Queer Anxieties of Young Adult Literature and Culture

Více o knize

The book explores the surge in LGBTQ+ representation in young adult literature and media, examining its impact on adolescent sexuality and cultural anxieties. It raises critical questions about the effectiveness of "coming out" stories and the potential consequences of increased visibility for queer teens. Through analysis of various media, including books, video games, and TV shows, the author argues for a redefinition of queer young adult literature as a transmedia phenomenon centered on the theme of anxiety rather than just visibility, prompting a deeper engagement with these narratives.
