Description

Explore how the concept of the teenager is shaped through literature and culture in Constructing Adolescence in Fantastic Realism. Published by Routledge, this academic work looks beyond traditional psychology and sociology to see how adolescence is represented through symbolic storytelling. This book examines how frameworks like identity formation, social agency, and subjectivity appear within cultural spaces. It investigates how fantastic tropes serve as representations of developmental stages. Readers will find analysis of how elements such as metamorphosis, time-slips, and hauntings function as models for understanding the adolescent experience. By connecting literary themes to cultural contexts, this text provides a unique perspective on how magic gifts, invisibility, doppelgangers, and witchcraft act as symbols for the transition into adulthood. It is a valuable resource for those studying children's literature and the cultural construction of youth.
