Abstract:

Can children’s media be a source of education and empowerment? Or is the
commercial media market a threat to their sense of social and democratic
values? Such questions about the appropriateness of children’s media
consumption have recurred in public debates throughout the twentieth century.
>From Superman to Social Realism provides an exciting new approach to the study
of children’s media and childhood history, drawing on theories of cross-media
consumption and transnational history. Based on extensive Scandinavian source
material, it explores public debates about children’s media between 1945 and
1985. Readers are taken on a fascinating journey through debates about
superheroes in the 1950s, politicization of children’s media in the 1960s, and
about television and social realism in the 1980s. Arguments are firmly
contextualized in Scandinavian childhood and welfare state history, an
approach that demonstrates why professional and political groups have
perceived children’s media as the key to the enculturation of future
generations.
