Skinny Jeans and Fruity Loops: The Networked Publics of Global Youth Culture

November 10, 2009 5:15pm-6:15pm Add to my calendar

What can we learn about contemporary culture from watching dayglo-clad teenagers dancing geekily in front of their computers in such disparate sites as Brooklyn, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg, and Mexico City? How has the embrace of ?new media? by so-called ?digital natives? facilitated the formation of transnational, digital publics? More important, what are the local effects of such practices, and why do they seem to generate such hostile responses and anxiety about the future?
