If It’s Not Yes, It’s No: Examining and Understanding Sexual Dominance in Young Adult Literature and How to Teach it Critically
2022
Overview
Purpose. This study examined how sexual dominance is depicted in young adult literature and to look at ways to teach it critically.Theoretical Framework. The theoretical framework for this study used Social Cognitive Theory to consider how humans adapt and change. Feminist theory was incorporated in this study to offer a woman’s perspective and move away from the overt patriarchal viewpoint.Methodology. A textual analysis of the literature was selected to explore and understand how culture impacts literature and vice versa, emphasizing rape culture mentality. Five young adult novels were chosen for the study, and each book was examined and evaluated using a textual analysis approach.Findings and Conclusion. The study found five major themes of sexual dominance represented in the young adult novels. The five themes were: 1) how sexual dominance and rape culture are depicted in young adult literature, 2) how young adult literature exemplifies sexual assault, 3) rape myths represented in the novels, and 4) teaching through a critical lens.Recommendations. The study focused on five specific young adult novels, future studies can focus on more books containing more diverse characters, or a smaller sample could be used to provide a more in-depth analysis. Further research on this topic should focus on including more diverse characters and books. Other alternatives could include a qualitative study focusing on one class and their interactions with the chosen novel.
