Millennials Talking Media

Creating Intertextual Identities in Everyday Conversation

Beschreibung

This book examines how U.S. millennial friends quote both old and new media in their everyday talk. Sylvia Sierra analyzes recorded everyday conversations-including over 140 references to books, songs, lines from films, TV shows, YouTube videos, videogames, and internet memes-to show how millennials signal media references in speech, how they mutually engage with them, and why they use them to handle awkward moments in talk. Millennials in Media demonstrates how these millennials use media references to bring everyone together and ultimately construct a shared millennial identity.
