Megan L. Musgrave explores the ways that young adult fiction is becoming a platform for a public conversation about the great benefits and terrible risks of our increasing dependence upon technology in public and private life. Drawing from theories of digital citizenship and posthuman theory, Digital Citizenship in Twenty-First Century Young Adult Literature considers how the imaginary forms of activism depicted in literature can prompt young people to shape their identities and choices as citizens in a digital culture.Critical Approaches to Children's Literature,2753-0833Literature and technologyMass media and literatureChildren's literatureLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryAmericaLiteraturesLiterature and TechnologyChildren's LiteratureContemporary LiteratureNorth American LiteratureLiterature and technology.Mass media and literature.Children's literature.Literature, Modern20th century.Literature, Modern21st century.AmericaLiteratures.Literature and Technology.Children's Literature.Contemporary Literature.North American Literature.801Musgrave Megan Lauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060531BOOK9910136844303321Digital Citizenship in Twenty-First-Century Young Adult Literature2514072UNINA
