This book provides a contemporary review of the social practices
and representations of flirting. In the wake of #MeToo, flirting
has become entangled with stories of harassment and abuse that have
generated both outrage and confusion. Nevertheless, this book
argues that negotiating intimacy has always been an ambiguous
social practice that can be risky and fraught, and examines how the
presiding perception of flirting is constructed in contemporary
cultural media. The book interrogates the relation between flirting
and scandal, the kinds of scripts available in popular culture, and
relations to feminism and other current social theories around
gender and sexuality. It asks the questions; how can desire be
declared? How can playfulness be understood? And what kind of
language is available to speak about these complexities? Drawing
from a range of media forms such as public scandal, reality
television, and teen film, Flirting in the Era of #MeToo argues
that contemporary flirting is both provocative and conservative in
its negotiation of an assemblage of shifting values, and considers
possibilities for social innovation and change in light of these
competing tensions.
