Could one consequence of aetonormativity be that most picture books are written by adults, despite their target audience being children?
On analogy with the central concept of queer theory, heteronormativity, I propose the concept of aetonormativity (Lat. aeto-, pertaining to age), adult normativity that governs the way children's literature has been patterned from its emergence until the present day.
And, relatedly, exploring aetonormativity in children's literature as the normativisation of only some carefully identified adult "powers" could lead to a more complex model of the normalising/othering binary developed in the literature.
Use aetonormativity when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
