The essays collected in Screening Images of American Masculinity in the Age of Post-feminism engage prominent film and television texts that directly interrogate images of U.S. masculinity that have appeared since second-wave feminism, acknowledging the limits of their negotiations and self-actualization. This book covers a wide range of genres and decades: from action and fantasy to dramas and romantic comedy, from the late 1970s to today.Masculinity in motion picturesMasculinity on televisionMotion picturesUnited StatesHistory and criticismTelevision seriesUnited StatesHistory and criticismMasculinity in motion pictures.Masculinity on television.Motion picturesHistory and criticism.Television seriesHistory and criticism.791.43/65211Abele Elizabeth1961-Gronbeck-Tedesco John A.1976-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797852303321Screening images of American masculinity in the age of postfeminism3781978UNINA
