Ideology of protection; deviant youth and reproduction of social order
(deviant youth - bad youth)
the good youth are reassured by what we see from the bad youth. We get an idea of what is right and what is wrong.
This refers to the re-ordering of the limitations so that the anarchist youth can be brought back into a protective state; reordering society. Dominant ideologies infer that youth need to be protected. This is shown through the films by the protagonists (such as Harry Brown, the couple in Eden Lake) attempts to overcome and over power the youths. In Attack the Block society is reproduced through the youths themselves who are protecting society from the ‘real’ monsters. These representations are used to show the deviant and ‘normal’ youths the results of the actions of anarchist’s youths, in order to keep them within the boundaries in which they can be protected.
- Representations of delinquent youths reinforce hegemony
- 'Normal' adult and youth behaviour, contrasted with deviant youth behaviour
- Representtaions of young people out of control allows the state to have more control
- Ideology of Protection: Young people need constant surveillance and monitoring.(police) State ensures that they conform to hegemonic values.
Harry brown is full of deviant youths
