The Hunger Games

Cinema and Youth Cultures engages with well-known youth films from American cinema as well the cinemas of other countries. Using a variety of methodological and critical approaches the series volumes provide informed accounts of how young people have been represented in film, while also exploring the ways in which young people engage with films made for and about them. In doing this, the Cinema and Youth Cultures series contributes to important and longstanding debates about youth cultures, how these are mobilised and articulated in influential film texts and the impact that these texts have had on popular culture at large.
