Interrogating Postfeminism: Gender and the Politics of Popular Culture (Console-ing Passions)
McRobbie trenchantly argues that it is precisely on these grounds that invidious forms of gender -re-stabilisation are able to be re-established. Consumer culture, she argues, encroaches on the terrain of so called female freedom, appears supportive of female success only to tie women into new post-feminist neurotic dependencies.
These nine essays span a wide range of topics, including
- the UK government's 'new sexual contract' to young women,
- popular TV makeover programmes,
- feminist theories of backlash and the 'undoing' of sexual politics,
- feminism in a global frame
- the 'illegible rage' underlying contemporary femininities.
