Untaming Girlhoods Storytelling Female Adolescence

This is an interdisciplinary examination of depictions of girlhoods through a comparative study of foundational fairy tales revised and reimagined in popular narrative film and television adaptations. The success of franchises such as The Hunger Games Twilight and Divergence have re-presented the young heroine as an empowered female and often a warrior hero in her own right. Through a selection of popular culture touchstones this empowerment is questioned as a manipulation of feminist ideals of equality and a continuation of the traditional vision of female awakening centering on issues of personal choice agency physical violence purity and beauty. By investigating re-occurring storytelling frameworks and archetypes Untaming Girlhoods examines different portrayals of girlhoods in the 20th- and 21st-century Anglo-American cultural imaginary that configure modern girlhoods beyond the fairy-tale princess or the damsel in distress into refigurations that venture away from the well-trodden path for a new breakaway path to authentic selfhood. This will be a useful and enlightening text for students and researchers in Girlhood Studies Gender Studies Film Studies Popular Culture and Media Studies. | Untaming Girlhoods Storytelling Female Adolescence

New Directions in Children's Gothic Debatable Lands

Children’s literature today is dominated by the gothic mode and it is in children’s gothic fictions that we find the implications of cultural change most radically questioned and explored. This collection of essays looks at what is happening in the children’s Gothic now when traditional monsters have become the heroes when new monsters have come into play when globalisation brings Harry Potter into China and yaoguai into the children’s Gothic and when childhood itself and children’s literature as a genre can no longer be thought of as an uncontested space apart from the debates and power struggles of an adult domain. We look in detail at series such as The Mortal Instruments Twilight Chaos Walking The Power of Five Skulduggery Pleasant and Cirque du Freak; at novels about witches and novels about changelings; at the Gothic in China Japan and Oceania; and at authors including Celia Rees Frances Hardinge Alan Garner and Laini Taylor amongst many others. At a time when the energies and anxieties of children’s novels can barely be contained anymore within the genre of children’s literature spilling over into YA and adult literature we need to pay attention. Weird things are happening and they matter. | New Directions in Children's Gothic Debatable Lands

Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

Most people are too busy to keep up with all the good movies they’d like to see so why should anyone spend their precious time watching the bad ones? In Why It’s OK to Love Bad Movies philosopher and cinematic bottom feeder Matthew Strohl enthusiastically defends a fondness for disreputable films. Combining philosophy of art with film criticism Strohl flips conventional notions of good and bad on their heads and makes the case that the ultimate value of a work of art lies in what it can add to our lives. By this measure some of the worst movies ever made are also among the best. Through detailed discussions of films such as Troll 2 The Room Batman & Robin Twilight Ninja III: The Domination and a significant portion of Nicolas Cage’s filmography Strohl argues that so-called bad movies are the ones that break the rules of the art form without the aura of artistic seriousness that surrounds the avant-garde. These movies may not win any awards but they offer rich opportunities for creative engagement and enable the formation of lively fan communities and they can be a key ingredient in a fulfilling aesthetic life. Key Features: Written in a humorous approachable style appealing to readers with no background in philosophy. Elaborates the rewards of loving bad movies such as forming unlikely social bonds and developing refinement without narrowness. Discusses a wide range of beloved bad movies including Plan 9 from Outer Space The Core Battlefield Earth and Freddy Got Fingered. Contains the most extensive discussion of Nicolas Cage ever included in a philosophy book. | Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture

This book investigates the reappearance of the 19th-century dream-child from the Golden Age of Children's Literature both in the Harry Potter series and in other works that have reached unprecedented levels of popular success today. Discussing Harry Potter as a reincarnation of Lewis Carroll's Alice and J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan Billone goes on to examine the recent resurrection of Alice in Tim Burton's Alice and of Peter Pan in Michael Jackson and in James Bond. Visiting trends that have emerged since the Harry Potter series ended the book studies revisions of the dream-child in texts and films that have inspired mass fandom in the twenty-first century: Stephenie Meyer's Twilight E. L. James's 50 Shades of Grey and Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games. The volume argues that the 21st-century desire to achieve dream-states in relationship to eternal youth results from the way that dreams provide a means of realizing the fantastic yet alarming possibility of escaping from time. This current identification with the dream-child stems from the threat of political unrest and economic and environmental collapse as well as from the simultaneous technophilia and technophobia of a culture immersed in the breathless revolution of the digital age. This book not only explores how the dream-child from the past has returned to reflect misgivings about imagined dystopian futures but also reveals how the rebirth of the dream-child opens up possibilities for new narratives where happy endings remain viable against all odds. It will appeal to scholars in a wide variety of fields including Childhood Studies Children's/YA Literature Cinema Studies Cultural Studies Cyberculture Gender Studies Queer Studies Gothic Studies New Media and Popular Culture. | The Future of the Nineteenth-Century Dream-Child Fantasy Dystopia Cyberculture
