This book analyses the teen film as the rare medium able to
represent the otherwise chaotic and conflicting experience of
youth. The author focuses on six major issues: alienation, deviance
and delinquency, sex and gender, the politics of consumption, the
apolitics of youth(ful) rebellion, and regression into nostalgia.
Despite the many differences within the genre, this book sees all
teen films as focused on a single social concern: the breakdown of
traditional forms of authority - school, church, family. Working
with the theories of such diverse scholars as Kenneth Keniston,
Bruno Bettelheim, Erik Erikson, Theodor Adorno, Simon Frith, and
Dick Hebdige, the author draws an innovative and flexible model of
a cultural history of youth. Originally published in 1992.
