Epilogue.This book 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. The book focuses on a range of literary and film genres, from ‘classic’ texts, to experimental, carnivalesque, magical realist, and cross-cultural texts. .Palgrave Studies in Adaptation and Visual Culture,2634-6303Children's literatureAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.)SociologySocial groupsFilm genresChildren's LiteratureAdaptation StudiesSociology of Family, Youth and AgingGenre StudiesChildren's literature.Adaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.)Sociology.Social groups.Film genres.Children's Literature.Adaptation Studies.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.Genre Studies.809.89282McCallum Robynauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut602700BOOK9910300020203321Screen Adaptations and the Politics of Childhood2240954UNINA
