- Description
- This book explores how transatlantic visual culture represented and reconstructed ideas of gender in times of financial crisis. The contributors not only explore how men and women experience austerity differently, but also illuminate the problematic ways in which economic policy can shape gender representation in popular culture. Considered are film, literature and television's ideological attitudes towards race, sex and disability and the way mass culture responded to austerity in the past and the present.
