WINNER! NCA Diane Hope Book of the Year Award. Dangerous. Sexy.
All-American-or rather All-World-Girl. Pin Up! The Subculture is
the first book to explore the contemporary international subculture
of pin up, women (and men) who embrace vintage style, but not
vintage values. Award-winning filmmaker and author Kathleen M. Ryan
spent more than five years in the subculture. It's a world of cat
eye makeup, carefully constructed hairstyles, and retro-inspired
fashions. But it's also a world that embraces the ideals of
feminism. Beauty, according to the pin up, is found not in body
type or skin color, but in the confidence and sexual agency of the
individual. Pin ups see their subculture as a way to exert
empowerment and control of their own sexual and social
identities-something that is part of the pin up's historical
legacy. This lavishly illustrated book includes interviews with
more than fifty international pin ups and helps readers to
understand how they use social media and personal interactions to
navigate thorny issues such as racism, sexism, homophobia, sizeism,
and other difficult topics. Ryan demonstrates how even within
subcultures, identity is far from homogeneous. Pin ups use the
safety of their shared subcultural values to advocate for social
and political change. A fascinating combination of cultural
history, media studies, and oral history, Pin Up! The Subculture is
the story about how a subculture is subverting and reviving an
historic aesthetic for the twenty-first century.
Sitting prominently at the hearth of our homes, television serves
as a voice of our modern time. Given our media-saturated society
and television's prominent voice and place in the home, it is
likely we learn about our society and selves through these stories.
These narratives are not simply entertainment, but powerful
socializing agents that shape and reflect the world and our role in
it. Television and the Self: Knowledge, Identity, and Media
Representation brings together a diverse group of scholars to
investigate the role television plays in shaping our understanding
of self and family. This edited collection's rich and diverse
research demonstrates how television plays an important role in
negotiating self, and goes far beyond the treacly "very special"
episodes found in family sit-coms in the 1980s. Instead, the
authors show how television reflects our reality and helps us to
sort out what it means to be a twenty-first-century man or woman.

Friends, Lovers, Co-Workers, and Community analyzes how television
narratives form the first decade of the twenty-first century are
powerful socializing agents which both define and limit the types
of acceptable interpersonal relationships between co-workers,
friends, romantic partners, family members, communities, and
nations. This book is written by a diverse group of scholars who
used a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches to
interrogate the ways through which television molds our vision of
ourselves as individuals, ourselves as in relationships with
others, and ourselves as a part of the world. This book will appeal
to scholars of communication studies, cultural studies, media
studies, and popular culture studies.
Over the last half of the twentieth century, television has become
the predominant medium through which the public accesses
information about the world. Through the news, situation comedies,
police dramas, and commercials, we learn about the world around us,
and our role within it. These genres, narratives, and cultural
forms are not simply entertainment, but powerful socializing agents
that show the world as we might never see it in real life. How
Television Shapes Our Worldview brings together a diverse set of
scholars, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks to interrogate
the ways through which television molds our vision of the outside
world. The essays include advertising and public relations
analyses, audience interviews, and case studies that touch on
genres ranging from science fiction in the 1970s to current
"reality" television. Television truly provides a powerful
influence over how we learn about the world around us and
understand its social processes.
