Youth and the Politics of Representation: Response to Thomas Hatch's "If the 'Kids' Are Not 'Alright,' I'm 'Clueless'."

Giroux, Henry A.

Educational Researcher, v26 n4 p27-30 May 1997

Responds to T. Hatch's article "If the 'Kids' Are Not 'Alright,' I'm 'Clueless'" (1996) which raised questions about the quasi-documentary film "Kids" and its relevance for addressing questions of representation of youth in the media. Considers what educators might use in connecting strategies of understanding and intervention to the challenges posed by a pedagogy and politics of representation. (GR)
