{"product_id":"violence-in-popular-culture","title":"Violence in Popular Culture","description":"A comprehensive resource, this book reviews current and historical examples of violence in film, television, radio, music, music videos, video games, and novels.\nDespite decades of attention and various attempts to enact legislation that limits violence in American popular culture, it remains ubiquitous across films, television, radio, music, music videos, video games, and popular fiction. Studies have shown that programs marketed to children are often remarkably violent and that viewing or otherwise consuming such violence has numerous negative effects on children's psychological health. This book sheds light on the scholarship related to violence in popular culture and compares historical and current examples, analyzing popular shows such as \u003ci\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/i\u003e, video games such as \u003ci\u003eMortal Kombat\u003c\/i\u003e, young adult fiction including the trilogy \u003ci\u003eThe Hunger Games\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.\n\nNot only does \u003ci\u003eViolence in American Popular Culture\u003c\/i\u003e provide a comprehensive review of the research about the effects of violence in media, but it also offers detailed assessments of violent content in various expressions of popular culture. In addition, it invites readers to compare violence in American popular culture with that globally via entries on violence in popular culture outside the United States. An appendix of additional resources and primary sources gives readers further tools for deepening their understanding of this complex and controversial issue.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54217991749976,"sku":"9781440854323","price":92.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/violence-in-popular-culture","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
