Rethinking Popular Culture and Media Second Edition
By Linda Christensen, Rachel Cloues, Grace Cornell Gonzales, Sudie Hofman, Herbert Kohl, Elizabeth Marshall, Ann Pelo, Margot Pepper, Bob Peterson, Özlem Sensoy and Renee Watson
Rethinking Popular Culture and Media begins from the premise that the "popular" is political. Whether it's Disney and Barbie, or Snapchat and Vine, youth navigate, shape, and repurpose popular culture. This updated collection of teaching articles and critical commentary is written by and for educators. The authors consider the role in students' lives of films, music, and books, as well as popular culture artifacts like toys, and how these materials "teach" children. In each article, authors critique and rethink the connections among race, class, gender, sexuality, power, and schooling. The second edition includes revised articles, nine new articles, and an updated list of resources. Chapters are organized into four major themes to make the text more streamlined: Part 1: Commercialism, Corporations, and Youth Part 2: Politics, Violence, and Sanitized History Part 3: Texts, Toys, and Representation Part 4: Teaching, Talking Back, and Taking Action
