The year is January 2007. The verb ‘to Google’ made its way into the Oxford English Dictionary a mere six months ago, social media platform MySpace is at the height of its popularity while Facebook and Twitter are in their infancy, and video rental stores such as Blockbuster and Xtra-Vision are still going strong. As the dust settles from Western Christmas and New Year celebrations, film critic Nathan Rabin publishes a review of Cameron Crowe’s film Elizabethtown (2005) in which he coins the term ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’ (MPDG), citing Kirsten Dunst’s role as quirky flight attendant Clare Colburn in Crowe’s film and Natalie Portman’s as Sam in Zach Braff’s Garden State (2004) as “prime examples” of the trope (“Bataan March”). Though the term gained traction after the publication of Rabin’s review, between 2012 and 2013 pop culture writers such as Kat Stoeffel and Aisha Harris were claiming the Pixie was dead. Fast-forward to 2021. Facebook and Twitter now have millions of users and have been joined by TikTok, Instagram, BeReal and more. MySpace is now all but defunct and streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime made brick-and-mortar video rentals obsolete long ago, their place in everyday life cemented by various Coronavirus pandemic lockdowns. On the 19 October, TikTok user @allcakenocheese posted a seven-second video.

Sentimental fiction in the late 19 century often emphasized affective discipline, or the use of love and affective ties as a tool for vulnerable populations to gain power over others and enact a positive change in their views or behaviors. In this way, vulnerability became a form of power. Affective discipline suggests that vulnerability serves a necessary social function; individuals must witness the suffering of others in order to change their ways and follow the path of righteousness. During the Progressive Era, these tropes were adopted and adapted by the writers of orphan girl stories. These stories feature orphan girls who transform the lives of their reluctant guardians through affective discipline, using the power of their emotional bonds to effect change. Building on this trope, early 20 century authors also demonstrate suspicion of its glorification of vulnerability. The power that affective discipline offers does not always compensate for the vulnerability it requires. Eleanor H. Porter’s Pollyanna and Pollyanna Grows Up offer particularly fertile ground for an examination of how turn-of-the-century children’s authors re-imagined affective discipline and adapted the trope of vulnerability as power. Growing out of the sentimental tradition, the Pollyanna texts explore ways in which vulnerable populations can obtain power through sympathy. As products of the Progressive Era, however, the texts also interrogate this power, acknowledging its limitations and demonstrating the need for larger, institutional changes to address problems beyond its scope. Porter modernizes the tropes of affective discipline with a few key changes. First, she replaces the dying or suffering child at the center of much 19 century sentimental fiction with a healthy and happy one. She foregrounds the power of youthful joy, optimism, and imagination, using the child’s positive influence rather than the adult’s sense of guilt or pity to effect conversions. Despite her vulnerability and the loss of her parents, Pollyanna is not a figure of suffering or pity; she seems generally pleased with her life and seemingly unaware of both her vulnerability and
19世纪后期的感伤小说通常强调情感纪律，或者将爱情和情感联系作为弱势群体获得他人权力的工具，并在他们的观点或行为上做出积极的改变。就这样，脆弱变成了一种力量。情感纪律表明，脆弱是一种必要的社会功能;个人必须目睹他人的痛苦，才能改变自己的方式，走上正义之路。在进步时代，这些比喻被孤儿故事的作者采用和改编。这些故事讲述的是孤儿女孩通过情感约束改变了不情愿的监护人的生活，利用情感纽带的力量来实现改变。在这一比喻的基础上，20世纪早期的作家们也对其美化脆弱性表示怀疑。情感约束提供的力量并不总是补偿它所要求的脆弱性。埃莉诺·h·波特(Eleanor H. Porter)的《波利安娜》和《波利安娜长大了》为研究世纪之交的儿童作家如何重新想象情感纪律，并将脆弱比喻为力量提供了特别肥沃的土壤。从感性的传统中成长出来，乐观主义文本探索了弱势群体通过同情获得权力的方式。然而，作为进步时代的产物，这些文本也质疑这种权力，承认其局限性，并表明需要更大的制度变革来解决超出其范围的问题。波特通过一些关键的改变使情感纪律的比喻现代化。首先，她用一个健康快乐的孩子取代了19世纪许多感伤小说中垂死或受苦的孩子。她强调了年轻人的快乐、乐观和想象力的力量，利用孩子的积极影响，而不是成年人的内疚或怜悯感来实现转变。尽管她很脆弱，失去了父母，但波利安娜并不是一个痛苦或怜悯的人物;她似乎对自己的生活很满意，似乎没有意识到自己的脆弱和

On February 1, 2021, a police officer pepper-sprayed a nine-year-old Black girl outside her home in Rochester, New York, alleging that “she was behaving like a child, which elicited a response from the young Black girl proclaiming, ‘I am a child!’ (Smith-Purviance 196). This exemplar of “anti-Blackgirl violence” elucidates that Black girl’s lives are illegible (196). Black girls are treated as “non-children” unworthy of protection and outside the realm of “child/human” (196). Consequently, as Audre Lorde surmises, Black girls often sacrifice their right to childhood innocence to survive the conditions of white supremacy. Dorothy E. Hines and Jemimah L. Young articulate this non/being status as “antiBlack girlhood,” stating that for Black girls, childhood is often “contentious, disrupted, or non-existent” (283, 285). Indeed, Black girls are systematically perceived as “less innocent and more adult-like than their white peers,” a phenomenon that has been termed “adultification” (Epstein et al. 1–2). The adultification of Black girls contributes to their harsher sentencing or “hyperpunishment,” the hypersexualization of their bodies, and their criminalization in educational settings leading to the “school-to-prison pipeline” that causes the disproportionate representation of Black girls in juvenile detentions and prisons (Battle 116–120). Moreover, there has been an “exponential increase in the deaths of Black women and
