academic critics (including myself) who suggest that fiction is an ideal place to explore such issues because of the nature of the vicarious experience it offers. This thesis is presented in two parts. The first is the creative aspect which is a YA novel entitled Ham & Jam. This is the story of four students on a school trip. They embark on a mission to save a young Afghan girl who had been trafficked and was being sold for sex. The novel developed out of the research undertaken for the second aspect of this thesis which is a critical exploration into how the contentious issues of sex, drugs and alcohol have been represented within YAF since 1996. Using Melvin Burgess‟s novel, Junk (1996) as a starting point, and his representation of sex, drugs and alcohol as a benchmark, a selection of British contemporary realist YAF from 1996 and for each subsequent year up to, and including, 2010 were compared critically and culturally from the dual perspective of writer and reader.
