"Media and the Make-Believe Worlds of Children" offers new insights
into children's descriptions of their invented or "make-believe"
worlds, and the role that the children's experience with media
plays in creating these worlds. Based on the results of a
cross-cultural study conducted in the United States, Germany,
Israel, and South Korea, it offers an innovative look at media's
role on children's creative lives.
This distinctive volume:
*outlines the central debates and research findings in the area of
children, fantasy worlds, and the media;
*provides a descriptive account of children's make-believe worlds
and their wishes for actions they would like to take in these
worlds;
*highlights the centrality of media in children's make believe
worlds;
*emphasizes the multiple creative ways in which children use media
as resources in their environment to express their own inner
worlds; and
*suggests the various ways in which the tension between traditional
genderportrayals that continue to dominate media texts and
children's wishes to act are presented in their fantasies.
The work also demonstrates the value of research in unveiling the
complicated ways in which media are woven into the fabric of
children's everyday lives, examining the creative and sophisticated
uses they make of their contents, and highlighting the
responsibility that producers of media texts for children have in
offering young viewers a wide array of role models and narratives
to use in their fantasies. An enclosed CD provides full-color
images of the artwork produced during the study.
This book will appeal to scholars and graduate students in children
and media, early childhood education, anddevelopmental psychology.
It can be used in graduate level courses in these areas.
