Gender and Media

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Praise for the previous edition:

"Gender is the most confoundingly difficult thematic of our times. How can we enjoy all kinds of gendered media content (often not even intended for our personal 'gender') and know that we are being disciplined at the very same time? Krijnen and Van Bauwel manage to do justice to both aspects and take into account the vastly changed media landscape of earlier gender and media studies. A joy to read and a wake-up call at the very same time for both dyed-in-the-wool media researchers and for those wanting an introduction to this field. Gender and Media: Representing, Producing, Consuming comes highly recommended!"

Joke Hermes, Professor of Practice Based Research in Media, Culture and Citizenship, Inholland University

"This is one of those rare things, a book about gender and media which provides an intelligent critique of the main debates about this tricky relationship and does so in a student-friendly way, exploring the ways in which gender intervenes in processes of production, representation and consumption."

Karen Ross, Professor of Media, Northumbria University

"Gender and Media: Representing, Producing, Consuming by Tonny Krijnen and Sofie Van Bauwel offers valuable insights on the interactions and relationships between media and gender in this rapidly transforming media environment. The book offers a mix of popular and academic debates on media messages, producers and audiences from a gender perspective ... I think this book is a perfect tool to use for educational purposes. It serves as a good reference for students or scholars who are taking their first steps into gender and media research. I particularly enjoy the author's efforts to stimulate critical thinking of their readers by allowing the formation of their own opinions on the presented topics."
