Abstract:Two recent transmedia narratives—Karuna Riazi's 2017 middle-grade novel The Gauntlet and the 2017 film Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle—have attempted to reclaim the 1995 film Jumanji's colonial narrative (adapted from Chris Van Allsburg's 1981 picture book). Both present forms of the "portal fantasy," in which a protagonist supernaturally breaches the borders of another world. The Gauntlet transports its Muslim Bangladeshi American protagonist to a fantastical board game, whereas Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle reconfigures the genre as multimedia immersive gameplay in a fictional "other" realm. Although these reworkings seemingly destabilize white supremacy by centring multi-ethnic American identities, their negotiations with the board game, itself a product of imperial history and a manifestation of the "gamification" of empire (wherein progress is measured by control of the board) complicate this. The creation of an American neo-colonial nationalism through a system of orientalizing these fantastic spaces (the jungle within the 2017 film and Riazi's clockwork Islamic city) affirms the need for their control or eventual destruction by the protagonists. This effectively creates cultural borders that extend into these fictional spaces, playing out historical systems of empire in a bid to gain access to neo-empire.
摘要:最近的两部跨媒体叙事作品——karuna Riazi 2017年的中学小说《Gauntlet》和2017年的电影《勇敢者:欢迎来到丛林》——试图重现1995年电影《勇敢者:欢迎来到丛林》(改编自Chris Van Allsburg 1981年的绘本)的殖民叙事。两者都呈现了“传送门幻想”的形式，即主角超自然地突破了另一个世界的边界。《Gauntlet》将孟加拉裔美国穆斯林主角带入了一款奇幻棋盘游戏，而《勇敢者:欢迎来到丛林》则将这类游戏重新配置为一个虚构的“其他”领域的多媒体沉浸式游戏。虽然这些重新设计似乎通过集中多种族美国人的身份而动摇了白人至上主义，但他们与棋盘游戏的谈判，本身就是帝国历史的产物，也是帝国“游戏化”的表现(其中进步是通过对棋盘的控制来衡量的)，使这种情况变得复杂。通过将这些奇妙的空间(2017年电影中的丛林和Riazi的发条式伊斯兰城市)东方化的系统，美国新殖民主义民族主义的创造，肯定了主角对它们的控制或最终毁灭的需要。这有效地创造了延伸到这些虚构空间的文化边界，发挥了帝国的历史系统，以获得进入新帝国的机会。

Abstract:In several Finnish films of the 2000s, Finland is portrayed as divided geographically into two parts: the small urban area around Finland's capital, Helsinki, in the south and the rural areas in the country's north. This polarization frames conceptualizations of social class, particularly in films that depict young people leaving their homes. Forbidden Fruit (Kielletty hedelmä) and August (Elokuu) are examples of Finnish cinema in the 2000s that negotiate ideas about class and circulate this polarized imagination through geography. Both films depict the young leaving their homes and then clashing with a geographically marked border. The films are analyzed in the context of the neo-liberal success story which defines the ideal subject of contemporary society. The article argues that the cinematic journeys of the young show the power of geography in reproducing class structures.

Abstract:In this article, I seek to place Zibby Oneal's In Summer Light and Diedre Baker's Becca Fair and Foul in dialogue with the body of texts that adapt Shakespeare's works into literature for children. In each of these novels, young women interpret and adapt Shakespeare's The Tempest. Both texts are self-reflexive adaptations; the stories themselves resonate thematically and geographically with The Tempest, and yet both are overtly conscious of the process and politics of adaptation containing, as they do, characters who interpret and critique Shakespeare's text.

Abstract:Drawing on the Transforming Disability Knowledge, Research, and Activism project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (2016-2020), this article critically reflects on the project's participatory research process that involved young women and girls with disabilities in the Global South. I discuss epistemological and methodological questions related to the deployment of decolonizing research methodologies in the Global South in relation to theoretical and methodological approaches for engaging girls with disabilities. I argue that a critical, reflexive, and decolonizing research approach that embodies knowledge from the Global South is essential for empowering these girls to express themselves through multiple forms of representation.
摘要:本文以加拿大社会科学与人文研究理事会(Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, 2016-2020)资助的“转化残疾知识、研究和行动主义”项目为背景，批判性地反思了该项目中涉及全球南方年轻残疾妇女和女童的参与性研究过程。我讨论了认识论和方法论问题，这些问题与在全球南方部署非殖民化研究方法有关，涉及与残疾女孩接触的理论和方法论方法。我认为，批判性、反思性和非殖民化的研究方法体现了来自全球南方的知识，这对于赋予这些女孩权力，让她们通过多种形式的代表来表达自己至关重要。

Abstract:This article is the result of a collaboration between two academics—one Indigenous and one non-Indigenous—to investigate the representation of Indigeneity in two contemporary YA novels. Melissa Lucashenko's killing Darcy is narrated by multiple Indigenous and non-Indigenous characters, whereas Clare Atkins's Nona and Me is told from the perspective of a white character and explores her relationship with an Indigenous community. Cultural identity forms a significant part of well-being, and this article investigates versions of sufficient well-being. It explores how the novels represent flourishing subjects—both Indigenous and non-Indigenous—in the context of Australia as it struggles to come to terms with its colonial past and demonstrates how cognitive mapping replaces damaging colonial assumptions about Indigenous Peoples with a model of overcoming.
摘要：本文是两位学者——一位土著人和一位非土著人——合作的结果，旨在研究当代YA小说中愤怒的表现。梅丽莎·卢卡申科（Melissa Lucashenko）的《杀死达西》（Darcy）由多个土著和非土著角色讲述，而克莱尔·阿特金斯（Clare Atkins）的《诺娜和我》（Nona and Me）则是从一个白人角色的角度讲述的，并探讨了她与土著社区的关系。文化认同是幸福感的重要组成部分，本文调查了充分幸福感的版本。它探讨了小说如何在澳大利亚努力接受其殖民历史的背景下代表蓬勃发展的主题——包括土著和非土著——并展示了认知映射如何用克服的模式取代对土著人民的破坏性殖民假设。

Abstract:This article examines the current discourse of “ethical technology” or “tech humanism” as it relates to young people’s use of mobile and social media. Reminiscent of earlier moral and media panics surrounding the use of communication technologies by young people, the current rhetoric focuses on “internet addiction” and other health aspects, and whether and how tech companies should be responsible for the use of their products and services. It is a contested debate that has brought together reformed Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs, policy-makers, health specialists, academics, educators, and parents. In this article we demonstrate the range of stakeholders deeply engaged in these debates to argue that while there is genuine concern about the power and influence of social media and digital technologies, fears about young people’s relationships with digital technology has been profitable, and discourse on “internet addiction” has worked in ways that protect corporations and redirect condemnation away from them and toward the young people they are claiming to protect. In making this argument, we trace a history of “internet addiction” research in order to situate the current discourse, examine the rhetorical shift that emphasizes the health effects of technology on young people, survey the stakeholders leading these debates, and assesses the corporate responsibility of tech companies that depend on the commodification of young people’s content for their bottom line.
