Klappentext

This book examines how the fairy tale is currently being redeployed and revised on the contemporary teen screen. The author redeploys Victor Turner s work on liminality for a feminist agenda, providing a new and productive method for thinking about girlhood onscreen. While many studies of teenagehood and teen film briefly invoke Turner s concept, it remains an underdeveloped framework for thinking about youth onscreen. The book s broad scope across teen mediäincluding film, television, and online mediäcontributes to the need for contemporary analysis and theorisation of our multimedia cultural climate.
