Summary |
Fictions of Adolescent Carnality considers one of the most controversial topics related to adolescents: their experience of desire.

The on-set of desire, within the Anglophone tradition, has been closely associated with the loss of innocence and the end of childhood. Drawing on a corpus of 200 narratives of adolescent desire, Kokkola examines the connections between sociological. |
