The definitions of fatherhood have shifted in the twenty-first
century as paternal subjectivities, conflicts, and desires have
registered in new ways in the contemporary family. This collection
investigates these sites of change through various lenses from
popular culture - film, television, blogs, best-selling fiction and
non-fiction, stand-up comedy routines, advertisements, newspaper
articles, parenting guide-books, and video games. Treating
constructions of the father at the nexus of patriarchy, gender, and
(post)feminist philosophy, contributors analyze how fatherhood is
defined in relation to masculinity and femininity, and the shifting
structures of the heteronormative nuclear family. Perceptions of
the father as the traditional breadwinner and authoritarian as
compared to a more engaged and involved nurturer are considered via
representations of fathers from the US, Canada, Britain, Australia,
South Africa, and Sweden.
