Screening Generation X: The Politics and Popular Memory of Youth in
Contemporary Cinema examines popular representations of Generation
X in American and British film. In arguing that the various
constructions of youth are marked by major cultural shifts and
societal inequalities, it analyzes the iconic 'Gen X' figures
ranging from the slacker, the teenage time traveller, and third
wave feminists, to the oeuvre of Molly Ringwald and Richard
Linklater. This book explores the important cultural work performed
by films that mediate the experiences of Generation X and critiques
the ongoing marginalization of the youth who struggle to find their
identity and a voice in increasingly unstable times. Specific
analyses of such films as Pump Up the Volume, The Breakfast Club,
Heathers, Donnie Darko and Waking Life are used to illustrate the
research.
