{"product_id":"youth-and-suicide-in-american-alessandra-seggi-9783031086885","title":"Youth and Suicide in American Cinema: Context, Causes, and Consequences","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the depiction of suicide in American youth films from 1900 to 2019. Anchored in Sociology, this multidisciplinary study investigates the causes and consequences of suicide and uncovers the socio-cultural context for the development of youth, film, and suicide. While such cinematic portrayals seem to privilege external explanations of suicide versus internal or psychological ones, overall they are neither rich nor sensitive. Most are simplistic, limited or at the very least unbalanced. At times, they are flatly controversial. In light of this overall problematic depiction of suicide, this book offers a proactive approach to empower young audiences--a media literacy strategy to embrace while watching these films. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandra Seggi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031086880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031086885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.76d","brand":"Alessandra Seggi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761133318399,"sku":"9783031086885","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04588de9-0c3a-4d5e-815b-eb6c59c89a75.jpg?v=1706680466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/youth-and-suicide-in-american-alessandra-seggi-9783031086885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
