Adventures in Childhood connects modern intellectual property law and practice with a history of consumption. Structured in a loosely chronological order, the book begins with the creation of a children's literature market, a Christmas market, and moves through character merchandising, syndicated newspaper strips, film, television, and cross-industry relations, finishing in the 1970s, by which time professional identities and legal practices had stabilized. By focusing on the rise of child-targeted commercial activities, the book is able to reflect on how and why intellectual property rights became a defining feature of 20th century culture. Chapters trace the commercial empires that grew around Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit, Meccano, Felix the Cat, Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan, Eagle Magazine, Davy Crockett, Mr Men, Dr Who, The Magic Roundabout and The Wombles to show how modern intellectual property merchandising was plagued with legal and moral questions that exposed the tension between exploitation and innocence.

Les parents et l'école n'ont plus aujourd'hui le monopole de l'éducation. L'influence des discours extérieurs - celle des pairs comme celle des médias - sur les préadolescents est favorisée par les modèles dominants d'autorité parentale qui valorisent le développement personnel et l'autonomie des jeunes. Or les médias, de par leur double nature culturelle et industrielle, véhiculent des contenus (violence, crudité, téléréalité) qui justifient la vigilance des adultes. À partir d'une enquête auprès de plus de 1000 préadolescents et de leurs parents qui croise le point de vue des uns et des autres, l'auteur donne des clés pour mieux comprendre les stratégies parentales d'éducation avec les médias mais aussi les stratégies des préadolescents eux-mêmes, qui varient selon leur genre et leur environnement social. À travers une analyse objective des relations enfants-parents-médias, elle montre que le rôle des parents et des éducateurs reste décisif, particulièrement à l'âge charnière de la préadolescence. La transmission verticale continue donc à assurer une forme essentielle de protection et d'éducation. La question des médias ne peut cependant être cantonnée à la sphère de l'intimité ou même de la vie privée familiale au prétexte que chaque individu (enfant ou parent) peut gérer en toute autonomie et liberté son rapport expressif aux médias. Elle relève d'un débat citoyen qui engage la communauté des adultes pour assurer une corégulation des médias compatible avec l'enjeu anthropologique que représente l'éducation des plus jeunes.

Dark novels, shows, and films targeted toward children and young adults are proliferating wildly. It is even more crucial now to understand the methods by which such texts have traditionally operated and how those methods have been challenged, abandoned, and appropriated. Reading in the Dark fills a gap in criticism devoted to children's popular culture by concentrating on horror, an often-neglected genre. These scholars explore the intersection between horror, popular culture, and children's cultural productions, including picture books, fairy tales, young adult literature, television, and monster movies.Reading in the Dark looks at horror texts for children with deserved respect, weighing the multitude of benefits they can provide for young readers and viewers. Refusing to write off the horror genre as campy, trite, or deforming, these essays instead recognize many of the texts and films categorized as "scary" as among those most widely consumed by children and young adults. In addition, scholars consider how adult horror has been domesticated by children's literature and culture, with authors and screenwriters turning that which was once horrifying into safe, funny, and delightful books and films. Scholars likewise examine the impetus behind such re-envisioning of the adult horror novel or film as something appropriate for the young. The collection investigates both the constructive and the troublesome aspects of scary books, movies, and television shows targeted toward children and young adults. It considers the complex mechanisms by which these texts communicate overt messages and hidden agendas, and it treats as well the readers' experiences of such mechanisms.
