ix, 280 p. ; 22 cm. This title features a cutting edge approach to the study of film adaptations of literature for children and young people, and the narratives about childhood those adaptations enact. Historically, film media has always had a partiality for the adaptation of 'classic' literary texts for children. As economic and cultural commodities, McCallum points out how such screen adaptations play a crucial role in the cultural reproduction and transformation of childhood and youth, and indeed are a rich resource for the examination of changing cultural values and ideologies, particularly around contested narratives of childhood. The chapters examine various representations of childhood: as shifting states of innocence and wildness, liminality, marginalisation and invisibility. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. by Robyn McCallum Children's literature Film adaptations History and criticism Children in motion pictures Children in motion pictures Children's literature 791.436523 MCC-S 9781137395405 (hardcover) 1137395400 (hardcover) 171016 20190220103014.0 20063304
