CerielloStill reading; but appreciating this early treatment of important religious/spiritual pop cultural influences on youth. The sections on Buffy include some very useful insights.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great readBy Anne BordenLynn Schofield Clark provides us with the exciting opportunity to venture into the various worlds of teen spirituality. Her analysis covers everything from rituals of the spend-the-night party games like ouija boards and "light as a feather" where one teen levitates to television shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.Clark miraculously combines the book knowledge of an academic and the deep understanding and caring of a church youth group volunteer.I recommend this book for anyone who works with youth (e.g.; teachers; youth pastors) as well as parents of teens. It would also make a fabulous addition to college courses. Clark applies theories from Sociology; Cultural Studies; and Media Studies to down-to-earth examples that students are sure to enjoy!5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating; well-researched book on teens; media and beliefBy A CustomerThis is a fascinating study of the role of media and religion in the lives of young people. As a media studies scholar; I found the book refreshing in its clarity and in its interest in how teens think about and deal with the notion of the supernatural.The authors use of ethnographic techniques gives the book detail and depth; as it goes far beyond the limits of survey research to look at religion in American culture. This is a must-read for everyone interested in culture and media; as it deals seriously with profound changes in American society.
