- Description
- From the bestselling Bridget Jones's Diary that started the trend to the television sensation Sex and the City that captured it on screen, 'chick lit' has become a major pop culture phenomenon. Banking on female audiences' identification with single, urban characters who struggle with the same life challenges, publishers have earned millions and even created separate imprints dedicated to the genre. Not surprisingly, some highbrow critics have dismissed chick lit as trashy fiction, but fans have argued that it is as empowering as it is entertaining. .The contributors in this volume explore the characteristics that cause readers to attach the moniker 'chick' to a particular book and what, if anything, distinguishes the category of chick lit from the works of Jane Austen on one end and Harlequin romance novels on the other. They critique the genre from a range of critical perspectives, considering its conflicted relationship with feminism and postfeminism, heterosexual romance, body image, and consumerism. The fourteen original essays gathered here also explore such trends and subgenres as 'Sistah Lit,' 'Mommy Lit,' and 'Chick Lit Jr.,' as well as regional variations.

- Description
- This collection brings feminist critique to bear on contemporary postfeminist mass media culture, analyzing phenomena ranging from action films featuring violent heroines to the “girling” of aging women in productions such as the movie Something’s Gotta Give and the British television series 10 Years Younger.This book broadly defines that feminism has accomplished its goals and is now a thing of the past. It presumes that women are unsatisfied with their legal and social equality and can find fulfillment only through practices of transformation and empowerment. Postfeminism is defined by class, age, and racial exclusions: it is youth-obsessed and white and middle-class by default. Anchored in consumption as a strategy and leisure as a site for the production of the self, postfeminist mass media assumes that the pleasures and lifestyles with which it is associated are somehow universally shared and, perhaps more significantly, universally accessible.

- Description
- Feminism is one of the most important perspectives from which visual culture has been theorized and historicized over the past forty years. Challenging the notion of feminism as a unified discourse, this second edition of The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader assembles 73 articles that address art, film, architecture, popular culture, new media and other visual fields from a feminist perspective. Articles are grouped into thematic sections, each of which is introduced by the editor. Providing a framework within which to understand the shifts in feminist thinking in visual studies, as well as an overview of major feminist theories of the visual, this reader also explores how issues of race, class, nationality, and sexuality enter into debates about feminism in the field of the visual.

- Description
- Study about the impact of striptease culture on the media, relationships, educational and working lives of people. By exploring film, print and online pornographies, representations of masturbation in film and television, sexualized advertising, and problem page sex the contributors argue that in all aspects of social and cultural life, sex is being 'mainstreamed'. They also examine young people’s views of sex in mainstream media: women’s use of sexual media in the home: pole dancing as exercise and performance: third wave feminism and the sexualization debate.
