Taking as its starting point the 'problem' of how the family has
been mediated in popular film, television, literature and social
policy over the last 50 years, Mediating the Family: Gender,
Culture and Representation explores the ways in which struggles
over sexuality, identity, gender and power have informed the
conceptualisation and representation of the family as an
institution and as a site of discursive complexity. Mediating the
Family: Gender, Culture and Representation 'unpacks the family',
looking in detail at the different generational and identificatory
components: motherhood, fatherhood, adolescence and childhood.
Using theoretical and critical frameworks from cultural studies,
sociology, textual analysis and cultural history, and drawing on
original research, case studies and critical analysis from a range
of sources from around the world, the book examines the
relationship between the intersecting discourses of youth;
childhood innocence; post-war companionate marriage; 'bad'
families; and entrepreneurial femininity in the 1980s in order to
interrogate the representation - and - reinvention of the family.
Mediating the Family: Gender, Culture and Representation is an
important intervention in debates about family relationships and
will be essential reading for scholars and students of cultural,
film and media studies, sociology and cultural history.
