  • Traversing and contesting the textuality of gender in mainstream children's fiction
    Burcar, Lilijana
    The article first outlines the way in which mainstream children's fiction has traditionally sought to address and undermine the artificiality of oppositional and hierarchical gender paradigms. ... Pro-feminist texts that abound in mainstream children's literature have never really extricated themselves from the bonds of gender-related binarisations and hierarchizations because their approach in delineating girl protagonists has been premised primarily upon a mere reversal of masculine and feminine defined attributes. By insisting only on the examination and reversal of attributes, mainstream children's fiction has fallen short of investigating narrative mechanisms which are essential to the understanding of how subjectivities, regardless of their feminine or masculine inflections, are constituted in the first place. To address this issue, it is argued that children's mainstream literature should embrace such literary devices as metafiction and genre mixing. The article goes on to demonstrate the kind of impact these devices have in challenging and undermining the socially constructed notions of oppositional and hierarchical gender paradigms on those children who have been subject to traditional literary socialization.
