Becoming Girl interrogates the everyday of girlhood through the
collaborative feminist methodology of collective biography. Located
within the emergent interdisciplinary field of girlhood studies,
this scholarly collection demonstrates how memories can be used to
investigate the ways in which girlhood is culturally, historically,
and socially constructed. Narrative vignettes of memory are
produced and collaboratively investigated to explore relations of
power, longing, and belonging, and to critically examine the ways
in which girlhood is constituted. These are snapshot moments that,
when analyzed, expose the social, embodied, and affective processes
of "becoming girl," making them visible in new ways. Incorporating
the concepts of Gilles Deleuze, Judith Butler, and Michel Foucault,
the authors investigate food, popular culture, sexuality,
difference, literacy, family photographs, and trauma.Bringing
together international and interdisciplinary girlhood scholars,
this volume provides an innovative, inclusive, and collaborative
method for understanding the relationship between the individual
and the collective.
