Additional information: | This chapter presents an original piece of research in the new and emerging field of girlhood studies. The chapter uses media production with girls as an innovative method to collect data on the subjects’ reading of digital cultures. The analysis focuses on the notion of ‘tween’ as a distinct age group, and raises questions about established concepts of structure and agency. The chapter is part of a book that is forging new ground in feminist studies by focusing on girlhood. The editors are internationally known authors in the field of children’s cultures. The chapter was refereed by the editors and selected from an international call for papers. This document has been closed because the permission of the publisher has not been verified. |
