Male and Female Violence in Popular Media brings into focus the
apparently symmetrical phenomena of men's violence against women
and women's violence against men, explaining the profound
differences in their actual features as well as in their
representations, which over the last few years have been
proliferating in a vast array of global media contents. Elisa Giomi
and Sveva Magaraggia consider popular media including crime TV
series such as The Killing (Denmark, 2007- 2012), The Fall (UK,
2013-2016) and True Detective (USA, 2015), factual entertainment
such as Who the (bleep) Did I Marry? (Investigation Discovery,
2010-2015), and Italian pop music in order to examine popular
culture's depictions of men and women in their opposite, yet
complementary, roles of perpetrators and victims. They reveal how
TV shows, pop-songs, news and commercials that populate global
audiences' daily life fuel false beliefs about love and sexuality
that either legitimate or stigmatise violence depending on the
perpetrators and victims' gender.
Feminist Perspectives on Teaching Masculinities looks at teaching
non-hegemonic forms of masculinities and highlights their
diversity. The collection foregrounds and discusses concepts which
are described and gathered as positive, caring, and inclusive
masculinities, thus offering a timely and much-needed counterpoint
to discussions of so-called toxic masculinity. The volume presents
a wide range of theoretical reflections, case studies, and teaching
resources for lecturers in higher education and practitioners in
the fields of gender studies, pedagogy, and education. Its
heterogeneity is based on an interdisciplinary approach,
methodological variety, cross-cultural spectrum, and empirical
richness, reflected in various contributions from Europe, Africa,
US, and Asia. The international scope of the book and its
transnational perspective is valuable in broadening perspectives on
teaching masculinities. The presentation and discussion of national
and local programs and campaigns promoting teaching practices on
masculinities and gender provide further valuable insights into
learning beyond stereotypes and realizing new concepts of
masculinities. By presenting alternative performances of
masculinities and fostering masculinities studies which are
oriented towards gender equality and/or going beyond gender norms,
Feminist Perspectives on Teaching Masculinities offers a strong
response to the backlashes against feminism and gender studies from
rising nationalism coupled with hegemonic masculinities.
