Teen TV

Teen TV is booming. Current youth series on streaming platforms are a clear indication of this trend, but have so far received little attention in German-language media studies. This anthology provides a fundamental introduction to serial teen TV drama and takes a look at central case studies, from 13 Reasons Why to DRUCK, the German adaptation of the Norwegian transmedia youth drama SKAM. In addition to the content and aesthetics of serial teen narratives, the book looks at their reception and production contexts.

 

The content: Foundations of Teen TV - Current Teen TV: Case studies - Teen TV from Germany - DRUCK as transmedial Teen TV

The target groups: Lecturers and students of media and cultural studies, media pedagogy and educational science as well as sociology
