Abstract

The present anthology impressively shows that pop-cultural phenomena such as TV series are perfectly suitable for analyzing hegemonic gender relations. The mainly empirical studies explore the room for negotiation within which resistant practices could lead to a change of the gender regimes. However, the studies frequently detect a reinforcement instead of a questioning of the circumstances. Yet most articles miss the appropriate theoretical penetration necessary for a better understanding of this phenomenon. This book, which is very much worth reading, portrays such diverse cultural phenomena that it definitely offers something completely unknown for each reader and thus provides all people working in cultural studies with new insights.
