In this book Honeyman looks at manifestations of youth agency (and
representations of agency produced for youth) as depicted in fairy
tales, childlore and folk literature, investigating the dynamic of
ideological manipulation and independent resistance as it can be
read or expressed in bodies, first through social puppetry and then
through coercive temptation (our consumption replacing the more
obvious strings that bind us). Reading tales like Popeye, Hansel
& Gretel, and Pinocchio, Honeyman concentrates on the agency of
young subjects through material relations, especially where food
signifies the invisible strings used to control them in popular
discourse and practice, modeling efforts to come out from under the
hegemonic handler and take control, at least of their own body
spaces, and ultimately finding that most examples indicate less
power than the ideal holds.
