TaylorWhile there were bits that I found interesting in this book, I found the style at times academic and awkward. In addition, the interpretations of children's books were rooted in Freudian ideology, so that for example, the taste of the fruits in Aslan's country is not discussed either in terms of the actual food description itself nor in terms of Lewis's Christian world view, but rather as "a hedonistic scenario redolent of the primal relationship," and, "that in psychoanalytic terms they have 'reached the True Breast'" (92). In addition, at least some quotes were taken out of context to support the author's perspective. For example, the author cites Katz in support of the food being a "substitute for sex" (81), but the author's context focuses on fetishes and "fictional food as a focus of childhood sexual desire" (81), but in Katz the context is that sometimes food functions for children as sex does for adults, not that there is something inherently sexual about food. Katz really didn't support the point but was used as an extra quote to bolster the author's shaky footing. The result was that, amidst some valid points, there was much that was read into the texts rather than drawn out, and much that was important that went unmentioned. The slim pickings at this table suggest that, if food in children's lit is your taste, you'd rather dine elsewhere.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Not fully digested...By Kristiana WCarolyn Daniel's Voracious Children: Who Eats Whom in Children's Literature examines how representations of food and appetite enculturate children, not only as literal consumers, but more significantly as partakers of society. She argues that in learning what to eat, how much of it, and in what manner, young readers learn what it means to be, alternately, a human, a well-behaved child, a boy, a girl, a citizen, an economic subject, and eventually a properly socialized adult.Daniel's writing is lucid and accessible; her authorial voice is engaging, albeit frequently hesitant. There is much to like about this book, not least the tour of beloved children's classics. Scholars of children's literature, who tend to start out as bookish kids, will enjoy becoming reacquainted with old favorites like A.A. Milne, Enid Blyton, and Roald Dahl, as well as more recent additions from Philip Pullman and J.K. Rowling. (This is assuming that learning of seduction in C.S. Lewis or cannibalism in Lewis Caroll does not rub the bloom off their nostalgia.)It is in the analysis of children's literature itself that Daniel is on her surest footing. She breaks down scenes from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe or Charlotte's Web persuasively and confidently. However, it never becomes clear whether she is bringing discourses on food and body to bear on children's literature, or using her literary analyses to reinforce other people's theories. Most significantly, while she often establishes that the content of children's books fits neatly into adult discourses on hunger, body, and the psychological and cultural implications thereof, she never proves what the children's books can bring to the table. She uses her primary texts as good examples of developed theories, but there's little within her chosen texts that seems to complicate or question those theories.Well-read academics will likely find the explanations of Freud's theories about oral fixations, or Bakhtin's notions of the carnivalesque, repetitive and unnecessary. For the lay reader, though, Daniel does synthesize such foundational ideas clearly and concisely. The issue is whether that synthesis leaves room for much original work. Daniel devotes so much effort to establishing herself within authoritative discourses that she ends up adding very little to the conversation.To use Daniel's own metaphor, that "writing is also about the consumption of material, ideas and words from outside, digesting and reconstructing them," (213) her book is not fully digested. Her use of outside scholarship never feels entirely comfortable. The introduction is a brisk round-up of all the usual suspects of the social sciences-- Foucault, Lacan, Bakhtin, Butler--but Daniel relies on their best known works and most famous quotes.There is a suggestion through the book that--whatever Daniel's intended thesis is--her real goal is to validate children's literature as a source of rich and too-often overlooked information about culture, psychology, and prevailing attitudes towards gender and body. I agree with this wholeheartedly, but considering the likely audience of the book, such assurances seem unnecessary. All told, Voracious Children is a well-written, engaging, and eminently readable book--but it left me hungry for the more confident and mature critical work the author is clearly capable of.See all 2 customer reviews...
