- W2765156904 abstract "Hailey Haffey Dept. of English University of Utah Rebellious Reproductions: Literary Anxieties Over Gender and Power in Adult-Child Relationships I want to consider the modern child as an always-already feminized and thus colonized object. My methodology entails readings and theoretical analysis of related sections in three novels: What Maisie Knew by Henry James, Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie, and Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov. I contend that dominant Western culture tends to render children as feminine and thus own-able. These novels show how these constructions serve to control and manipulate children’s capacity for autonomous action and thought. Such freedoms are ultimately linked back to their constructed relationship to a generalized “feminine” objectification and the reproductive abilities associated with that category. While children are feminized as property in all three novels, they are usually treated as non-biologically reproductive. Nonetheless, these novels’ children present constant and terrifying threats of what we might call “figurative reproduction” through alliances with other children, with adults or through auto-didacticism. The aims that incur the most anxiety in adults include children’s projected desires to become emancipated (Peter Pan), to act as intermediaries in adult sexual relations (Maisie), and to induce deviant desires in adults (Lolita). Children’s figurative reproductive capacities, (or their ability to “make” things and “make” things happen) cause fissures in adult-“child” relations. Children’s abilities ironically justify their need to be under the total control of adults. This control is necessary for an idealized future that proceeds not from the imaginations of children but from their adult masters. In all three examples," @default.
