This in-depth study of one of the twenty-first century's most
acclaimed films, The Social Network: Youth Film 2.0 considers the
contribution of David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's film to the
understanding of 'youth' in a contemporary, digital age. The book
starts by situating The Social Network within the contexts of
'youth film', arguing that it challenges and reshapes the
boundaries of this genre by rethinking the notion of 'youth' itself
in the present century. It goes on to consider in detail the
aesthetics at work in the film, arguing for its critical and
reflexive use of an 'accelerated' audio-visual style, in order to
capture both the new visual regimes of the personal computer era,
and the ethical and intellectual ambiguities of Facebook itself as
a creation. Finally, it locates the film within the broader visual
styles and fashion codes of a late twentieth- and early
twenty-first-century consumer culture that incorporates and
commodifies rebellion and dissent: qualities that underpinned
Facebook's emerging, paradoxical identity as at once the epitome of
'hacker' culture and also a multi-billion-dollar global company.
Reframing the meaning of youth cinema, this volume in the Cinema
and Youth Culture series is ideal for students, researchers and
scholars of cinema studies, youth culture and digital cultures.
