Globalization, Gender, and Media tackles the emergence of "sexy
violence" imagery and the coalescence of the sexual and violent
meanings in contemporary global mainstream news, television, film,
and social media. Tuija Parikka analyzes how such imagery advances
particular interpretations of globalization, and the role of gender
in such projects. Cases range from serious news journalism and film
to social media spectacles, brought under the umbrellas of media
production, contents, and perception. These versatile cases
introduce issues revealing the limits of Western freedom discourse
in the social media; universalizing an idea of motherhood and
ethnicity in news production; time, home, and class in the
formation of global imbalances of power online and in reality TV;
instability of sex and gender in discourses of rape and porn;
politicizing majority-minority relations in the social media.
Globalization, Gender, and Media emphasizes the need to consider
the interconnectedness and material - discursive aspects of
globalization and the reality of gender in the media.
