Popular Appeal
Books and Films in Contemporary Youth Culture
Lesley Hawkes , Sharyn Pearce , Vivienne Muller
The key questions are:
• What are the shifts and changes in youth culture that are identified by the market and by what young people read and view?
• How do these texts negotiate the addressing of significant questions relating to the world today?
• Why are these texts so popular with young people?
• What are the most popular genres in contemporary best-sellers and films?
• Do these texts have a global appeal, and, if so, why?
These over-arching themes and ideas are presented as a collection of inter-related essays exploring a rich variety of forms and styles from graphic novels to urban realism, from fantasy to dystopian writing, from epic narratives to television musicals. The subjects and themes discussed here reveal the quite remarkable diversity of issues that arise in youth fiction and the variety of fictional forms in which they are explored. Once seen as not as important as adult fiction, this book clearly demonstrates that youth fiction (and the popular appeal of this fiction) is complex, durable and far-reaching in its scope.
