Age of the Geek: Depictions of Nerds and Geeks in Popular Media By Kathryn E. Lane
English | PDF,EPUB | 2017 (2018 Edition) | 305 Pages | ISBN : 3319657437 | 3.23 MB
This collection examines the nerd and/or geek stereotype in popular culture today. Utilizing the media—film, TV, YouTube, Twitter, fiction—that often defines daily lives, the contributors interrogate what it means to be labeled a “nerd” or “geek.”
While the nerd/geek that is so easily recognized now is assuredly a twenty-first century construct, an examination of the terms’ history brings a greater understanding of their evolution. From sports to slasher films, Age of the Geek establishes a dialogue with texts as varied as the depictions of “nerd” or “geek” stereotypes.
