Pop-feminism is characterised by its engagement with popular culture and consumerism; its preoccupation with sexuality and\u003cbr\u003etransgression in relation to female agency; and its thematisation of intergenerational feminist discord, portrayed either as a damaging discursive construct or as a verifiable phenomenon requiring remediation. Central to this volume is the question of theorising the female subject in a postfeminist\u003cbr\u003eneoliberal climate and the role played by genre and narrative in the articulation of contemporary pop-feminist politics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe heightened visibility of mainstream feminist discourse and feminist activism in recent years--especially in North America, Britain, and Germany--means that the time is ripe for a coherent comparative scholarly study of pop-feminism as a transnational phenomenon. This volume provides such an\u003cbr\u003eaccount of pop-feminism in a manner which takes into account the varied and complex narrative strategies employed in the telling of pop-feminist stories across multiple genres and platforms, including pop-literary fiction, the popular 'guide' to feminism, film, music, and the digital. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emily Spiers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198820871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmily Spiers, \u003cem\u003eLecturer in Creative Futures, Institute for Social Futures \u0026amp; Department of Languages and Cultures, Lancaster University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEmily Spiers is the holder of a prestigious Anniversary Lectureship at Lancaster University.
