Description

Rebecca Feasey explores how masculinities are represented in popular television genres. This comprehensive introduction examines the depiction of public masculinity in various TV formats, including soap operas, comedies, animation, and reality shows. Feasey considers how these representations construct, circulate, and interrogate traditional notions of masculinity, and how they relate to the cultural landscape. By drawing on a range of successful television programmes, she provides a clear and accessible overview of existing debates about representation on screen. This book offers a nuanced analysis of masculinities in contemporary British and American programming, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in understanding the ways in which masculinity is portrayed in popular culture.
