"Expanding outward from previous scholarship on gender, queerness and heteronormativity
in children's literature, this book offers fresh insights into representations of
sex and sexuality in texts for young people. In this collection, new and established
scholars examine how fiction and non-fiction writing, picture books, film and television
and graphic novels position young people in relation to ideologies around sexuality,
sexual identity, and embodiment. This book questions how such texts communicate a
sense of what is possible, impossible, taboo or encouraged in terms of being sexual
and sexual being. Each chapter is motivated by a set of important questions: How are
representations of sex and sexuality depicted in texts for young people? How do these
representations affect and shape the kinds of sexualities "on offer" as models to
young readers? And to what extent is sexual diversity acknowledged and represented
across different narrative and aesthetic modes? This work brings together a diverse
range of conceptual and theoretical approaches that are framed by the idea of sexual
becoming: the manner in which texts for young people invite their readers to assess
and potentially adopt ways of thinking and being in terms of sex and sexuality"
