Drawing examples from 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244033224940,"sku":"9781350442474","price":187.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350442474-sex-censorship-and-the-millennial-teen-film-1.jpg?v=1787992172","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/sex-censorship-and-the-millennial-teen-film-by-jade-jontef-9781350442474","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
