Series Information: Children's Literature and Culture
Ideologies of Identity in Adolescent Fiction examines the
representation of selfhood in adolescent and children's fiction,
using a Bakhtinian approach to subjectivity, language, and
narrative. The ideological frames within which identities are
formed are inextricably bound up with ideas about subjectivity,
ideas which pervade and underpin adolescent fictions. Although the
humanist subject has been systematically interrogated by recent
philosophy and criticism, the question which lies at the heart of
fiction for young people is not whether a coherent self exists but
what kind of self it is and what are the conditions of its coming
into being. Ideologies of Identity in Adolescent Fiction has a
double focus: first, the images of selfhood that the fictions offer
their readers, especially the interactions between selfhood, social
and cultural forces, ideologies, and other selves; and second, the
strategies used to structure narrative and to represent
subjectivity and intersubjectivity.
