Lolita-like or eroticized representations of girls in popular culture have been and continue to be transformational in our societal understandings of female sexuality. Complex issues related to the desirability of innocence, passivity, and submissiveness in media representations of girls are examined. In this essay, I explore the intertextuality of Vladimir Nabokov’s 1958 novel Lolita , Lolita-like images in mainstream media, art photography of nude minors, and the visual rhetoric of the eroticized innocent. I question how girls are affected by being visually possessed, desired, and discussed. Specifically, do they have any power over their own images? Author-created collages offer critical counternarratives.
