Disturbing The Universe: Power And Repression In Adolescent Literature
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Young Adult Novel Is Ordinarily Characterized As A Comingofage Story, In Which The Narrative Revolves Around The Individual Growth And Maturation Of A Character, But Roberta Trites Expands This Notion By Chronicling The Dynamics Of Power And Repression That Weave Their Way Through Ya Books. Characters In These Novels Must Learn To Negotiate The Levels Of Power That Exist In The Myriad Social Institutions Within Which They Function, Including Family, Church, Government, And School.Trites Argues That The Development Of The Genre Over The Past Thirty Years Is An Outgrowth Of Postmodernism, Since Ya Novels Are, By Definition, Texts That Interrogate The Social Construction Of Individuals. Drawing On Such Nineteenthcentury Precursors As Little Women And Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, Disturbing The Universe Demonstrates How Important It Is To Employ Poststructuralist Methodologies In Analyzing Adolescent Literature, Both In Critical Studies And In The Classroom. Among The Twentiethcentury Authors Discussed Are Blume, Hamilton, Hinton, Le Guin, L'Engle, And Zindel.Trites' Work Has Applications For A Broad Range Of Readers, Including Scholars Of Children'S Literature And Theorists Of Postmodernity As Well As Librarians And Secondaryschool Teachers.Disturbing The Universe: Power And Repression In Adolescent Literature By Roberta Seelinger Trites Is The Winner Of The 2002 Children'S Literature Association'S Book Award. The Award Is Given Annually In Order To Promote And Recognize Outstanding Contributions To Children'S Literature, History, Scholarship, And Criticisim; It Is One Of The Highest Academic Honors That Can Accrue To An Author Of Children'S Literary Criticism.
