Drawing examples from Western film classification and ratings policies, she argues that these films present a homogenous and exclusionary form of teenhood, providing millennial audiences a limited perspective of youth culture informed by white, middle-class sensibilities and notions of 'proper' sexual behaviour. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining close textual analysis with a uniquely socio-legal framework, Jontef interrogates the relationship between cinematic representation and institutional regulations. She highlights how dominant Anglo-American narratives perpetuate exclusionary ideas of adolescence and limited constructions of gender and sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jade Jontef\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135044247X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350442474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.00d","brand":"Jade Jontef","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48137179955455,"sku":"9781350442474","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a148a26b-5af8-42a8-b6de-ec011652fd2b.jpg?v=1770167086","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-censorship-and-the-millennial-jade-jontef-9781350442474","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
