This volume explores film and television for children and youth.
While children's film and television vary in form and content from
country to country, their youth audience, ranging from infants to
"screenagers", is the defining feature of the genre and is written
into the DNA of the medium itself. This collection offers a
contemporary analysis of film and television designed for this
important audience, with particular attention to new directions
evident in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
With examples drawn from Iran, China, Korea, India, Israel, Eastern
Europe, the Philippines, and France, as well as from the United
States and the United Kingdom, contributors address a variety of
issues ranging from content to production, distribution, marketing,
and the use of film, both as object and medium, in education.
Through a diverse consideration of media for young infants up to
young adults, this volume reveals the newest trends in children's
film and television and its role as both a source of entertainment
and pedagogy.

In Women and Rhetoric between the Wars, editors Ann George, M.
Elizabeth Weiser, and Janet Zepernick have gathered together
insightful essays from major scholars on women whose practices and
theories helped shape the field of modern rhetoric. Examining the
period between World War I and World War II, this volume sheds
light on the forgotten rhetorical work done by the women of that
time. It also goes beyond recovery to develop new methodologies for
future research in the field. Collected within are analyses of
familiar figures such as Jane Addams, Amelia Earhart, Helen Keller,
and Bessie Smith, as well as explorations of less well known, yet
nevertheless influential, women such as Zitkala-Sa, Jovita
Gonzalez, and Florence Sabin. Contributors evaluate the forces in
the civic, entertainment, and academic scenes that influenced the
rhetorical praxis of these women. Each essay presents examples of
women's rhetoric that move us away from the "waves" model toward a
more accurate understanding of women's multiple, diverse rhetorical
interventions in public discourse. The collection thus creates a
new understanding of historiography, the rise of modern rhetorical
theory, and the role of women professionals after suffrage. From
celebrities to scientists, suffragettes to academics, the dynamic
women of this volume speak eloquently to the field of rhetoric
studies today.
