Introduction to Special Issue—Youngsters 3
You Know You Love Me
In this paper, I analyse young women's video remixes of the teen drama Gossip Girl. With its emphasis on glamour, style, and status and its interpellation of young female viewers as the ideal consumers within neoliberal regimes, Gossip Girl bears many of the marks of post-feminist media. Drawing on an archive of videos posted to YouTube during the programme's first two seasons, I show how young video makers re-imagine the programme's post-feminis…
The Pedagogical Potential of Video Remix
Appropriation, transformation and remix are increasingly recognized as significant aspects of digital literacy. This article considers how one form of digital remix – the video remix – might be used in classrooms to introduce critical conversations about representation, appropriation, creativity and copyright. The first half of the article explores the opportunities that remix presents to reflect on mainstream media ideologies, emerging modes of …
Contestation in the Colbert Nation
This article traces tensions between participants and producers on the official Colbert Report discussion boards. Employing critical discourse analysis, it examines the flow of power between the program’s producers and fans as they struggle over how the parody’s meanings will be interpreted, and how fans’ digital labor and content will be used. I begin by recounting the conflicted history of the message boards, and then analyze a sample of discus…

Reading Lolita in times of war
In this article I argue that women’s book clubs are significant sites for learning, dialogue and the accumulation of cultural capital, and that research on North American women’s book clubs should be expanded to include studies of such groups’ consumption of texts by and about women living in the Middle East. Using insights from transnational feminism and reception theory, I analyze the ways in which such texts are received at a time when the ren…
I Want to Tell You about My Life Now”
Many individuals and institutions – from scholar Edward Said to media watchdog Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting – have noted the Western media’s imbalance in presenting the struggles of the Palestinian people, particularly during the ongoing Al-Aqsa Intifada. Yet as the mainstream media continue to under-report violence against Palestinians and misrepresent the occupation of Palestinian lands, Palestinian filmmakers have begun to generate their o…
