CONSUMING CHILDREN by Jane Kenway
Argues that we are entering another stage in the construction of the young as the demarcations between education, entertainment and advertising collapse and as the lines between the generations both blur and harden. This book provokes us to ponder the role of the school in the 'age of desire'.
“Jane Kenway and Elizabeth Bullen have written a timely and exciting volume…This is as unreservedly polemical text that provides a breath of fresh air to current thinking about contemporary media and education” – Educational Review
