Drawing on social, cultural and feminist theory, these writers explore how men and women experience austerity differently and illuminate the problematic ways in which economic policy can shape how gender is presented in popular culture. Written from the perspective that the popular is indeed political, this book considers film, literature and television's ideological attitudes towards race, sex and disability. It also takes into account how mass culture has responded to austerity in the past and the present, whilst examining the impact that feminism will have in the future." -- Publisher's description. 410 0$aLibrary of gender and popular culture ;$v13. 606 $aSex role in mass media 606 $aSex role$xEconomic aspects 606 $2Gender studies, gender groups 615 0$aSex role in mass media. 615 0$aSex role$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a302.23081 702 $aDavies$b Helen$f1983- 702 $aO'Callaghan$b Claire 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156167603321 996 $aGender and austerity in popular culture$92895871 997 $aUNINA
