Girls Make Media by Mary Celeste Kearney Routledge, May 2006 More girls are producing media today than at any other point in history, and they are using virtually every format currently available to do so. Tracing the sites in the United States where girls' media production is currently encouraged and supported, Girls Make Media examines the creative expression and identity exploration of female youth through the films, zines, and websites they produce. Combining analyses of girl-made media and the communities and social contexts that inspire their creation and facilitate their diffusion, Girls Make Media furthers our understanding of not only contemporary girlhood and girls' culture, but also American popular culture. Mary Celeste Kearney is Assistant Professor of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin. She is also Director of Cinemakids, a program for inspiring young filmmakers. ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message. Problems?
