A Land of Good Girls
girlhood
children’s dystopia - Opis:
- The author analyzes girlhood regulation in a traditional Russian family as represented in Anna Starobinets’ novel A Land of Good Girls. The novel depicts how a family controls the behavior of a girl through value constructs of “good” and “bad” girls. Starobinets chooses the genre of dystopia as a tool for portraying girls’ position in the social institution of the family. Moreover, the genre of dystopia expresses the pessimistic view of modern Russian reality as well as the contemporary upbringing principles which continue to be based on traditional values. The author of A Land of Good Girls encourages adult readers to re-evaluate their attitudes toward the younger generation and to abolish the outdated normative system. Starobinets uses a child’s viewpoint, notably one of a “bad,” “inconvenient” and insubordinate child, to reveal the hypocrisy and artificiality of the adult world, as well as to argue for the necessity of change.
