| Description | Writing against the grain of popular perception and moral panic, Shauna Pomerantz offers a look at the importance of style for girls in school. Fighting assumptions that girls today are dupes of media and capitalism, she argues that style is a significant cultural practice that demands to be taken seriously in the lives of girls. Based on an ethnography at an urban, multicultural high school in Vancouver's east side, Pomerantz contextualizes style as a form of expression that enables girls to produce fluid and multiple identities, social networks, individual images, expressions of agency and power, and cultural affiliations. She strikes a balance between making visible the impact of external forces on the girls in her study, and arguing the poststructuralist position that the girls have agency. |
