| Summary: | There is a long history of radical children’s film and television which subverts political orthodoxies and challenges aesthetic conventions, often beneath a cloak of innocence. However, these rich traditions of radical screen content for children have received remarkably little attention. This volume redresses the balance. With contributions from leading authorities in the field and reference to both iconic and neglected media from around the world, this book sheds light on film and television for children that seeks to make a critical intervention in culture and society. It also investigates the subversive uses of children’s media culture by individuals, communities of fandom, political groups and creative practitioners. In so doing, it represents a major addition to existing scholarship in the field of children’s film and television. |
