Playing with Power in Movies, Television & Video Games – From Muppet Babies to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Hardcover
How do children today learn to understand stories? Why do they respond so enthusiastically to home video games and to a myth like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? And how are such fads related to multinational media mergers and the "new world order"? In assessing these questions, Marsha Kinder provides a brilliant new perspective on modern media.

Review:
"Kinder posits that TV, with its endless narratives and routine interruptions, first fractures the self, and then offers consumption as the Band-Aid. . . . In suggesting that a child might now regard herself, like her heroes, as a 'gendered commodity around which a whole commercial nexus is organized, ' Kinder hints at the hazards of this new mutability."--Julie Phillips, "The Village Voice
From the Back Cover:
"A very productive, thought-provoking analysis of new transformations in today's narrative media and their interpretations of the child-spectator."--Dana Polan, Editor, "Cinema Journal
