Out of Reach - The Ideal Girl in American Girls' Serial Literature (Paperback): Kate Harper Out of Reach - The Ideal Girl in American Girls' Serial Literature (Paperback)

R1,232 Discovery Miles 12 320 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Out of Reach: The Ideal Girl in American Girls' Serial Literature traces the journey of the ideal girl through American girls' series in the twentieth century. Who is the ideal girl? In what ways does the trope of the ideal girl rely on the exclusion and erasure of Othered girls? How does the trope retain its power through cultural shifts? Drawing from six popular girls' series that span the twentieth century, Kate G. Harper explores the role of girls' series in constructing a narrow ideal of girlhood, one that is out of reach for the average American girl reader. Girls' series reveal how, over time, the ideal girl trope strengthens and becomes naturalized through constant reiteration. From the transitional girl at the turn of the century in Dorothy Dale to the "liberated" romantic of Sweet Valley High, these texts provide girls with an appealing model of girlhood, urging all girls to aspire to the unattainable ideal. Out of Reach illuminates the ways in which the ideal girl trope accommodates social changes, taking in that which makes it stronger and further solidifying its core.

This anthology provides exciting, innovative research focused on the construction of adolescent girls' sexuality in the media. The volume includes a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives from the humanities and the social sciences, addressing how girls and others respond to, work with, and even resist prevailing media representations of girls' sexualities and how they use contemporary media as a form of sexual expression. The authors consider a wide array of sexual attitudes, behaviors, and expressions not commonly seen in the sexualities literature, including the voices of "other" girls whose voices are often ignored, particularly racial/ethnic minority and indigenous girls, sexual minorities, and girls from non-U.S. settings. The use of ethnographic data, in conjunction with media analysis techniques, provides a unique approach to the media studies genre, which tends to highlight an analysis of media content, as opposed to the ways in which media is used in everyday life.

"This anthology is a keyhole that invites readers to peek into the usually private space that harbors memories of past loves. In Heartscapes over one hundred and fifty women and men of all ages tell evocative true stories about earlier sweethearts. Selected from nearly 800 entries in the annual Past Loves Day Story Contests, the stories express the hopeful, delightful and often mystical nature of attraction, as well as the heartache of parting and loss. Each of these rememberings is a gift from the writer s heart to yours, a reminder that every love is part of a personal "heartscape," etched into one s being in a place deeper than memory. The stories are rich in what they invite us to see, and feel, calling to mind what is special about our own past loves."
