Unplugging Popular Culture showcases youth and young adult
characters from film and television who defy the stereotype of the
"digital native" who acts as an unquestioning devotee to screened
technologies like the smartphone. In this study, unplugged tools,
or non-digital tools, do not necessitate a ban on technology or a
refusal to acknowledge its affordances but work instead to
highlight the ability of fictional characters to move from high
tech settings to low tech ones. By repurposing everyday materials,
characters model the process of reusing and upcycling existing
materials in innovative ways. In studying examples such as Pitch
Perfect, Supernatural, Stranger Things, and Get Out, the book aims
to make theories surrounding materiality apparent within popular
culture and to help today’s readers reconsider stereotypes of the
young people they encounter on a daily basis.
