Playing with Power in Movies, Television, and Video Games: From Muppet Babies to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Paperback
by Marsha Kinder (Author)
How do children today learn to understand stories? Why do they respond so enthusiastically to home video games and to a myth like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? And how are such fads related to multinational media mergers and the "new world order"? In assessing these questions, Marsha Kinder provides a brilliant new perspective on modern media.
A very productive, thought-provoking analysis of new transformations in today's narrative media and their interpretations of the child-spectator.--Dana Polan, Editor, Cinema Journal
