Popular media present a vast array of stories about women and men.
What impact do these images and ideas have on people’s identities?
The new edition of Media, Gender and Identity is a highly readable
introduction to the relationship between media and gender identities
today. Fully revised and updated, including new case studies and a new
chapter, it considers a wide range of research and provides new ways
for thinking about the media’s influence on gender and sexuality.
David Gauntlett discusses movies such as Knocked Up and Spiderman 3,
men’s and women’s magazines, TV shows, self-help books, YouTube
videos, and more, to show how the media play a role in the shaping of
individual self-identities. The book includes: a comparison of gender
representations in the past and today, from James Bond to Ugly Betty
an introduction to key theorists such as Judith Butler, Anthony
Giddens and Michel Foucault an outline of creative approaches, where
identities are explored with video, drawing, or Lego bricks
a Companion Website with extra articles, interviews and selected
