The first monograph to examine Walter Salles' The Motorcycle Diaries, this book explains the significance of Salles' film with respect to the specific category of 'youth culture' as a historically and culturally situated concept. The Motorcycle Diaries looks at the film's engagement with 'emerging adulthood', the importance of travel as a source of self-discovery, and the film's impact on the iconicity of Che Guevara, the international emblem of a restless, rebellious youth. Combining insights from transnational film studies, tourism studies, and affect theory, as well as drawing on extensive historical materials, this book provides not only a necessary addition to existing scholarship on this popular movie, but also an inspiring model for the analysis of film in relation to youth culture - a burgeoning field of interest in Latin American scholarship. It will interest any scholar in film studies, specifically transnational cinemas, global cinema, Latin American cinema, Latin American history, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, tourism studies and global politics.

"John Carpenter's 1978 horror hit Halloween was once considered the be-all, end-all of teen slasher cinema and was regarded as the first, the best, and the most influential American slasher film. Recent revisions in film history, however, have challenged Halloween's comfortable place in the canon of youth horror cinema. This study argues that Halloween need not be the first nor the most influential youth slasher film for it to hold a special place in the history of youth cinema. In a manner like no other film, Halloween draws from the themes, imagery, and obsessions that fuelled youth horror cinema since the 1950s - Gothic atmosphere, atomic dread, twisted psychology, and alienated teenage monsters - and ties them together in the deceptively simple story of a masked killer stalking babysitters on Halloween night. Along the way, the film delivers a savage critique of social institutions and their failure to protect young people. Halloween also depicts a cadre of compelling and complicated youth characters: teenage babysitters watching over preadolescents as a killer, who is viciously avoiding the responsibilities of young adulthood, stalks them through the shadows. This book explores all these aspects of Halloween, including the franchise it spawned"--

"Right from the origins of cinema, countless films and television dramas have offered sensational and seductive representations of young people's lives. Youth is typically associated with energy, idealism and physical beauty, but it is often represented as both troubled and troubling. These representations are almost always created by adults, implicitly reflecting an adult perspective on how young people 'come of age'.Youth on Screen provides a historical account of representations of youth in Britain and the United States, stretching back over seventy years. From Blackboard Jungle to This is England, and from Jailhouse Rock to Skins, it covers a range of classics, as well as some intriguing obscurities. Engagingly written and clearly organized, it offers a perfect introduction for students and general readers."--

Explores how the topic of 'youth' has inspired Francophone filmmakers to explore and reinvent common tropes associated with young peopleYouth has been represented on screen for decades and has informed many directors’ visual, narrative and social perspectives, but there has not been a body of work addressing the richness and complexity of this topic in a French and Francophone context. This volume offers new insights into the works of emerging and well-established directors alike, who all chose to place youth at the heart of their narrative and aesthetic concerns. Showing how the topic of ‘youth’ has inspired filmmakers to explore and reinvent common tropes associated with young people, the book also addresses how the representation of youth can be used to mirror the tensions – political, social, religious, economic or cultural – that agitate a society at a given time in its history.Key featuresDeals with contemporary issues such as LGBTQ identities, terrorism or social tensions and inequities in French and Francophone societiesPresents significant filmmakers whose work has rarely been discussed in an academic settingIntroduces the works of emerging directors and/or prominent directors from Francophone countriesGathers academics from different fields, offering a multi-faceted approach to the topic of youth in filmContributorsKarine Chevalier, University of Roehampton, LondonJuliette Feyel, University of Paris-NanterreFiona Handyside, University of ExeterMaria Flood, Keele UniversityAubrey Korneta, Sarah Lawrence College Kathryn Chaffee, University of California, Los AngelesBen McCann, University of AdelaideEricka Knudson, Harvard UniversityGemma Edney, University of ExeterElizabeth Geary Keohane, University of GlasgowJocelyn Wright, University of Texas - AustinWalter S.
