Unit 3 Assignment 2: Research Bibliography

Bosmajian, Hamida. “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Other Excremental Visions.” The

Lion and the Unicorn. 9. John Hopkins UP. (1985): 36-49. Project MUSE. Web. 06 May

2013.

Bosmajian provides eloquent phrasing that explains the element of ingestion in food

narratives and its symbolic value. This explanation then helps me to assert that Wonka

indeed controls all his child-figures through their bodily desires for chocolate.

Cullingford, Elizabeth. “’Something Else’: Gendering Onliness in Elizabeth Bowen’s Early

Fiction.” MFS Modern Fiction Studies. 53.2. John Hopkins UP. (2007): 276-305. Project

MUSE. Web. 15 May 2013.

Cullingford’s article provides the historical foreground that influenced Bowen’s writing.

Her work also provides an explanation that deepens my argument that in The House in

Paris, Leopold is very important, both as a form of property and as an heir.

Honeyman, Susan. “Gingerbread Wishes and Candy(land) Dreams: The Lure of Food in

Cautionary Tales of Consumption.” Marvels and Tales. 21.2. Wayne State UP.

(2007):195-215. Project MUSE. Web. 14 May 2013.

This article helps to support my argument about why Charlie is the chosen child to inherit

the factory. This article explains the use of food as a tool for controlling children and

determine their self-control which supports my argument that it is through this method

that Wonka determines Charlie is perfectly suited to be his heir.

---------- “Trick or Treat? Halloween Lore, Passive Consumerism and the Candy Industry.” The

Lion and the Unicorn. 32.1. John Hopkins UP. (2008):82-108. Project MUSE. Web. 15

May 2013.

This is Honeyman’s other article on candy consumption that provides another

explanation as to why Charlie is chosen as heir to Wonka’s fortune which has nothing to

do with altruistic intentions. This supports my claim that this exchange is solely done for

economic gain. This article also provides a good summary of the main ideas found in all

the novels.

Irigaray, Luce. “Women on the Market.” The Sex Which is Not One. Ithaca, New York: Cornell

UP, 1985. Print.

This is a keystone theory that I use to base my argument of the power structure. Though I

change the participants of the paradigm suggested by Irigaray, I retain her idea of

exchange value being a social activity.

This article provides support for my idea that Freud does acknowledge sexual desire in

women. The analysis in this article also adds to the base of my analysis of female

sexuality in other texts that I later examine.

Ventura, Abbie. “Predicting a Better Situation? Three Young Adult Speculative Fiction Texts

and the Possibilities for Social Change.” Children’s Literature Association Quarterly.

36.1. John Hopkins UP. (2011): 89-103. Project MUSE. Web. 15 May 2013.

This article provides a different look at children and their position in a capitalistic

environment. Though this article does not directly reference the texts I examine, it

provides a different perspective on the role of the child and provides a summary of

Walter Benjamin’s theory on child commodification.

Yolen, Jane. “Magic Mirrors: Society Reflected in the Glass of Fantasy.” Children’s Literature

Association Quarterly. 11.2. John Hopkins UP. (1986): 88-90. Project MUSE. Web. 14

May 2013.

Yolen’s article provides the background on the previous version of Dahl’s text which did

have a reference to African pygmies. This work then helps me to prove that race is still a

present factor and contributes to the justification of the commodification of the Oompa-

Loompas.
