In the decades since the Second World War, the teenage witch has
emerged as a major American cultural trope. Appearing in films,
novels, comics and on television, adolescent witches have long
reflected shifting societal attitudes towards the teenage
demographic. At the same time, teen witches have also served as a
means through which adolescent femininity can be conceptualised,
interrogated and reimagined. Drawing on a wide theoretical
framework - including the works of Deleuze and Foucault as well as
recent new materialist philosophies - this book explores how the
adolescent witch has evolved over the course of more than seventy
years. Moving from the birth of the bobby soxer in the 1940s
through to twenty-first-century teenage engagements with
fourth-wave feminism, this book treats a range of themes including
embodiment, agency, identity, violence and sexuality.
