Description
Gender and the Media offers a critical introduction to the study of gender in the media, exploring the contradictory character of contemporary gender representations. This book examines how women and men are represented in various forms of media, including talk shows, magazines, news, advertising, and screen romances.
The author considers five areas of media, looking at how representations are changing in response to feminist, queer, and anti-racist critique. She also discusses theoretical tools for analysing representations, such as semiotics and postcolonial theory, and raises questions about effective forms of critique and intervention in today's Western media.
With a range of approaches and perspectives, Gender and the Media provides a nuanced understanding of cultural politics and the ways in which media shapes our understanding of gender. This book is an important contribution to the study of gender in the media, offering insights into the complex issues and debates that shape contemporary culture.
