Yet the cultural anxiety that this has caused has received scant academic attention. In \u003ci\u003eTweenhood\u003c\/i\u003e, Melanie Kennedy rectifies this and examines mainstream, pre-adolescent girls' films, television programmes and celebrities from 2004 onwards, including \u003ci\u003eA Cinderella Story\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), \u003ci\u003eHannah Montana\u003c\/i\u003e (2006) and \u003ci\u003eCamp Rock \u003c\/i\u003e(2008). Her book forges a dialogue between post-feminism, film and television, celebrity and most importantly; the figure of the tween. Kennedy examines how these media texts, which are so key to tween culture, address and construct their target audience by helping them to 'choose' an appropriately feminine identity. Tweenhood then, she argues, is transient and a discursive construct whose unpacking highlights the deification of celebrity and femininity within its culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMelanie Kennedy\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Media and Communication at the University of Leicester, UK.
