cfr: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called cfr.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Folklore; Play; Games; Girls; Culture; Boys; School; York; Time; Book; Stories; People; Childhood; Story; Adult; Life; Literature; Family; Adults; Fairy; Women; Legend; Boy; City; Man; Performance; 10/31/11; Cfr_2005; Tale; Adventure; Feet; Sunday; Aunt; Jared; Oxford

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Sutton-Smith’s Five Easy Pieces by Mechling, Jay (2015) - Put briefly, they focus on Bateson’s point (in his “Theory of Play and Fantasy,” the foundational essay on play frames) that “the peculiarity of play … CFR_2015_R.indb 34 11/22/15 10:41 AM Mechling Sutton-SMith’S In that address Brian explained that (as the handout outline for his address puts it) the address and book would be “my response to my deconstruction of play theories without providing an alternative in The Ambiguity of Play, 1997.” Keywords: analysis; brian; children; folklore; games; girls; mechling; new; play; press; smith; study; sutton; university; work
• Brian Sutton-Smith (1924-2015) by Tucker, Elizabeth (2015) - I first met Brian when he gave a lecture about children’s storytelling, based on stories told by children aged two to ten that his team of students had collected in New York; these narratives became the foundation for his Folkstories of Children (1981). Brian received New Zealand’s first Ph.D. in education in 1954 and traveled to the United States as a Fulbright scholar shortly afterwards. Keywords: brian; children; folklore
• Trickster’s Economics: Conservation and Innovation in the Game of Jinx by Howard, Jeffrey G. (2014) - C.W. Sullivan III says, “Children’s games … often include rhymes,” but the appearance of rhyme in recorded Jinx versions is rare, although in its predecessor “Needles and Pins” rhyming is standard issue (Sullivan 1995, 147). Thus, by replacing games like “Needles and Pins” with “Jinx” allowed children to express that type of antagonism verbally when they were not allowed to express it physically. Keywords: children; folklore; game; jinx; knapp; lydia; rhyme; time; trickster; version
• Children’s Folkore in the Twenty-First Century: Folklorists of Childhood respond to the Newtown Tragedy by Tucker, Elizabeth (2014) - In the aftermath of the horrifying tragedy at Newtown in 2012, in which twenty children and six teachers died at the hands of a late-adolescent shooter, this panel again gathers folklorists of childhood to re-examine the use and urgency of children’s and adolescents’ folklore for youth and adults. We plan to examine the culture of childhood from multiple vantage points, exploring how children and adolescents maintain their own culture and what methods and strategies we choose to use in our research. Keywords: children; folklore
• Preface for Special Issue of Children’s Folklore Review: Mormon Children’s Folklore by Mould, Tom (2013) - Many young children bear their testimonies during Fast and Testimony meetings long before the still young age of eight, the “age of awareness” among Latter-day Saints when children are assumed to be mature and competent enough to make at least one choice of their own free will: the choice to be baptized. Yet despite what may seem an accelerated trajectory into adulthood, as Rife and Ellsworth show, LDS children find ample time to play, both outside and inside church meetings. Keywords: children; church; folklore; lds; mormon; young
• Volume 37, 2015 by Editor, OJS (2015) - It seems to S-S/K-B that despite all the research on play presented at the conference and in this volume, the “most general strategy for not studying child play seems to be to write articles on their functions and pretty much to ignore the detailed moment by moment description of the experience itself as if we already know what that experience is” (1984:186). Of the 111 societies, data on games and game play were available in the Cross-Cultural Survey and Human Relations Area Files based at Yale University.

• Volume 36, 2014 by Editor, CFR (2014) - Comments on choking and fainting game videos display a similar dynamic, in which teenaged skeptics engage other teens and adults in lively, sometimes acrimonious dialogue. Although he was described as a “shut-in,” classmates remembered a boy involved in outdoor activities of soccer and skateboarding in addition to playing video games and reading indoors (O’Leary 2013; see also Flegenheimer and Somaiya 2012).

• Playing for Change: The Performative Functions of Children’s Piano Play by Ellsworth, Brant W. (2013) - Mormon children are first and foremost children and by tracing repetition and variation of piano play among other children, my analysis suggests a universal performative function. This scene is effective at conveying Hanks’ inner-turmoil because similar impromptu concerts are performed daily, flash-mob style, by children at pianos around the world and are recognized, around the world, as children songs.

• Volume 34, 2012 by Editor, CFR (2012) - The Structure of Yo Momma Jokes In regard to form, Yo Momma jokes are distinct, stable, and easily identifiable. While the content of Yo Momma jokes is usually traditional, YouTube offers innovative new ways for participants not only to manipulate jokes’ performance contexts, but also to create new contexts entirely.

• Nascent Folklore: Communication and Aesthetics in Infancy by Schramm, Katharine R. M. (2011) - I think that we as ethnographers must be willing to spend the time necessary to interpret infant behavior in long-term ethnographic context, to recognize individuated cries and gestures, as well as culturally-relevant recognizing of infant intention — what is recognized will be responded to. Knowing that infants are intentional agents and recognizing infant intention may be separate matters.

• Volume 33, 2011 by Editor, CFR (2011) - This research into the songs, games, and rhymes of African American children suggests strongly that it is no accident African Americans have contributed to world music, to an original American literary landscape. The verbal prowess of African American children played on sidewalks in urban spaces is a direct link to the popular culture, music and story-telling nature of what become commercial raps.

• Finding New Monsters in Old Places: A Review of the Works of Simon J. Bronner Through an Age-Intersectional Lens by Hutcheson, Cory Thomas (2017) - What, then, are those who disseminate the tales to younger children getting out of the exchange? My piece discussed the phenomenon of father-child “horror play,” in which the adult pretends to be a monster in pursuit of the child or children. Keywords: belsnickel; bronner; children; father; folklore; new; tales
• Volume 38, 2017 by Editor, CFR (2017) - They are clearly intended to teach children proverbs, just as other children’s books acquaint youngsters with fables, fairy tales, legends, myths, etc. This book is clearly meant to teach children proverbs, and my proverb students would be able to explain to the little girl that the proverb “First come, first served” is actually a medieval Latin legal proverb that relates to the miller.

• “I Saw Mrs. Saray, Sitting on a Bombalerry”: Ralph Ellison Collects Children's Folklore by Baron, Robert (2010) - Much of African American folklore, BARON “I SAW MRS. SARAY, SITTING ON A BOMBALERRY” 45 like many of the children’s traditions Ellison collected, is distinctively African American in character, created and shaped by blacks in the Southern United States and Harlem. In The Craft of Ralph Ellison, O’Meally indicates that Ellison perceived Southern sources “even when the Harlem lore seemed indigenous,” and he would sometimes “recognize a remnant of a saying or rhyme he had heard in the South reduced to a `mumble’ or nonsense phrase in Harlem.” O’Meally discusses Ellison’s contention that these traditions suggested a bridge to the south and to African ancestry, and he cites Ellison as stating that their “tradition goes way back to the South, and some of it goes back to Africa” (1980, 34).

• Cheeky Behavior: The Meaning and Function of ‘Fartlore’ in Childhood and Adolescene by Blank, Trevor J. (2010) - After all, adults are more than capable of participating in flatulence humor or games. 61 CHEEKY BEHAVIOR: THE MEANING AND FUNCTION OF ‘FARTLORE’ IN CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE TREVOR J. BLANK Whether it is due to social taboos about bodily functions or sheer ingenuity, flatulence has well over a dozen common terms associated with its occurrence: passing gas, breaking wind, letting one rip (or go), cutting the cheese, busting ass, pooting, tooting, foofing, fluffing, puffing; folk retorts that mask the anxieties caused by flatulence through euphemistic annotations also exist, such as “dropping a bomb,” “making a stinker,” “cooking some eggs,” “baking brownies,” “making an air biscuit,” “stepping on a duck,” “cracking a boom-boom,” or “rolling out some thunder.” Keywords: american; behavior; boise; bronner; children; control; dundes; example; farting; fartlore; flatulence; folklore; functions; gas; humor; ikastola; jones; journal; new; passing; play; press; society; university; york
• Children’s Folklore: A Handbook by Elizabeth Tucker by Castleman, Michele D. (2010) - In its place, the Contexts section (Chapter Five) lists autobiographies, children’s literature, film, television, toys, games and dolls as recommended media for exploring children’s folklore without presenting the reader with rigorous methodologies for data collection among children and youth. However, even if the argument is restricted by page numbers, the book should incite discussion across academic disciplines, bringing together folklorists and child-rights activists, cultural studies and children’s literature scholars. Keywords: children; folklore; studies
• Volume 32, 2010 by Editor, CFR (2010) - The worker was informed that this game was learned from other children, while one girl, Catherine Mason, said she learned it in Richmond Va. Lady in the River (a game song) There’s a lady in the river Sail away, sail away, sail away There’s a lady in the river Sail away, Looking for her lover Sail away, sail away, sail away. Short verses were found widely among New York City children — Halpert speaks in his proposal for Children’s Rhymes and Games of the “distinctly New Yorkese rhyme which is short, snappy and to the point.” Keywords: african; american; american folklore; baron; basque; boise; bombalerry; book; childhood; children; cinderella; city; collection; culture; disney; ellison; fartlore; fiction; films; flatulence; folklore; games; girls; halpert; harlem; ikastola; itnyre; journal; language; literature; man; mrs; new; new york; notes; people; performance; play; pocahontas; press; princess; research; review; rhymes; saray; sexual; snow; society; songs; studies; study; thursby; time; traditions; university; use; white; women; world; years; york; young
• Vol 31 (2008-2009) by Editor, CFR (2009) - She has to go to a different school and wear a gold star on her sleeve, she cannot sit on certain benches in the park, and when a group of Jewish children are taken away, she and her family go into hiding. Eight-year-old Rachel Hartog, a Jewish girl living in Holland, can’t understand why there are restrictions on Jews all of a sudden--she must go to a different school, she must wear a gold star on her sleeve, she can’t sit in certain benches in the park--and when a group of Jewish children are taken away, she and her family go into hiding.

• Children's Oral Poetry: Identity and Obscenity by Sullivan III, C. W. (2009) - Children use traditional rhymnes in what Iona and Peter Opie, in The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren, call “oral legislation” (1959, 121-153); that is, they use rhymes in the way older children and adults use books of rules. Introduction We were all children once, and according to children’s folklorist Jay Mechling, that might pose a problem for collectors of children’s folklore.

• A Reassessment of Children's Folklore Classification by Hercbergs, Dana (2008) - For instance, through ethnographic research folklorists can evaluate the extent CFR_2006-07_R3.indb 26 11/6/08 11:46:06 AM HERCBERGS A REASSESSMENT OF CHILDREN’S FOLKLORE CLASSIFICATION 27 to which children and teens who from a young age engage in mass-mediated digital gaming experience it as hyper-reality or a simulation of reality (Baudrillard 1983, 38 in Rodaway 1995, 246). CFR_2006-07_R3.indb 27 11/6/08 11:46:06 AM A REASSESSMENT OF CHILDREN’S FOLKLORE CLASSIFICATION HERCBERGS 28 While this model accounts for performer-audience interaction only, through which it elucidates the relationships among the genres in an accessible and convincing way, its shortcoming as far as play is concerned is that it does not account for interaction, identification or engrossment in the static genres themselves, some of which are placed outside of the realm of folklore — what Abrahams calls “a product of technology” (213) — nor does it make room for considering the figurative and dynamic play world to which that they may give rise.6 And yet, folklorists have demonstrated the imaginative capacity of children when playing with mass-produced toys.

• An Eclectic Schoolteacher: Dorothy Howard as Applied Folklorist by Rosenberg, Jan (2008) - Like her teachers before her, Boas, Benedict, and Mead,4 Howard saw children as constituting a folk group with their own system of expressions, mores, and beliefs. Dr. Howard called herself an “eclectic school teacher” in her authoethnographic writings, most of which are not dated. Keywords: children; dorothy; education; folklore; folklorist; howard; lessons; new; students
• Vol 30 (2007-2008) by Editor, CFR (2008) - I don’t know in what way this altered the answers he gave me and I will need to do further research with other children to get a more informed sense of how private these assemblages really are. There is a difference between the outcome of Dead Man’s Rise and that of Green Man Rise-O: instead of rising from the dead, the deceased person becomes a frightening ghost that will relentlessly pursue other children.

• Found Photographs and Children's Folklore by Mechling, Jay (2005) - Moving pictures (film or video) are the best media for capturing how children move their bodies in space, how they position themselves in relation to playmates, how they touch or don't touch other children, and 14 MECHLING FOUND PHOTOGRAPHS so on, but still photography can capture some of the ways children use bodies and space, and snapshots of children reach much farther back into history than do home movies and home video. Photographs of Children The earliest photographs of children, given the bulky technology and the long exposure times required by that technology, are usually set in studios.

• Vol 27 (2004-2005) by Editor, CFR (2005) - Recurring themes in the handbook clarify the focus of Girl Scout preparedness: Girl Scout training can prevent accidents or rescue people involved in them; Girl Scout activities such as camping and hiking ensure girls' physical health; and members of the organization learn efficient methods of housecleaning and childcare. The letters often expressed urgency on the part of the girls who had asked the letter-writers to get Girl Scout materials for them.

• Gender Issues in the Playground Rhymes of New Zealand Children: 1993-2003: An Analysis of the Gender Issues Embedded Within the Playground Rhymes of New Zealand Children by Ackerley, Janice (2004) - These issues are both culturally constructed and are part of the subversive nature of playground rhymes (Grugeon, 1993). This researcher believes that it is important to go beyond the col- lection of playground rhymes and to interrogate the text, in this instance looking for issues related to gender.

• Mean Girls: The Reclassification of Children's and Adolescents' Folklore by Tucker, Elizabeth (2003) - Although most of the Knapps' coverage of children's jeers is not gender- specific, their description of Slam Books shows that girls are in charge: Girls 'keep' these books, but boys and girls alike write in them (79). The media have given more attention to boys' bullying than girls': a natural choice, since the perpetrators of the Columbine massacre and other school shootings were boys.

• Vol 24 (2002) by Editor, CFR (2002) - Rather than a collection of photographs of toys and other items the boys' treasured, their photographs ranged from a dead rat to another boy's special friends (adults from the community who act as personal mentors), from pictures of other boys to pictures' of their toys, from the staff at 80 REDWOOD GROVE: YOUTH CULTURE IN A GROUP HOME Redwood Grove to Redwood Grove itself.

Indeed, psychoanalytical interpretations have arguably been applied to adolescent legends and rituals more than they have to the traditions of other age groups because of the perception that anxieties especially need expression and resolution during adolescence.

• Knowing What Children Believe: Believing What Children Know by Sullivan III, C. W. (1996) - Believing What Children Know C.W. Sullivan III Children's Folklore is an age-bounded folklore which circulates among children up to about age twelve. Mechling suggests that folklorists who collect from children—or, perhaps worse, those who collect from other adults their memories of what they did when they were children-fail to recognize that they are collecting materials from members of a significantly different culture and must proceed accordingly. Keywords: adult; children; culture; folklore; home; mechling

Bronner by Samuelson, Sue (1995) - She was indeed an appropriate figure to discuss adolescent folklore in a project surveying the field of children's folklore sponsored by the Children's Folklore Section. Sue's paper on adolescent folklore had a significant message to offer about the need for consideration of folklore genres that char- acterize adolescence as a distinctive phase of life.

(1994) - Besides, some of the servicemen were black—the personification of the Man in black, the Stranger, or Foreigner who occupied a boogey-man/ frightening figure role in Newfoundland childhood cultural tradition, as documented by John Widdowson in If You Don't Be Good (see especially page 275). It might benefit our understanding of the acquisition and dynamic operation of culture (whether indi- vidual, group or national) if we were to consider seriously the 19 Carpenter possibility of childhood cultural experiences having a similar formative influence on each person as a cultural being.

• Expressing and Creating Ourselves in Childhood: A Commentary by Bronner, Simon J. (1992) - Editor of the Journal of American Folklore from 1900-1907, he promoted child study in the under- standing of culture as the pivot that allows for examination of yesterday and to-morrow, for children as a semiliterate society inherit the oral tradition of the past and use it to shape the future. If American children do not recognize them as 51 Bronner stories, then they may employ their structures in their own playful expressions using repetition and rhythm.

• Vol 13 No. 2 (1991) by Editor, CFR (1991) - Other children express their ambivalence through stories or through verbalized musings that at first 8 Santa Claus glance may appear to contain logical inconsistencies, but which I think actually illustrate this push-pull attribute of opposing emotional feelings. Furthermore, ambivalence may be a dominant feature in younger children's accounts because they have not yet learned to deny their hope or desire that such fantasy figures exist; older children, on the other hand, may not express ambivalence even if they feel it, perhaps because they are aware of the strong social assessment regarding age-appropriate behavior.

• Games and Their Rhetorics: An Idiosyncratic Appreciation of The Contributions of Brian Sutton-Smith by Chick, Garry (2015) - Of the 111 societies, data on games and game play were available in the Cross-Cultural Survey and Human Relations Area Files based at Yale University. Thus, chance is linked with responsibility, divination, nomadic habits, and economic uncertainty; physical skill is linked with the tropics and hunting; central-person games are linked with independence training and marriage; and strategy games are linked with class stratification and warfare.

• “Children Have Their Own World of Being”: An Ethnography of Children’s Activities on the Day of Saraswati Puja by Mitra, Semontee (2015) - Therefore, in the context of Saraswati Puja, participating children are primarily redefining the meaning of not only the religious event, but also the space through their activities.8 CFR_2015_R.indb 49 11/22/15 10:41 AM “Children have Their Own wOrld Of Being” SemOnTee miTra 50 As a guide to ethnographic observation, I gave attention to the play frame formed by different groups of children. In the twentieth century folklorists posited that in contrast to a view of children as passive vessels of static traditions, they actively adapted traditions and changed them and that is evident in my observations CFR_2015_R.indb 50 11/22/15 10:41 AM Semontee mitra “Children have their own world of Being” 51 as children performed various games without a clear distinction to their ethnic sources (Bronner 1988:12).

• Playing with the Sacred: LDS Children’s Games for Boredom and Entertainment by Rife, Jared S. (2013) - By playing these games they literally bringing the world (or in this case the World Wide Web) into their lives and their sacred spaces.26 The final point of this frame analysis is how church games treat the contexts of sacredness and reverence in an enactment of play. This is also manifest in the strong correlation of children that use their parents (or in some cases their own) electronic devices when playing puzzles and other games that the church provides on their website.

• Manipulating Play Frames: The Yo Momma Joke Cycle on YouTube by Stanzak, Steve (2012) - The Structure of Yo Momma Jokes In regard to form, Yo Momma jokes are distinct, stable, and easily identifiable. While the content of Yo Momma jokes is usually traditional, YouTube offers innovative new ways for participants not only to manipulate jokes’ performance contexts, but also to create new contexts entirely.

• Young Children’s Table Talk with Peers in Early Childhood Settings by Holmes, Robyn M. (2012) - As Wolf (1996) suggested, child to child conversations may provide the context for critical language lessons, since the inequality and power differentials in adult to child speech are not present in peer speech interactions. The sociolinguist William Corsaro (1986; 1990; 1997) has extensively studied how young children use language and discourse to communicate their social status and understand their position within their peer groups.

• Recess Battles: Playing, Fighting, and Storytelling By Anna R. Beresin by Bronner, Simon J. (2012) - simon J bronner A spate of books lately have signaled a dire warning about the threat to free play with the elimination of recess by school administrations and the regimentation of children at camps and after-school programs. Folklorists have much to contribute to this discourse in the “war on recess” because of the association of recess play with spontaneous, evolving traditional practices controlled by children rather than administrated by adults or influenced by corporations (in the form of video games and other gadgets directing play). Keywords: children; play; recess

• Boise Ikastola: Boise Basque Language Immersion Preschool by Thursby, Jacqueline (2010) - Older children become more and more bilingual as they pass through the educational system. Housed at St. Paul’s Catholic Church on the Boise State University Campus, it introduces young children to Basque and not only aids in their comprehension of the Basque language, but also helps with developing other language skills. Keywords: american; basque; boise; children; country; ikastola; language; play
• Naming Games and Beyond: Referencing in Children's Verbal Play by McDowell, John Holmes (2008) - With only a small stretch of the imagination, we can picture young children as mad- cap scientists, boldly trying out theories, testing hypotheses, and adjusting their notions as to what is going on as new data arrives. As younger children seek to enter the riddling arena, and as their slightly older peers seek to sustain a flagging session, riddles of transparent description make their appearance.

• Levitation Revisited by Tucker, Elizabeth (2008) - There is a difference between the outcome of Dead Man’s Rise and that of Green Man Rise-O: instead of rising from the dead, the deceased person becomes a frightening ghost that will relentlessly pursue other children. It seems necessary to make these games part of the lineage of levitation rituals and to identify some small but interesting parallels between these rituals and medieval mystery plays.

• Gopher Guts and Army Trucks: The Modern Evolution of Children's Folk Rhymes by Sherman, Josepha (1999) - While racist rhymes were very much a part of children's folk culture until the mid-1960s, we collected no racist rhymes from 19 Sherman anyone under the age of fifteen; this wasn't from a reluctance on the informants' part to repeat such rhymes but, in most cases, from a genuine lack of knowledge by the informants that older, racist versions existed of such now innocuous rhymes as Eenie meenie minie mo/Catch a tiger by the toe. This paper is an offshoot of fieldwork done from 1992 to 1994 in the United States and Canada during the preparation of a book, Greasy Grimey Gopher Guts: The Subversive Folklore of Children, co-written with T.K.F. Weisskopf and published by August House in 1995. Keywords: children; informants; new; play; rhymes; time; version; york

Children’s play across the whole spectrum of verbal and non-verbal genres exhibits this ordering facet, and one might speculate that without the informal, entertaining format provided by the ludic genres, children might acquire only with great difficulty the fundamental cognitive and interactional abilities required of adults in their society.

• Sidewalk Songs, Jump-Rope Rhymes, and Clap-Hand Games of African American Children by Saloy, Mona Lisa (2011) - This research into the songs, games, and rhymes of African American children suggests strongly that it is no accident African Americans have contributed to world music, to an original American literary landscape. The verbal prowess of African American children played on sidewalks in urban spaces is a direct link to the popular culture, music and story-telling nature of what become commercial raps.

• Let’s Get the Rhythm!: The Life and Times of Miss Mary Mack directed by Irene Chagall by Hutcheson, Cory Thomas (2017) - Chagall takes her camera around the world and through long stretches of human history to develop the film’s thesis that clapping games are serious business for the girls who play them and that such games are worthy of focused attention. Clapping games, demonstrates Chagall, can address problems like Jim Crow segregation or the high incidence of sickle cell anemia in Sierra Leone, where the girls play a clapping game called “Ah Mella Sickle Cella.” Keywords: chagall; film; games; girls
• “Go to Bed, Now You're Dead”: Suffocation Songs and Breath Control Games by Tucker, Elizabeth (2009) - During the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, more information about breath control games has become available.

• Pleasures and Perils: Girls’ Sexuality in a Caribbean Consumer Culture by Debra Curtis by Carpenter, Tracy (2010) - The notion of commodity erotics in Nevis — the conflation of sexual practices and commodity desire — renders a continuum that ranges from the exchange of sex to meet the family’s basic needs, to sex for personal consumption. Personal history interviews, focus groups and surveys assessed sexual practices, leisure activities, and consumerism. Keywords: culture; curtis; girls

• Riddle Use and Comprehension in Irish School-Aged Children: A Developmental Study by Staunton, Sara (2001) - The types of riddle answer given by the girls and boys are compared in Tables 10 and 11 below: TABLE 10: An overall comparison of the types of riddle answer given by boys and girls in the study (n=24). The use of such a 'change of state' might indicate an emerging awareness that riddle answers are generally obscured from the sight of the riddlee in some way and that the use of logic might be necessary in order to solve the riddle.

• In Our Own Image: The Child, Canadian Culture, and Our Future by Carpenter, Carole H. (2003) - Most discourses pertaining to Canadian children come from Education and the Social Sciences (particularly Sociology and Psychology), and consider them largely in the context of various institutions, social processes or roles. Otherwise, virtually all analyses of 49 IN OUR OWN IMAGE CARPENTER culture in relation to Canadian children deal primarily with its acquisition through socialization and its operation in families, schools, community organizations and the like.

• Redwood Grove: Youth Culture in a Group Home by Gelwicks, Jesse (2002) - Rather than a collection of photographs of toys and other items the boys' treasured, their photographs ranged from a dead rat to another boy's special friends (adults from the community who act as personal mentors), from pictures of other boys to pictures' of their toys, from the staff at 80 REDWOOD GROVE: YOUTH CULTURE IN A GROUP HOME Redwood Grove to Redwood Grove itself. Those pictures fall into three categories: those of themselves, those of other boys in the house, and those of adults such as staff and special friends.

In this Sephardic context, Jewish boys are circumcised at eight-days-old and have their hair cut at age five, an inverse mirroring of Muslim boys having their hair cut on the seventh day and their circumcision at the age seven.

• The Karma of Violence by Retief, Glen (2009) - When, after three months of John’s depredations, my parents managed to persuade the school authorities to transfer him to another passage—an action they took without telling me, for fear I would give away the secret and become more of a target—the abuses continued, albeit at a reduced intensity, and in fact they persisted throughout high school. The case management meetings called for every flunked test or irritable outburst by a student in Math class, where a thoughtful, sympathetic school counselor suggests anger management strategies or procrastination-beating mental tricks—these seem from a different universe than our mock hangings in school bathrooms, where once my friend Andre involuntarily stained the wood of an improvised gallows with his urine.

• Life for Me Ain't No Crystal Stair; Readin', Writin', and Parental (Il)literacy in African American Children's Books by Lester, Neal A. (2003) - (4) After slavery ended, literacy continued to be a weapon of white supremacy used against black social and political participation: Literacy or other tests as a condition for voting were suspended by the Voting Rights Act in 1965 initially only in those states in which Congress found there had been pervasive discrimination against blacks in registration and in which literacy tests had been specifically designed to disfranchise racial minorities. As Violet J. Harris explains in African-American Conceptions of Literacy: A Historical Perspective, African Americans hold many of the same views [on the sacredness of education as white American citizens]; they, too, maintain an unstinting belief in the power of literacy to effect essential political, cultural, social, and economic change.

• The War on Youth: A Modern Oedipal Tragedy by Conrad, Joann (2002) - Former California Governor, Pete Wilson, who sponsored Prop 21, spoke to voters' visceral fears of kids gone bad, and framed the initiative in clearly generational (and false) terms, saying: While adult crime has been falling dramatically, the same cannot be said for youth violence and gang violence (Ellis B4). This public belief in the growing problem of violent youth, which is dis- proportionate to current statistical information,2 and which is, furthermore, in contrast to most adults' actual experiences, should be seen as what Lawrence Grossberg calls an affective epidemic; a fetishized site, disconnected and disproportionate to its actual worth, ideological in intent, and fed by the daily economy of saturated panics (Acland 284). Keywords: adult; children; crime; juvenile; oedipus; school; time; violence; youth
• Everybody is Their Enemy: Goths, Spooky Kids, and the American School Shooting Panic by Berres, Allen (2002) - A wave of anti-goth, anti-Marilyn Manson sentiment immediately followed this over-hasty association, motivated by the overwhelming fear that any member of these black-clad legions could turn out to be the next school shooter. Although the Trench Coat Mafia clique was confined to Columbine High School, journalists quickly pointed out many supposed links between this clique and two larger music fan cultures whose members occasionally wear black trench coats that are found in almost every American high school: goths and Marilyn Manson fans.

(2004) - In Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, Jack Zipes notes in his chapter, Hans Christian Andersen and the Discourse of the Dominated: (The Ugly Ducking) has generally been interpreted as a parable of Andersen's own success story because the naturally gifted underdog survives a period of ugliness to reveal its innate beauty. ) It was when a huge dog, its eyes gleaming horribly, came upon the Ugly Duckling, pushing his dog's nose right into the duckling's face, then departing, that the Ugly Duckling decided to leave the swamp.

• Disastrous Alternatives: Boy Scout Disaster Stories and Legends and Imagining the Natural World by Green, Spencer Lincoln (2011) - Similar to how Scout legends can imbue an area with potential danger, many news accounts wrote of the potential dangers of the real storm, the “potentially affected population” and “potential damage” (Ranii 2011). Combine that with the West’s reliance on the peskily absent element, and water becomes a dangerous element in need of such legends to explain, warn, and instruct us to be wary.

• The Shoebox Museum: The Aesthetics and Organizational Concepts of Children by Willsey, Kristiana (2008) - Ben’s museum (fig. 4) offers a neat entry point into these intellectual adult projects; his “treasure chest” is both an implicit challenge to the aims of traditional museums and an affirmation of them. Ben’s museum is unquestionably personal/trivial; his treasures have only individual and idiosyncratic meaning, nothing (apparently) worthy of glass cases Figure 3.

• The Lost Manhood of the American Girl: A Dilemma in Early Twentieth-Century Girl Scouting by Tedesco, Laureen (2005) - Recurring themes in the handbook clarify the focus of Girl Scout preparedness: Girl Scout training can prevent accidents or rescue people involved in them; Girl Scout activities such as camping and hiking ensure girls' physical health; and members of the organization learn efficient methods of housecleaning and childcare. In the late teens and early 1920s, when the Girl Scouts Incorporated were sending field workers across the nation to train troop leaders and establish the growing organization's reputation, girls and Boy Scouts of America Scoutmasters tackled the problem of Girl Scout training in their own way: the Scoutmasters, independently or at the request of local girls, taught the girls the basics of Boy Scout training and then wrote to national Girl Scout headquarters for help.

• A Fear of Adolescent Cruising: Adult Reactions to a Tradition That Won't Go Away by McCormick, Charlie (2002) - A FEAR OF ADOLESCENT CRUISING: ADULT REACTIONS TO A TRADITION THAT WON'T GO AWAY CHARLIE MCCORMICK Growing up in Snyder, Texas, my friends and I spent our Friday and Satur- day nights cruising—what we referred to as making the drag. I have been surprised, however, to find that in an increasing majority of locales around the nation, this folk performance has come to be regarded by many adults as the scourge of their community.1 I explain these differing adult perceptions of adolescent cruising by arguing that as adolescent cruising-one of the traditional and informal performances of white middleclass adolescents due to its socialization and enculturation potential (McCormick)-became appropriated by those outside the target audience (i.e. ethnic minorities and those presumed to be in the lower class) its legitimacy was attacked.
