How do films, comics, and TV series depict the newly fashionable gunwomen between objectification and feminist empowerment? The contributions to this volume ask this question from different vantage points in cultural and literary studies, film and visual culture studies, history, and art history. They examine military and civic gun cultures, the rediscovery of historical armed women and revolutionaries, cultural phenomena such as gangsta rap, narcocultura and US politics, Bollywood and French cinema, and distinct genres such as the graphic novel, the romance novel, or the German police procedural Tatort.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Gender StudiesbisacshAmerican Studies.Culture.Film.Gender Studies.Gender.Gun Culture.Heroines.Literary Studies.Literature.Memoir.Popular Culture.Visual Art.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Gender Studies.Ajgaonkar Hridaya, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDickel Simon, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbEllerbrock Dagmar, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbFeldman Andrea, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbGermanaz Axelle, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbGerund Katharina, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHiergeist Teresa, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHiergeist Teresa, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHoltz Martin, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbKluger Johanna, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbKolesnyk Ganna, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbMayer Stefanie, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSchäfer Stefanie, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSchäfer Stefanie, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSeauve Lena, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSpychala Mareike, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbTürschmann Jörg, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbVrdoljak Hana, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996588060203316Ladies in Arms4148324UNISA
