Media and Masculinities in Contemporary Russia : Constructing Non-heteronormativity, Hardback Book

Media and Masculinities in Contemporary Russia : Constructing Non-heteronormativity Hardback

Part of the Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series series

Hardback

Description

Based on extensive original research, this book examines the extent to which media in Russia upholds the Russian government’s stance on sexuality.

It considers the Russian government’s policies designed to uphold ‘traditional sexuality’, reveals the strategies of resistance used by Russian media outlets to create positive portrayals of non-heteronormative people and circumvent the restrictive 2013 legislation banning positive representations of ‘non-traditional sexual relations’, and highlights particular examples of subversive media practices.

Overall, the book challenges the prevailing view that media in authoritarian regimes are completely compliant with their government’s position.
