Intersectional Media: Representations of Marginalized Identities
analyzes media depictions of a variety of intersecting identities.
Through a study examining how components of identity such as race,
class, ethnicity, age, ability, class, and sexuality mesh and form
a unique worldview, contributors to this collection frame their
understanding of media intersectionality as complex and
multi-layered studies of identity. Rather than focusing on any one
component of marginalized identity, this book broadens the scope of
inquiry and encourages audiences to recognize the complexity of
media analysis when a combination of marginalized identities is
depicted. Contributors demonstrate their understanding of how
different components of identity combine and create new, original
components of identity, paving the way for new studies of both
media and identity. Scholars of media studies, identity studies,
cultural studies, minority studies, gender studies, race studies,
and sociology will find this book particularly useful.
Queer Media Images: LGBT Perspectives presents fifteen chapters
that address how the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered
communities are depicted in the media. This collection focuses on
how the LGBT community has been silenced or given voice through the
media. Through a study of queer media images, this book scrutinizes
LGBT media representations and how these representations contribute
to a dialogue about civil rights for this marginalized community.
While the communication discipline has been open to the LGBT
community, there has been an absence of published research and a
marginalizing or tokenizing of the queer voice. Through a study of
media representations, this unique collection provides a snapshot
into the issues surrounding LGBT identity during a time when the
Defense of Marriage Act is called into question and explores what
it means to study images through a queer lens.
