Interim book		Puberty blues / Nell Schofield Sydney: Currency Press, 2004. Call No: 79PUB SCH Author: Schofield, Nell Source: AT Place: Sydney Publisher: Currency Press PubDate: 2004 PhysDes: 88 p. : ill. ; 20 cm Subject: PUBERTY BLUES (AT, Bruce Beresford, 1981); WOMEN AND THE CINEMA. AUSTRALIA; BEACH MOVIES; SOCIAL GROUPS IN FILMS; SEX IN FILMS. AUSTRALIA; YOUNG PEOPLE IN FILMS; SURFING FILMS Summary: In this lively and honest account, writer and broadcaster Nell Schofield recalls how she won the role of Debbie and what it was like on the set. She looks at the parallels between the film, the book and her own surfside teenage years, and at the extraordinary responses to the film, both on its release and since. It’s a story as idiosyncratically Australian as the film that showed everyone who ever had any doubt that chicks can surf. ISBN: 0868197491 More info
book		Queering teen cultures : all-American boys and same-sex desire in film and television / Jeffery P.

Is the overwhelming boy-meets-girl content of popular teen movies, music, books, and TV just a cover for an undercurrent of same-sex desire? From the 1950s to the present, popular culture has involved teenage boys falling for, longing over, dreaming about, singing to, and fighting over, teenage girls. But Queering Teen Culture analyzes more than 200 movies and TV shows to uncover who Frankie Avalon's character was really in love with in those beach movies and why Leif Garrett became a teen idol in the 1970s. -- book jacket ISBN: 9781560233480 Contents: Preface -- Devil on wheels: the rise of teen culture -- Father knows best: learning girl-craziness on TV -- Sal Mineo and friends: the juvenile delinquent films -- Teenage zombies from outer space: monster movies -- Heartbreak Hotel: the teen idols -- How to stuff a wild bikini: the beach movies -- Easy rider: the love generation -- American graffiti: 1950's nostalgia and teenage androgyny -- Real men and psycho-slashers -- The brat pack: teen nerds and operators -- Teencoms and teensoaps.

book		Writing the australian beach : local site, global idea / Edited by Elizabeth Ellison; Donna Lee Brien Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan, 2020. Author: Ellison, Elzabeth; Brien, Donna Lee Edition: 2020 Place: Cham, Switzerland Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan PubDate: 2020 PhysDes: xvi, 244 pages : illustrated Subject: BEACH MOVIES; HORROR FILMS. AUSTRALIA; SURFING THE MENU [TV] (AT, Geoffrey Bennett, 2003) Summary: Writing the Australian Beach is the first in fifteen years to explore creative and cultural representations of this iconic landscape, and how writers and scholars have attempted to understand and depict it. Although the content chiefly focuses on Australia, the beach as both a location and idea resonates deeply with readers around the world. This edited collection includes three sections. Forms of Beach Writing examines the history of beach writing in Australia and in a number of forms: screenwriting, social media writing, and food writing. In turn, Multiplicities of Australian Beach Writing examines how forms of writing—poetry, travel writing, horror film, and memoir—engage with some specific beaches in Australia. And, finally, Reading the Beach as a Text considers how the beach itself functions in cultural narratives: how we walk the beach; the revealing story of beach soccer; and the design and use of ocean baths. Given its scope, the collection offers a unique resource for scholars of Australian culture and creative writing, and for all those interested in Australian beaches. -- publisher's web site ISBN: 9783030352660 Contents: Foreword – acknowledgements -- Writing the Australian Beach: Texts, Sites, Events and People / Elizabeth Ellison, Donna Lee Brien Forms of Beach Writing -- Surfers, Lifeguards and New Voices: A Short History of Beach Writing in Australia / Elizabeth Ellison -- Screenwriting the Beach: Conflict, Catharsis and the Character Arc in Australian Film / Craig Batty, Philippa Burne, Stephen Gaunson -- Instafamous: Social Media / Influencers and Australian Beaches / Marjorie Kibby -- Food Writing and the Australian Beach: From Leisure to Labour / Donna Lee Brien Multiplicities of Australian Beach Writing -- Exploring Australian Coastal Gothic: Poetry and Place / Lynda Hawryluk -- Writing Noosa’s Beach: Travellers’ Narratives and Modernity / Nick Osbaldiston -- Beaches in Australian Horror Films: Sites of Fear and Retreat / Mark David Ryan, Elizabeth Ellison -- Challenging the Beach as Paradise in Fiction and Memoir: The Gold Coast’s Bathing Beauties / Kelly Palmer Reading the Beach as Text -- Walking the Australian Beach: Mapping Footprints in the Sand / Lesley Hawkes -- Australian Beach Soccer: Tracing Paradoxical Narratives / Lee McGowan, Elizabeth Ellison, Michele Lastella -- Australia’s Ocean Baths: Stories of Design, Aesthetics and Swimming / Susan Carson -- Sculpture by the Sea: A Visual Essay / Mark Maxwell, Elizabeth Ellison Index More info
