Abstract or Description
This interactive symposium draws from critical, post-structural and post-colonial perspectives to examine children and their relation to consumerism through a variety of lenses. The papers highlight the nuanced approaches taken in a variety of communities adding to our understanding of children and their interactions with popular culture. Issues in this symposium range from indigenous Dine children’s interpretation of popular culture images depicting Native Americans to a Foucauldian analysis of Disney Princesses as a site of regulation to an examination of children’s’ use of popular culture as a tool of resistance in classrooms. This symposium includes studies of children from infant to early elementary grades.
