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.
In Performative Memoir: Moving between Worlds, Theresa Carilli and
Adrienne Viramontes construct a new genre of writing, performative
memoir. Drawing on scholarship in performance studies and
autoethnography, the authors outline a methodology for studying
autoethnography, performance, and memoir in a new creative process.
Carilli and Viramontes then demonstrate the process by creating
their own performative memoirs, titled "Loving Crazy" and "Mexican
Love," and perform a close reading of each memoir to show how these
theories can be applied to our own personal experiences and trauma.
Scholars of performance studies, communication, media studies,
cultural studies, and trauma studies 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.
Challenging Images of Women and the Media: Reinventing Women's
Lives, edited by Theresa Carilli and Jane Campbell, collects
fifteen articles addressing the status of women through an
examination of depictions of women in the media. This in-depth
study shows how mixed messages from the media muddle attempts at
breaking the "glass screen," causing women to constantly question
their role in global culture. With cake ads followed by diet
commercials, the media's depiction of women is both confusing and
contradictory. While more and more women have begun to contribute
to the media as respected anchors, talk show hosts, and
commentators, these portrayals are often counteracted by music
videos and reality television shows such as Jersey Shore. This
collection seeks to analyze these depictions and their effects on
women and culture. The contributors to this anthology hail from
such diverse locations as Japan, Australia, Pakistan, India, China,
Bulgaria, and the United States. With this global focus,
Challenging Images of Women in the Media scrutinizes issues of
race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality through a study of gendered
media portrayals. By challenging the status quo of media images,
the contributors to this essential volume invite a dialogue about
women's lives.

In Scripting Identity: Writing Cultural Experience, Theresa Carilli
explores how understanding one's identity can assist in the process
of writing a performative script. After a brief review of how the
Performance Studies discipline interprets the act of performative
writing, Carilli shares her own methodology for creating
performative texts. By introducing the concept of the primary
narrative-the story that is at the core of one's identity-the study
demonstrates how several of her students at a working-class
university campus (surrounded and influenced by a steel mill
culture) exemplify how the primary narrative operates in their
narrative creations. With the proposed methodology and scripts as
examples, Carilli builds dialogue about new ways to study the
communication process.
Women and the Media: Diverse Perspectives is an innovative
collection of 19 descriptive and empirical articles examining media
depictions and highlighting significant contributions. This
anthology has a cultural focus and addresses issues of race,
ethnicity, class, and sexuality. With this book, the editors
initiate a global dialogue about women and the media, broaden an
insular American perspective, and contribute to a growing body of
scholarship.
