- Publisher's Summary
- Comprising the most current scholarship from leading experts in the fields of gender and media studies, "Gendered Transformations" offers readers a new foundation from which to re-examine traditional perspectives on gender. Organized into sections concerning representational politics, embodied performance, and social constructions of reality, these essays explore a wide variety of concerns from a similarly wide variety of perspectives, from essentialist to anti-essentialist. A thought-provoking contribution to a number of disparate fields, "Gendered Transformations" offers a rare interdisciplinary approach to gender that reflects the most recent developments in media theory and methodology.
