Abstract: This paper focuses on novels addressed to that category of older teenagers called “young adults”, a particularly successful category that is traditionally regarded as a subpart of children’s literature and yet terminologically insists on overriding the adult/child divide by blurring the frontier between adulthood and childhood and focusing on the transition from one state to the other. In Britain, YA fiction has developed extensively in the last four decades and I wish to concentrate on what this literary emergence and evolution has entailed since the beginning of the 21st century, especially from the point of view of genre and narrative mode. I will examine the cases of recognized—although sometimes controversial—authors, arguing that although British YA fiction is deeply indebted to and anchored in the pioneering American tradition, which proclaimed the end of the Romantic child as well as that of the compulsory happy ending of the children’s book, there seems to be a recent trend which consists in alleviating the roughness, the straightforwardness of realism thanks to elements or touches of fantasy.

    2018-n°1 Heather Braun, Elisabeth Lamothe, Delphine Letort (dir.), Les Cultures ado : consommation et production « The Success and Ambiguity of Young Adult Literature: Merging Literary Modes in Contemporary British Fiction » Virginie Douglas (Senior Lecturer in the Department of English Studies at the University of Rouen) Cette œuvre est mise à disposition selon les termes de la Licence Creative Commons Attribution - Pas d'Utilisation Commerciale - Pas de Modification 4.0 International Résumé Cet article se penche sur les romans destinés aux grands adolescents ou « jeunes adultes », catégorie qui connaît un engouement particulier et que l’on considère traditionnellement comme une subdivision de la littérature pour la jeunesse bien que, d’un point de vue terminologique, elle mette en avant le dépassement de la division adulte/enfant en brouillant les frontières entre ces deux âges de la vie pour mieux se concentrer sur la transition d’un état vers un autre. En Grande-Bretagne, la fiction pour jeunes adultes s’est développée de façon significative au cours des quatre dernières décennies ; cet article s’intéresse aux effets qu’ont eus cette émergence et cette évolution littéraires depuis le début du XXIe siècle, en particulier en termes de genre et de mode de narration. La fiction britannique pour jeunes adultes est ancrée dans la tradition américaine, pionnière en la matière, dont elle s’inspire largement et qui a mis un terme à une vision romantique de l’enfance ainsi qu’à l’obligation du happy ending dans le livre pour enfants. Cependant, une tendance récente semble s’employer à atténuer un réalisme âpre et brutal grâce à des éléments, voire de petites touches de fantasy.

  • Psychoanalysis and Narrative in Young Adult Fiction
    Re-mapping Adolescence: Psychoanalysis and Narrative in Young Adult Fiction ~ervatJ\IJomaa A Thesis Submitted for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to The School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics The University of Sheffield September 2009 Abstract The start of the new millennium has witnessed literary interest in young adult fiction and a prominent rise in its popUlarity. My research focuses on the dynamics of adolescent narrative and the representations of the adolescent subject in a number of contemporary mainstream young adult novels with the aim of understanding adolescence as an inscribed literary identity. I take, as my starting point, Julia Kristeva's definition of adolescence as an open, non-biologically limited, psychic structure. This notion, when applied to young adult fiction, suggests that the texts work to construct psychologically-open implied readers, which in diverse ways echo and affirm the desires and expectations of real readers. While the introduction surveys contemporary critical currents in children and young adult fiction and places my research into context, each of the subsequent chapters examines one or more literary works by a single author. The main literary works discussed in this study include novels by Meg Rosoff, Geraldine McCaughrean, David Almond, lK. Rowling and Philip Pullman respectively; all of whom have widely appealed to readers of different age groups. In my analysis I use insights from psychoanalytic and psycho-linguistic theories mainly by Kristeva, Freud, Lacan and Winnicott, and where necessary my argument is supported by narrative analysis, reading theories and feminist criticism. By engaging with critical and psychoanalytical readings of paradigmatic young adult.
