| description | Two publishing phenomena established the concept of "young adult" literature at the beginning of this millennium: Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Their content, mixing magic and everyday life, as well as their form, in particular transmedia, are similar, and yet... their fate is wholly different. While the first series succeeded in transforming the popular experience into a critical success, the second one remains widely despised. Why is this? Where does the irritation regarding this saga come from? This essay puts forth several hypotheses: aesthetic (the author can't write), genre-specific (she betrays the vampire figure), and ideological (a problematic vision of women), yet each actually reveals complex mechanisms of recognition, and questions the relationship of society to genre novels, to its readers, and above all, to its female readers. |
