Mediating Post-Socialist Femininities Hardback
Edited by Nadia (University of Denver, USA) Kaneva
Hardback
Description
Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, this collection of essays examines the ways in which popular media re-construct ideas and ideals of femininity in the post-socialist cultural space.
The authors explore a comprehensive range of questions including: How have post-socialist women engaged with media as media producers and consumers, as well as objects of media representation?
What are the consequences of the commodification of femininity in the post-socialist context?
How does the female body serve as a battleground for the enactment and renegotiation of gendered identities and ideologies?
How can we understand and theorize post-socialist women's activist movements?
In seeking answers to such questions, this volume highlights the need to reconsider feminism as a political and theoretical project with many faces.
It bridges research on the mediation of post-socialist femininities with broader concerns about the transnational trajectories of feminism today. This book was originally published as a special issue of Feminist Media Studies.
