Overloaded looks at "laddishness" and the cult of the "girlie" in film, TV, advertising, music, politics, literature and society. It asks what the current cultural climate means for women, men, and the way we relate to each other. Imelda Whelehan argues that we have entered an age of retro-sexism where media images of men in crisis and neurotic single women abound, and where any criticism of such images is greeted with a howl of postmodern ironic laughter. But what if the joke is on feminism, and who, in the end, has the last laugh? sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This volume examines the phenomenon of laddishness and the cult of the girlie in film, TV, advertising, music, politics, literature and society. It interprets these trends as a nostalgic longing for a pre-feminist society which, through the medium of comedy and irony, has been manipulated by popular media as a liberation from political correctness. Contrasting the culture icons of the 1990s with the 1970s tough chicks and the 1980s New Man and Have-It-All Woman, the book aims to show how the rhetoric of laddism emerged and how it has infused so many aspects of our cultural identity.
