Merchants of Cool

I'm moving into a unit on youth culture/subcultures in my junior seminar this week. I've already taught Dick Hebdige's groundbreaking work on subcultures and will be teaching Angela McRobbie's "Youth Culture and Femininity" later this week.

But because of a blip in the schedule, I'll have some extra time in class on Monday, in which I'll be showing segments of Douglas Rushkoff's fascinating Frontline documentary, Mercahnts of Cool, conveniently available online at the Frontline website, and discussing Malcolm Gladwell's essay on "coolhunting."
