Young Adult literature: accepted and mature? Its position within the literary polysystem
Start a new DMP in Loading
The term Young Adult literature, introduced from the US in 2010 and intended to describe the category of books written for young adults between 15 and 25 years old, is gaining ground in the Dutch literary system. Several individuals and organizations are involved in creating, producing and consuming Young Adult literature. By using the methods of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu to research the actors that play a role in the distribution and material and symbolic production of this literature (e.g. publishers, booksellers, librarians, critics, reading promoters, teachers), this research project aims to determine the position that Young Adult literature takes within the literary polysystem.
