Abstract

This paper examines the reception of the miniseries Adolescence, produced by Stephen Graham and Hannah Walters, by focusing on the representation of youth violence, emotional vulnerability, and generational conflict between parents and children in the United Kingdom. The analysis draws on Ging and Baele to contextualize incel and “redpill” culture, both harmful in a hyperconnected society, on Sobchack and Staiger to examine audiovisual reception, and on Bourdieu to explore generational tensions and habitus.
