Content
This unit focuses on contemporary novels and films for young adults, an increasingly prominent market segment. Students will consider young adults as an implied audience and identify the ideological and socialising agendas in texts, map the processes of maturity to adulthood. Attention is paid to theories dealing with notions of adolescence as a cultural and historical construct, and to the ways in which these texts have the potential to reinforce and remodel identity and power structures, both within texts and in contemporary culture.
