Feminist Media Studies

by Alison Harvey

Feminist Media Studies  is a cutting-edge introduction to the core and emerging theories, methods, and approaches in a field that has blossomed over the past twenty-five years. Adopting an intersectional approach – a framework concerning the interconnected character of oppression based on gender, race, class, and other constructed identities – Alison Harvey takes a global view of gendered practices in and around the media. She provides an accessible overview of classical and contemporary issues in media culture by exploring the past, present, and future of feminist media studies, accounting for changes in the media landscape, from digital technologies and globalized media systems to emergent inequalities, discourses, and practices. By engaging with research from a diverse body of scholarship, this book situates feminist media studies as vital to researching and analysing a range of significant issues. The go-to textbook for a new generation of students, as well as an important resource for scholars,  Feminist Media Studies  is both an exciting invitation to the field and a passionate call to arms.

Re-read almost exactly 1 year later for class 😤😤

Comprehensive exams coming up got me reading full books 😅

Great overview of the field! Probably a starting point rather than an end. Loved the attention to action/activism as well as research.

Ottimo testo di partenza sugli studi femministi dei media, la scrittura è chiara e accessibile a chiunque voglia una panoramica di base su questi temi.
