Includes such contemporary issues as the rewriting of masculinity after the success of feminism, and the layers of meaning in semi-public and private talk of multiculturalism and ethnicity. Traces its topics across a variety of media forms and texts, including sports; detective fiction and police series; and children's television and games. Clearly and accessibly written for the student, scholar, and general reader. |
