Abstract:
Science fiction written specifically for young readers has had difficulty in establishing itself as a separate genre from fantasy, especially since there is a blurred notion of what constitutes fantasy vis-a-vis science fiction in children’s literature. This difficulty is reflected in the stumbling development of children’s and YA science fiction compared to the relatively clear development of children’s and YA fantasy. As such, trying to define what science fiction for young readers is takes on a malleable, inconsistent quality compared to the more established megatexts of science fiction for adult readers. It is through these unstable definitions of science fiction for adolescents that this essay examines how selected stories from the 2016 anthology Science Fiction: Filipino Fiction for Young Adults, the first anthology of Philippine sf writing that caters directly for a young adult audience, negotiate the genre definitions of ‘science fiction’ and ‘young adult’ for a non-Western audience. Studying how these imagined futures represent the experiences of young non-Western readers who have otherwise been excluded from YA science fiction reveals how the genre can widen and expand its parameters.

Abstract:
Purpose Social justice themes permeate the social studies, history, civics, and current events curricula. The purpose of this paper is to examine how non-fiction trade books represented lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals and issues. Design/methodology/approach Trade books published after 2000 and intended for middle grades (5-8) and high school (9-12) students were analyzed. Findings Findings included main characters’ demography, sexuality, and various ancillary elements, such as connection to LGBTQ community, interactions with non-LGBTQ individuals, the challenges and contested terrain that LGBTQ individuals must traverse, and a range of responses to these challenges. Publication date, intended audience, and subgenre of non-fiction – specifically, memoir, expository, and historical text – added nuance to findings. Viewed broadly, the books generally engaged in exceptionalism, a historical misrepresentation, of one singular character who was a gay or lesbian white American. Diverse sexualities, races, ethnicities, and contexts were largely absent. Complex resistance structures were frequent and detailed. Originality/value This research contributes to previous scholarship exploring LGBTQ-themed fiction for secondary students and close readings of secondary level non-fiction trade books.

Abstract:
This article identifies the dominant modes of discourse and critiques the problematic tropes and conventions at work in a selection of contemporary young adult fiction novels about young people with queer gender identities. Beginning with the role of young adult fiction, the importance of resisting models of binary gender, the trope of coming out and the convention of the hero’s journey, this article then analyses transphobic tropes: how the narrative lens of pathos functions in these texts to reduce the queer to a state of victimization, invisibility, mental illness, otherness, isolation and not belonging. This article uses the phrase ‘queer genders’ and the term ‘trans*’ to encompass transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid and other gender non-conforming identities. ‘Trans’ without the asterisk is the shortened form of ‘transgender’.

Abstract:
Blood type as biological information is still considered a prophecy and pseudoscience that still needs to be proven. It is the easiest and cheapest among other genetic identification tools.This study aimed to map reading material selections based on blood type personality. This study was a quantitative approach through cross-sectional survey. Identification was obtained from data in identity cards and laboratory blood type tests. The study population was 100 UPI LIS students with 80 samples of young adults aged 18-22 through random sampling with stratification. The samples were: 9 respondents with AB blood type and 25 with A blood type. Respondents of O and B blood types each followed the selection of the expected sample was 20 people. Each homogeneous sample filled out a questionnaire on reading material selection aspects. Results showed that 55.6% of the AB blood type chose non-fiction books such as 'how-to' related to hobbies, and 52% of A blood type tended to select non-fiction books that support their tasks and work. Also, 81.8% of B blood type chose fiction books and adventure stories opening up fantasy horizons, and 80% of O blood type chose books that did not always have to be brought to the big screen/filmed; however, they were recommended and told. In conclusion, this blood type personality model can identify young adult clients' profiles to develop bibliotherapy service programs in different types of libraries and make it easier for librarians and bibliotherapists to recommend reading materials suitable for the benefit of preventive-curative bibliotherapy.

Abstract:
In the past few decades, Young Adult literature has become progressively more popular. Film makers, Television, Fans, Critics and Academics all seem to have an inclination towards the Young Adult field. The present mankind genus is more engrossed in the literature contextualizing analysis of broader trends. However, while Young Adult persist to expand, it often materialize that the corpus of texts which is taught, studied, and critically examined overlap with texts discussed in the popular media; this has resulted in increasingly diminutive hyper canon of texts and is very often limited to the kinds of bestseller texts that make an enormous impact on popular traditions and ethnicity. To non-experts, the Young Adult class is often considered to be identical with huge blockbuster fiction titles like Harry Potter, The Fault in Our Stars, Twilight and The Hunger Games. The Young modern adult now seeks variant approaches with tangible trends in terms of theoretical importance, cultural significance, pedagogical value or amalgamation of all these approaches

Abstract:
In this article we consider the absence of queer female protagonists in dystopian Young Adult (YA) fiction and examine how texts with queer protagonists rely on heteronormative frameworks. Often seen as progressive, dystopian YA fiction features rebellious teen girls resisting the restrictive norms of their societies, but it frequently sidelines queerness in favor of heteronormative romance for its predominantly white, able-bodied protagonists. We analyze The Scorpion Rules (2015) and Love in the Time of Global Warming (2013), both of which feature queer girl protagonists, and conclude that these texts ultimately marginalize that queerness. While they offer readers queer female protagonists, they also equate queerness with non-normative bodies and reaffirm heteronormativity. The rebellion of both protagonists effectively distances them from the queer agency they have developed throughout the narratives.

Abstract:
It is unacceptable to disregard fiction reading and writing as the caprices of a reality-deluded individual. Instead, it is an effective instrument for illuminating unsaid real-life incidents that are frequently disregarded despite existing as (non-fictitious) facts in the world. Fiction gives these mute voices a platform for discourse that would otherwise have stayed as monologues in the dark. Illness narratives are one such effort to advocate on behalf of the voiceless. One such author who sheds light on the psychological struggles faced by young adults with chronic illnesses is John Green. His book The Fault in Our Stars gives a realistic picture of the struggles that children with chronic illnesses confront on a daily basis. Frequently, people pay little attention to how someone, particularly a young adult with a chronic disease, interprets everything that goes on around them and how that interpretation eventually affects their attitude and sense of insight about life. The article seeks to highlight the psychological aspect of how a person’s lifestyle is directly impacted by the influence of particular individuals and shifts in perception.

Abstract:
Since the Korean Society for Teaching English Literature (KSTEL) was founded in 1992, it has grown into an academic organization representing English literature-related research and education in Korea through various active academic activities, including biannual academic conferences and the publication of the Journal of Teaching English Literature (JTEL) three times a year. JTEL is a vital source of information on children’s and young adult literature and literature education by featuring analyses of poetry, fiction, drama, film, and non-fictional materials and providing ideas for teaching children’s and young adult literature in the classroom. To celebrate KSTEL’s 30th anniversary, this paper reviews and draws the trajectory of the kinds of writers, literary works, and research topics that scholars have been interested in. In this paper, I comprehensively examine and analyze the changes in goals, methodology, topics, themes, perspectives, and contents of research papers related to children’s and young adult literature criticism and literature education over the past three decades. I also make some suggestions regarding the journal’s direction for the future based on personal opinions and beliefs.

Full text
Abstract:
Sexual coercion has been used to describe tactics ranging from subtle, manipulative pressure to violent physical force, with more scholarly attention on the latter. This thesis shifts the focus to non-physically violent tactics of sexual coercion, normalised in heteronormative interactions by cultural narratives of lust and seduction. It examines ‘everyday’ experiences of hetero sex to identify the role male-enacted sexual coercion plays in sexualised interactions and intimacy. Globalised outcries, predominantly in western contexts, about the extensive reach of male-enacted sexual coercion and its role in rape contextualise this research in a broader social movement (e.g. #MeToo). Twenty young adults (thirteen women, seven men) were engaged in in-depth, qualitative interviews using a semi-structured, conversational approach to obtain empirical knowledge about how participants negotiated sexual activity, enacted or experienced nonphysically violent coercion, and understood consent. An arts-based methodology then transformed participants’ experiential data into creative non-fiction, connecting readers with the emotional dimension in the findings. Within this research, both men and women demonstrated experiential knowledge of verbal, non-verbal, direct and indirect communication of consent (willingness) and non-consent (unwillingness), consistent with previous scholarship. This research substantiates previous research showing that non-instigating people not only employ refusals within normal conversational patterns, but regularly prestate boundaries, and assertively resist pressure. Coercion is employed despite clear signs of refusal. Thus, men are not the bumbling mis-communicators previous research has suggested; instead they are highly skilled communicators who employ a suite of effective tactics to manipulate and coerce all the while keeping within the bounds of normalised gender roles and sexual scripts. Suggestions that women should ‘just say no’ overlook the fact that men use coercion past the point of refusals. Refusing (whether verbally or non-verbally) is only effective if the instigator accepts it, indicating problematic attitudes and beliefs about gender and sex, rather than communication issues. In exploring everyday coercion through the lens of consent as free and willing participation, rather than compliance or coerced agreement, this research understands rape as acts that occur past a point of non-consent. While this may sound straightforward in definition, participant responses highlighted that viewing an absence of affirmative consent as rape can be confronting and challenges their understanding of both ‘normal sex’ and ‘real rape’. Rape culture myths and victim-blaming narratives have normalised male-enacted pressure and persistence to a point that rape, particularly when enacted through tactics of everyday coercion, often goes unacknowledged. This research found that men are aware of the tactics they use to coerce women and some shared motives for using everyday coercion, such as homosocial bonding and patriarchal socialisation. While some men drew on essentialised notions of gender to defend their use of coercion, or performed naivety, there was significant corroboration between how women experienced sexual coercion and how men recall enacting it. The thesis concludes that prevention of normalised sexualised violence must focus on the dismantling of patriarchal and binarised structures of gender, rape culture, and male entitlement alongside education about consent as willingness affirmatively given, free from coercion. This thesis promotes a sexual landscape in which women are understood as equally agentic within sexual exchanges and men, comfortable in their own masculinity and sexuality, are not encouraged to coerce unwanted sexual activity to assert patriarchal manhood. In this landscape people acknowledge and value both verbal and non-verbal refusals, genuinely invite communication about sexual boundaries, women and non-men’s pleasure is focused on in a way that decentralises penetration as the ‘main event’, and unwillingness to have sex is not responded to with coercion.

Abstract:
The growing concern that teenagers don't read, led to this study. The study is preceded by an explanation of aspects in which the teenager develops, the value of reading and the influence of the environment on the teenager's utilisation of leisure time. In the study, a total of 478 Afrikaans-speaking pupils from grade seven to grade ten completed different questionnaires, whereby their reading interests and habits were determined. Some of the important findings of the study are: - although teenagers indicated their preference of fiction reading as that of horror and ghost stories, the romantic Sweet Valley series is read the most; - they prefer main characters who have the same religion and interests as they have; - cartoons and the periodical, Huisgenoot, are popular with all age groups; - books in Afrikaans are seemingly not popular; - the title and blurb are "decisive in the choice of a book; - teenagers consider it as normal that so little time is spent on reading; A few recommendations are made at the end of the study.
Die groeiende kommer dat tienderjariges nie lees nie, het tot die studie gelei. Die studie is voorafgegaan deur 'n uiteensetting van die aspekte waarvolgens tienderjariges ontwikkel; die waarde van lees en die invloed van die omgewing op tienderjariges se vryetydsbesteding. In die studie het 'n totaal van 478 Afrikaanssprekende leerlinge vanaf graad sewe tot graad tien verskillende vraelyste ingevul, waardeur hul leesbelangstellings en -gewoontes vasgestel is. Van die belangrikste bevindings van die studie is: ~ alhoewel tienderjariges aangedui het dat hulle gruwelverhale of spookstories as leesbelangstelling van fiksie verkies, word die romantiese Sweet Valley reeks die meeste gelees; - hoofkarakters wat dieselfde geloof aanhang en belangstellings as hulle het, word verkies; - strokiesprente en die tydskrif, Huisgenoot, is by alle ouderdomsgroepe gewild; - boeke in Afrikaans is skynbaar nie gewild nie; - die titel en die flapteks is deurslaggewend in die keuse van 'n boek; - tienderjariges beskou dit as normaal dat so min tyd aan lees spandeer word, 'n Paar aanbevelings word aan die einde van die studie gemaak.

Abstract This chapter examines YA fiction by Nalo Hopkinson and Nnedi Okorafor and draws on Raymond Williams’s idea of dominant/residual/emergent in order to see how emergent practices—particularly those rooted in religious traditions—enable a shift of emphasis away from national or State-based identities to non-natal kinship groups as a source of power, resistance, and safety. These novels illustrate the power of reimagining the local as a challenge to dominant, environmentally destructive systems. The ancient belief systems that characters rediscover ultimately serve as modes of resistance to the Anglo-European legacies of colonialism and imperialism that have done such damage to the planet and its inhabitants.

Abstract:
The chapter discusses representations of Christian practices, religious experiences and biblical motifs in recent Scandinavian children’s and young adult literature. It is claimed that after an almost one hundred-year hiatus, during which overt Christian symbols, stories and experiences have been absent from mainstream children’s publishing, we are now witnessing a return of such religious expressions in fictional and aesthetic form. The books under scrutiny are from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and include critically acclaimed picture books as well as young adult fiction and crossover literature. It is argued that it is once again possible to bring up Christian motifs and stories in our post-secular societies, not because of increased faith in the general population, but because religious issues to a greater degree have become part of contemporary non-confessional discourse.

This chapter deconstructs the narrative of Daniel José Older’s Shadowshaper to examine the complexities of representing Latinx characters within the white theoretical framework of the young adult novel. The chapter examines how Older uses urban fantasy to create a distinct space which allows non-white bodies to exist authentically and to generate an empathic reader-response. Humanizing brown and black characters are underrepresented in speculative fiction, de-incentivizing non-white readers and denying white readers the opportunity to conceptualize the consciousness of unfamiliar cultures through strategic empathizing. Older’s diverse characters navigate and reclaim white spaces, utilizing space to challenge the reader to reconsider racial and spatial expectations.

Abstract:
Edwidge Danticat weaves Amerindian origin stories into larger Haitian histories and experiences into her work. Anacaona, Golden Flower (2006), as a text meant for young audiences, inculcates the reader into Haiti’s history and foundational myths regarding Hispaniola’s autochthonous populations. The book centers on the eponymous cacica’s coming of age. This analysis brings into relief Danticat’s didactic praxis of writing Amerindian and Afro-creole histories and mythologies in children and young adult literature. Additionally, the author gives a glimpse into the extent to which Danticat’s awareness and mindfulness of Haiti’s complete history necessarily entails Amerindian influences via a brief look into two non-fiction texts: After the Dance (2002) and “We are ugly, but we are here” (1996), which comprise both Arawak and African histories and past celebrations into today’s cultural landscape, compellingly relaying a palimpsestic view of Haiti’s cultural narrative.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the transition in children’s literature after the 1960s from colonialist to postcolonialist content as a framework for understanding contemporary Anglophone Caribbean children’s literature. Local voices integrated folklore into curricular material beginning in the 1930s, with far more expansive output after 1960. Writers offer historical and realistic fiction that countered colonialist paradigms. Waves of immigration to the US, Canada, and Great Britain (with its Caribbean Arts Movement) contributed to the rise of such literature, proliferating into children’s poetry, folklore, and rhyming books that integrating tastes of the region’s linguistic Creole-informed cadences. In the past two decades, festival awards, non-profit organizations, and local publishing houses have fostered the development of young adult literature that now treats problems common to the genre—emerging sexuality, mental health, sports, romance, and issues of identity. Writers address contemporary problems such as poverty, global warming, and political corruption through multiple genres popular among the age group including dystopian fiction, romance, mystery, and new realism, often laced with bits of Caribbean mythology.
