• W579355265 abstract "Deconstructing Youth: Youth Discourses at the Limits of Sense, by Fleur Gabriel, provides a compelling analytical account of the confounding presence that youth have in modern Western culture. The book is geared towards adults seeking to better understand the youth mind. Gabriel starts with a general approach to defining what youth is and how it is viewed and translated across multiple domains (such as parental/clinical and the media). In the later chapters, Gabriel turns to a more narrowly tailored approach drawing on specific case studies that depict ‘‘youth in action’’ in their most controversial and feared light. This includes examples from popular films that depict teen rebellion to a discourse of the columbine school shooting massacre that occurred in 1999. The book aims to add insight into the preexisting views of how contemporary youth is thought about in modern society. More importantly the book offers guidance and presents itself as a go-to manual for adults seeking to come to terms with the most alarming of youth activities. Gabriel’s approach to deconstructing youth offers compelling alternatives to the norm that are essential if the social hierarchy is to be maintained. In chapter 1, the ‘‘Introduction’’, Gabriel explores the idea that the contemporary Western view of youth in society needs to be reformed. The strict binary between child and adult which mainstream society uses, according to Gabriel, is unsatisfactory. Instead, Gabriel evokes the idea that the concept of youth can stand alone as its own separate culture with its own connotations similar to how the terms adult and child are separated now. Gabriel opens the chapter with an analysis of a campaign performed in Australia on youth ‘‘binge drinking’’. The campaign was staged to be similar to common campaigns performed to raise awareness about smoking and HIV/AIDS, however the advertisements were purposed with the goal to ‘‘scare the living daylights out of young people’’ (Gabriel 2013, p. 7). This campaign serves as a dual purpose to both scare and protect youth and elicits the idea that adolescents can be seen as a threat to society. In this chapter, Gabriel starts to disentangle some of the ambiguity behind the term youth and proposes an idea that sets the stage for the rest of the book. The idea proposed is simply thinking youth or ‘‘a focus on how youth is thought and how knowledge of youth is being constructed’’ (Gabriel 2013, p. 11). Chapter 2, ‘‘The State of Contemporary Youth: Conceptual Underpinnings of Dominant Youth Discourses,’’ develops the ideology behind what it means to be an adolescent in contemporary or ‘‘mainstream’’ society. Gabriel opens the chapter with a brief summary of the main points, then offers two stories centered on disturbing youth behavior in Australia. The stories revolve around two groups of teenagers committing acts of crime and deviance that question how society views its youth. Gabriel begins with the ‘‘Teenage Kings of Werribee’’ a video that depicts several teenage boys bullying and sexually assaulting another teenage girl with a known developmental delay. The video footage displays the boys urinating on her, setting fire to her hair, and forcing her to perform oral sex. Another video titled ‘‘Gobs 2012’’ featured a group of teenage girls offering, but not performing, oral sex for 80 cents per minute to supposedly raise money for the prevention of sexual assault. However, once this video went viral the original intent of the video (whatever it may have been) was lost. Gabriel claims that ‘‘this kind of behavior from young people, both boys and girls, transgresses not just social expectations concerning youth, but the perceived & Jonathan M.
