Aprašymas

Current characters in children's media illustrate a growing trend of representations that challenge or subvert traditional notions of gender and sexuality. From films to picture books to animated television series, children's media around the world has consistently depicted stereotypically traditional sex roles and heterosexual relationships as the normal way that people act and engage with one another.

Heroes, Heroines, and Everything in Between: Challenging Gender and Sexuality Stereotypes in Children's Entertainment Media examines how this media ecology now includes a presence for nonheteronormative genders and sexualities. It considers representations of such identities in various media products (e.g. comic books, television shows, animated films, films, children's literature) meant for children (e.g. toddlers to teenagers). Contributors seek to identify and understand characterizations that go beyond these traditional understandings of gender and sexuality. By doing so, they explore these nontraditional representations and consider what they say about the current state of children's media, popular culture, and global acceptance of these gender identities and sexualities.
