Youth Fantasies: The Perverse Landscape of the Media (Paperback, 2004 ed.)

Youth Fantasies is a collection of studies conducted in cross-cultural collaboration over the past ten years that theorizes “youth fantasy” as manifested through the media of TV, film, and computer games. The collection includes case studies of “X-Files” fans, the influence of computer games and the “Lara Croft” phenomenon, and the reception of western television by Tanzanian youth. This book is a much needed reconciliation between cultural studies and Lacanian psychoanalysis, and highlights why Lacan is important to note when exploring youth fantasy and interest in the media, especially in shows like “X-Files”.
