The Framing of Calvin Klein: A Frame Analysis of Media Discourse about the August 1995 Calvin Klein Jeans Advertising Campaign.
Tucker, Lauren R.
Critical Studies in Mass Communication, v15 n2 p141-57 Jun 1998
Deconstructs the "kiddie porn" media frame used by the industry and mainstream media to characterize Klein's ad campaign. Extends scholarship on the construction of youth in the media, showing how the kiddie-porn frame produces and reproduces common-sense beliefs about the nature of youth. Suggests a metadiscourse encompassing the politicized discourses of Generational Equity, middle-class morality, and patriarchy. (SR)
