Abstract |
|
Representations of young teenagers and
adolescents (not yet young adults) in popular culture are
problematic. All too often the term teenager is less about
age and experience and more about consumer merchandise and
lifestyles aimed at them as a demographic sector. This paper
addresses some of the issues and myths that writers and film
makers are confronted with when producing teenage culture –
everything may not be as you think.
Keywords: Twilight,
Harry Potter, teen-culture, teen-films, teenagers,
young adults |
