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. In it, her make-up consists of stylized winged eyeliner to create a doe-like effect; heavy doll-like blusher that is also lightly blended across the bridge of her nose to create an illusion of slight sunburn; and a small, glittery golden star drawn on her left cheek. Dressed in a sage green jumper accessorized with layered amethyst crystal necklaces, she talks directly to the camera: “Listen, I can’t disclose too much information at this time, however, I fear I may have . . . ” she pauses, angling her phone upwards to emphasize her bright purple hair and wispy bangs, “Manic-Pixie-Dream-Girled a bit too close to the sun.” By","PeriodicalId":45212,"journal":{"name":"WOMENS STUDIES-AN INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL","volume":"52 1","pages":"525 - 544"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48415544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Affective Discipline, Persistence, and Power in Pollyanna 1","authors":"M. Rovan","doi":"10.1080/00497878.2023.2217977","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00497878.2023.2217977","url":null,"abstract":"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","PeriodicalId":45212,"journal":{"name":"WOMENS STUDIES-AN INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL","volume":"52 1","pages":"490 - 506"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45599820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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","PeriodicalId":45212,"journal":{"name":"WOMENS STUDIES-AN INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL","volume":"52 1","pages":"566 - 585"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42337085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
