[Air-L] New book - Mediated Youth Cultures

[Brady Robards]

Hi folks,

I'm delighted to announce a new book, that may be of interest to you -
*Mediated
Youth Cultures: The internet, belonging, and new cultural configurations* -
just published by Palgrave.

http://www.palgrave.com/page/detail/?K=9781137287014

It's an edited collection of thirteen essays from around the world covering
topics such as growing up stories on Facebook, the phenomenon of dance
imitations on YouTube, the circulation of zines online, the resurgence of
roller derby on the social web, mediated drinking cultures, Israeli design
blogs, the circulation of Korean pop music, and more.

In some ways, this book follows on from a special issue of the journal
*Continuum* published in 2012 on the same topic (
http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ccon20/26/3). TOC for the book is below.

Cheers,
Brady (co-editor, with Andy Bennett)
