This book analyses Australian popular culture – chick lit novels; ‘dramedy’ television shows; women’s magazines; YouTube beauty vlogs; self-help manuals; and newspapers – to reveal the tensions, contradictions and ambiguities that have always been constitutive of postfeminism, including in Australia. Examining how these popular forms intervene in dominant conversations about contemporary Australian femininities, \u003ci\u003ePostfeminism in Context \u003c\/i\u003emaps the ways in which various aspects of Australia’s history and national identity have shaped its postfeminism. While Henderson and Taylor identify some of the limited postfeminist tropes and patterns of representation evident in comparable locales, they also find that Australian popular culture has responded to feminism in a much more hopeful way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdding some much-needed cultural specificity to the ongoing debate around this loaded term, \u003ci\u003ePostfeminism in Context\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for those interested in Australian popular culture, feminism, and the gendered politics of representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575570948334,"sku":"9781032087504","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/postfeminism-in-context-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
