Beskrivning
What makes a film a teen film? And why, when it represents such powerfuland enduring ideas about youth and adolescence, is teen film usually viewed as culturally insignificant?Teen film is usually discussed as a representation of the changing American teenager, highlighting the institutions of high school and the nuclear family, andexperiments in sexual development and identity formation. But not everyfilm featuring these components is a teen film and not every teen film is American. Arguing that teen film is always a story about becoming a citizen and a subject, Teen Filmpresents a new history of the genre, surveys the existing body of scholarship, and introduces key critical tools for discussing teen film.Surveying a wide range of films including The Wild One, Heathers, Akira and Donnie Darko,the book's central focus is on what kind of adolescence teen film represents, and on teen film's capacity to produce new and influential images of adolescence.

Recensioner i media
Teen Film: A Critical Introduction breaks new and vital ground. Moving away from the America-centric bias of previous studies, it shows that the protean, complex, ever-changing image of youth on screen belongs to everyone, everywhere, no matter their age, gender, race or culture. A major achievement in film studies.
