Blaming the media for reproducing and extolling unrealistic female
bodies has almost become a popular truism. Even medical opinion
notes that the media can influence young women to starve themselves
and therefore act as a possible causal factor of disordered eating.
Yet surprisingly, little work has addressed either the nature of
media representations of the body, or the ways in which audiences
interpret and use such images in our contemporary cultural context.
The Media and Body Image addresses this lack and: - Draws together
literature from sociology, gender studies and psychology - Brings
together new empirical work on both media representations and
audience responses - Offers a broad discussion of this topic in the
context of socio-cultural change, gender politics, and
self-identity.
