"Good Guys Don't Wear Hats": Children's Talk about the Media by Joseph J. Tobin
Exploring how children make sense of media representations of race, sex, violence and class, this text demonstrates how the meanings they impose depend on the local contexts in which they live. It suggests that they are capable of resistant interpretations of the movies and television they watch.Joseph Tobin offers a fresh perspective on how children make sense of media representations of race, sex, violence, and class. By weaving such cutting-edge approaches as poststructuralism, performance theory, and critical theory into his analysis, he demonstrates how the meanings children give to media messages depend on the local contexts in which they live. Tobin challenges the convention that children are easily fooled by the media and suggests instead that they are capable of resistant interpretations of the movies and television they watch. |
