Abstract

To a great extent, the family determines what media children and youth consume, as well as in what phase of life, how, and why. Silja Schoett proves this not-so-new claim in a convincing manner by analyzing two case studies utilizing as her instrument a media-biographical case reconstruction. She justifies these methods extensively and thus makes them applicable to other examples and problems. On the basis of her systematic perspective, she examines the individual within the entire familial context, ignoring however other factors (for example social environment, school, economic relations), which equally determine life stories and media socialization.
