This collection explores the representation and performance of queer youth in media cultures, primarily examining TV, film and online media. Offering an interdisciplinary focus and presenting a range of contributions from authors based in and/or writing about the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Turkey, India, Scandinavia and Africa, it is organized under three sections: 'Performance and Culture', 'Histories and Commodity,' and 'Transnational Intersections.' Specific themes of investigation include the context of queer youth suicide and educational strategies to avert this within online media; the significance of coming-out videos produced online; the historical precedence of television and film representation; the representation of age-different relationships within film; transgender youth and the use of online media; educational video projects involving affirmation; cyberbullying and hierarchies in new media identity; and limitations in Scandinavian coming-out films.--publisher's description
