Teen Girls' Resistance and the Disappearing Social in "Ghost World."
Giroux, Henry A.
Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, v24 n4 p283-304 Oct-Dec 2002
Examines "Ghost World," a Hollywood film about youth, friendship, alienation, and survival, critically investigating how popular representations of youth signal a particular crisis of the social through a discourse of privatization, which fails to locate youth and problems they face within the related geographies of the social and political. The paper notes that when situated within critical pedagogy, "Ghost World" offers a complex set of pedagogical and political challenges. (SM)
