Through the innovative methodology of asking them to record their
experiences on videotape, this book offers an evocative and
fascinating cross-cultural exploration into the everyday lives of a
number of teenage girls from their own broad social, cultural and
ethnic perspectives. The use of the video camera by the girls
themselves reveals their exploration and experimentation with
possible identities, highlighting their awareness that the self is
not ready made but rather constituted in the process of continuous
performance. The result is an active self-conscious exploration of
the continuous "art" of self-making. Through their play, the
teenagers are shown to strategically test out various
possibilities, while keeping such explorations within the bounds of
what is acceptable and permissible in their own micro-cultural
worlds. The resulting material challenges previous findings in
those feminist and youth anthropological studies based on too
narrow a concept of class, ethnicity or populist approaches to
culture.
