This examines the role of popular culture in the construction of gendered identities in contemporary society drawing on a range of popular cultural forms to illustrate how femininity and masculinity are produced, represented and consumed. There are three sections: 1) Production, gender and popular culture: An investigation of who produces popular culture, why gendered patterns occur, and how they impact on content; 2). Representation, gender and popular culture: An examination of how men and women are represented in contemporary popular culture, and how notions of (in)appropriate femininity and masculinity are constructed; 3) Consumption, gender and popular culture: An exploration of who consumes what in popular culture, how gendered consumption relates to space, and what the effects of consuming representations of gender are.
