Dennis (sociology, Wright State U., Ohio) takes a gender and sexuality studies eye to the characterization of male adolescence in American pop culture before and during WWII. He discusses how four common archetypes found in pulp fiction, boys' serial novels, comics movies, and musicals--boys next door, adventure boys, jungle boy, and lost boys--were marked by hatred or indifference to women and varying degrees of same-sex companionship and love. He observes the arc from Tarzan to Andy Hardy, the Dead End Kids, and other characters, finally hinting at the transformation of the adolescent male in pop culture to the now-familiar girl crazy teenager.
