Description

Constructing Adolescence in Fantastic Realism examines how adolescence is shaped and represented through fantastic literary tropes in children's literature and cultural studies. This Routledge title explores the symbolic frameworks that define teenage identity, including metamorphosis, time-slip, hauntings, doppelgangers, invisibility, magic gifts, and witchcraft. Rather than drawing solely from psychology, sociology, and education discourses, the book analyses how developmental models, identity formation, social agency, and subjectivity emerge through fantastic realism narratives. The work bridges literary analysis and cultural criticism to reveal how young adult literature constructs meaning around the teenage experience, offering scholars and students a comprehensive exploration of adolescence as represented in fantasy fiction and contemporary cultural contexts.
