Chapter 1: The Influence of Television on Subject Formation
Television plays a significant role in shaping the development of children, positioning them as active consumers while influencing their cognitive growth. Through shows like Muppet Babies and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, children are exposed to intertextuality, blending genres across media forms like movies, TV, toys, and games.
