«Placeres inquietantes» is Henry A. Giroux's essay on popular culture and education, published by Paidós in paperback (274 pages, in Spanish).
Giroux analyses how film, music and television shape young people's identity and their way of understanding the world. Faced with a school that ignores these media, he proposes integrating them into the classroom to exercise critical thinking and civic participation, understanding popular culture as a pedagogical space.
The cover bears the subtitle «Aprendiendo la cultura popular». The work was originally published in 1994 in English as «Disturbing Pleasures: Learning Popular Culture».
A work of interest to educators, education students and anyone wishing to analyse the role of the media in shaping young people.
