- Description
- Heinecken examines contemporary representaitons of the female action hero in three series : La femme Nikita, Aeon Flux, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Detailed readings focus on the ways the structure and content of each series work to create specific understandings of the body that are in contrast to those of male-centered action texts. Arguing that television texts mediate larger cultural concerns, this book considers the feminist implications of the series and uses insights from critical writings on contemporary culture and the body to discuss the ways the female hero functions as a potent contemporary cultural symbol.

- Description
- This book explores the tentacular reach of the Oprah enterprise to unveil the role culture plays in making sense of our lives and in binding us to a realm of values. By immersing the reader in all things Oprah -using examples from her television show, her book club, her magazine and her website -Illouz shows us how traditional models of cultural analysis fail to fully explain the power of such a unique, complex and boundary-less phenomenon. Instead, Illouz walks the high wire between 'understanding' and 'critiquing' -an approach she calls 'ethical criticism.'
