This is a concise and accessible introduction into the concept of
objectification, one of the most frequently recurring terms in both
academic and media debates on the gendered politics of contemporary
culture, and core to critiquing the social positions of sex and
sexism. Objectification is an issue of media representation and
everyday experiences alike. Central to theories of film
spectatorship, beauty fashion and sex, objectification is connected
to the harassment and discrimination of women, to the sexualization
of culture and the pressing presence of body norms within media.
This concise guidebook traces the history of the term's emergence
and its use in a variety of contexts such as debates about
sexualization and the male gaze, and its mobilization in connection
with the body, selfies and pornography, as well as in feminist
activism. It will be an essential introduction for undergraduate
and postgraduate students in Gender Studies, Media Studies,
Sociology, Cultural Studies or Visual Arts.
