Beschreibung
This book elucidates what makes television characters attractive to girls and boys. Typical self-developmental trajectories of girls and boys and the problems associated with these trajectories are shown from a gender-specific perspective. Therefore specific series and general formats are examined from a media-analytical perspective.
Out of all the media that today’s children encounter, what makes a particular TV character a child’s favorite? Based on 80 case studies, in-depth fan studies and standardized surveys with over 5,000 children between the ages six and twelve in Germany, this book elucidates how girls and boys use TV characters in their everyday lives and their identity work.
