TEENAGE: THE CREATION OF YOUTH CULTURE
Book ID/图书代码： 10420006B07453
English Summary/英文概要： From the author of the critically acclaimed England’s Dreaming, a landmark cultural history of youth
Teenagers—as we have come to define them—were not, award-winning author Jon Savage tells us, born in the 1950s of rockers and Beatniks, when most histories would begin. Rather, the teenager as icon can be traced back to the 1890s, when the foundations for the new century were laid in urban youth culture.
Teenage: The Creation of Youth Culture is a monumental cultural history that charts the spread of the American ideal of youth through England and Europe and around the world. From Peter Pan to Oscar Wilde, Anne Frank to the Wizard of Oz, Savage documents youth culture’s development as a commodity and an industry from the turn of the last century to its current driving force in the global economy. Fusing film, music, literature, diaries, fashion, and art, this epic cultural history is an astonishing and surprising chronicle of modern life sure to appeal to pop culture fans, social history buffs, and anyone who has ever been a teenager.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你認為青少年很難懂嗎？為什麼現在各大企業都把他們當作很重要的行銷對象要緊抓著他們不可？許多研究把青少年和消費主義的崛起連結在一起，因為 teenager、teen 和其他變化詞都是在 40 年代之後被廣泛使用，可是英國得獎音樂專欄作家 Jon Savage 不這麼認為，他將他多年來研究流行音樂與專訪年輕搖滾樂手的心得，寫成「青少年」的編年史，從 19 世紀開始說起，嘎然而止於 1945 年，為青春提供一個嶄新觀點。
在 Jon Savage 的 Teenage 中，你會看到不同世代的青春少年家──真實或有象徵意義的──你會讀到盧梭與歌德、大亨小傳的費茲傑羅，綠野仙蹤和彼得潘，你也會讀到希特勒青年團、Bright Young People、White Rose 還有青少年時期的荷妮 (Karen Horney，知名心理分析師與作家) 以及 Anne Frank 的故事。全書涵蓋英美歐德，橫跨兩次世界大戰，紀錄法西斯主義與消費資本主義的消長，非常精采。
讀畢後會反思 ipod、wii 跨年齡層的風靡，是否是我們在哭吼青春的延長，尋找那塊 Neverland？全球化要等於一致化嗎？
Jon Savage認為 ”儘管這個年齡層終究要面對社會改變的苦果，他們正嘗試進入所謂”大人的世界”，並且在理想與現實中掙扎。” 但是 ”我最想問的是，如果他們不能消費購物，他們能做什麼? 我們的社會被消費主義領導了有十五年之久，這些孩子們有著無數的CD和Plasma電視，還有無可比擬的財富。(VL)
