This book is one of the first to apply the theoretical tools
proposed by French philosopher Bruno Latour to film studies.
Through the example of the Hollywood Teen Film and with a
particular focus on Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the book delineates
how Teen Film has established itself as one of Hollywood's most
consistent and dynamic genres. While many productions may recycle
formulaic patterns, there is also a proliferation of cinematic
coming-of-age narratives that are aesthetically and politically
progressive, experimental, and complex. The case studies develop a
Latourian film semiotics as a flexible analytical approach which
raises new questions, not only about the history, types and tropes
of teen films, but also about their aesthetics, mediality, and
composition. Through an exploration of a wide and diverse range of
examples from the past decade, including films by female and
African-American directors, urban and rural perspectives, and
non-heteronormative sexualities, Actor-Network Theory at the Movies
demonstrates how the classic Teen Film canon has been regurgitated,
expanded, and renewed.
