The sexual politics of television culture is the territory covered
by this ground-breaking book - the first to demonstrate the ways in
which third wave feminist television studies approaches and
illuminates mainstream TV. Leading voices in third wave feminism
focus on innovative US television shows, including "The Sopranos,
Oz, Six Feet Under, The L Word" and the reality-TV show "The
Bachelor" to take a closer look at the contradictions and
reciprocities between feminism and television, engaging as they go
in theoretical and critical conversations about media culture,
third wave feminism, feminist spectatorship, the sex wars, and the
politics of visual pleasure.
The book offers an exuberant and accessible discussion of what
television has to offer today's feminist fan. It also sets a new
tone for future debate, turning away from a sober, near-pessimistic
trend in much feminist media studies to reconnect with the roots of
third wave feminism in riot girl culture, sex radical feminism, and
black feminism, tracing too the narratives provided by queer theory
in which pleasure has a less contested place.
