The mall is so old school--these days kids are hanging out on
YouTube, and depending on whom you ask, they're either forging the
digital frontier or frittering away their childhoods in
anti-intellectual solipsism. Kids on YouTube cuts through the hype,
going behind the scenes to understand kids' everyday engagement
with new media. Debunking the stereotype of the self-taught
computer whiz, new media scholar and filmmaker Patricia G. Lange
describes the collaborative social networks kids use to negotiate
identity and develop digital literacy on the 'Tube. Her long-term
ethnographic studies also cover peer-based and family-driven
video-making dynamics, girl geeks, civic engagement, and
representational ethics. This book makes key contributions to new
media studies, communication, science and technology studies,
digital anthropology, and informal education.
