A Is for Adults: The Sexualization of Children's Literature and the Subversion of Innocence
Dr. Eric Tribunella
Wednesday / April 16, 2008 / 3:30-4:30
Cook Library, University of Southern Mississippi (Room 123)
Dr. Eric Tribunella "considers the motives and effects of sexualized retellings of children's literature and how they work to subvert notions of childhood innocence in favor of childhood agency" in "A Is for Adults: The Sexualization of Children's Literature and the Subversion of Innocence." One saucy retelling takes the form of a graphic novel and has Wendy (Peter Pan), Dorothy (Wizard of Oz), and Alice (as in Wonderland) meet up and discuss their "adventures."
