商品簡介
Offering a variety of perspectives on women consumers, this anthology hones in on popular media's focus on women, issues and themes associated with product purchase, product placement and promotion, and commodification. Grounded in feminism, the contributors mostly British academics come from cultural and media studies, design history, and sociolinguistics. Topics include design as seen on television, feminist advertising, power dressing, greeting cards and the commodification of personal relationships, consumer citizenship, adolescent girls and their magazines, and "sanitary napkins" in visual and material culture. The following quote introduces the collection: "As a single parent I'd rather have my dishwasher now than some dream of a socialist revolution in the future." Distributed by Continuum. Annotation c.
