Utilizing the media-film, TV, YouTube, Twitter, fiction-that often defines daily lives, the contributors interrogate what it means to be labeled a "nerd" or "geek." While the nerd/geek that is so easily recognized now is assuredly a twenty-first century construct, an examination of the terms' history brings a greater understanding of their evolution. From sports to slasher films, Age of the Geek establishes a dialogue with texts as varied as the depictions of "nerd" or "geek" stereotypes. 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aCulture 606 $aSex 606 $aFilm genres 606 $aCommunication 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aAmerican Culture 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aGenre Studies 606 $aMedia and Communication 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aFilm genres. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 14$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aGenre Studies. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 676 $a302.230973 702 $aLane$b Kathryn E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299998903321 996 $aAge of the Geek$92242487 997 $aUNINA
