Why are the media such a crucial part of children's daily lives? Are they becoming more important, more influential, and in what ways? Or does a historical perspective reveal how past media have long framed children's cultural horizons or, perhaps, how families - however constituted - have long shaped the ways children relate to media? Each chapter provides a clear orientation for new readers to the main debates and core issues addressed, combined with a depth of analysis and argumentation to stimulate the thinking of advanced students and established scholars. Since children and young people are a focus of study across different disciplines, the volume is thoroughly multi-disciplinary. Yet since children and young people are all too easily neglected by these same disciplines, this volume hopes to accord their interests and concerns they surely merit; Índice: CONTINUITIES AND CHANGE Culture-Nature and the Construction of Childhood - Alan Prout The Child in the Picture - Patricia Holland Managing Monsters - Dan Fleming Videogames and the 'Mediatization' of the Toy Harlequin Meets the SIMS - Jacqueline Reid-Walsh A History of Interactive Narrative Media for Children and Youth From Early Flap Books to Contemporary Multi Media PROBLEMATICS Making Waves - Chas Critcher Panic Discourses about the Media and Children or Young People, Past and Present Children and Media in the Context of the Home and Family - Stewart Hoover and Lynn Schofield Clark Reality and Fantasy i...
