This timely, necessary collection of essays provides feminist
analyses of a recession-era media culture characterized by the
reemergence and refashioning of familiar gender tropes, including
crisis masculinity, coping women, and postfeminist self-renewal.
Interpreting media forms as diverse as reality television,
financial journalism, novels, lifestyle blogs, popular cinema, and
advertising, the contributors reveal gendered narratives that recur
across media forms too often considered in isolation from one
another. They also show how, with a few notable exceptions,
recession-era popular culture promotes affective normalcy and
transformative individual enterprise under duress while avoiding
meaningful critique of the privileged white male or the destructive
aspects of Western capitalism. By acknowledging the contradictions
between political rhetoric and popular culture, and between diverse
screen fantasies and lived realities, Gendering the Recession helps
to make sense of our postboom cultural moment. Contributors. Sarah
Banet-Weiser, Hamilton Carroll, Hannah Hamad, Aniko Imre, Suzanne
Leonard, Isabel Molina-Guzman, Sinead Molony, Elizabeth Nathanson,
Diane Negra, Tim Snelson, Yvonne Tasker, Pamela Thoma
