"Screening Generation X: The Politics and Popular Memory of Youth in Contemporary Cinema" examines popular representations of Generation X in American and British film. In arguing that the various constructions of youth are marked by major cultural shifts and societal inequalities, it analyzes the iconic 'Gen X' figures ranging from the slacker, the teenage time traveller, and third wave feminists, to the oeuvre of Molly Ringwald and Richard Linklater. This book explores the important cultural work performed by films that mediate the experiences of Generation X and critiques the ongoing marginalization of the youth who struggle to find their identity and a voice in increasingly unstable times. Specific analyzes of such films as "Pump Up the Volume", "The Breakfast Club', "Heathers", "Donnie Darko" and "Waking Life" are used to illustrate the research Introduction The subcultural style of Generation X Rebels with a cause : popular youth cinema, unpopular politics Taking out the trash : the politics of remembering (and forgetting) Girl power : the politics of pop Violent femmes : angry girls in youth cinema Club casualties : go-go(ing) girls of rave Boys to men and back again : the historian and the time traveller Another sunrise, another sunset : beyond Generation X Conclusion : thanks for the good times, where to now?
