The relationship was considered in relation to Freudian narratives of adolescent psychology; feminist theories of the mother daughter relationship; and feminist revisions of female adolescence and the daughter mother relationship in adolescence by Carol Gilligan and the Harvard Project on Women's Psychology and Girls' Development. Within this framework, the study examines how the daughter mother relationship is constituted, intertextually, through a number of discursive formations; and how the representation of the relationship is shaped by conventional narrative practices used to tell story in the young adult novel. Taken into account are the different racial, socio-historical, and cultural formations through which the relationship is produced. |
