Description of  Mediated Girlhoods: New Explorations of Girls' Media Culture, Volume 2 (Mediated Youth)

Mediated Girlhoods, Volume 2 is an anthology devoted to scholarship on girls media culture. Taking a cultural studies approach, it includes studies of girls media representations, girls media consumption, and girls media production. In an attempt to push research on girls media culture in new directions, it responds to criticisms of previous research in this field by including studies of girls who are not white, middle-class, heterosexual, cisgender, or Western. Approaching girlhood, media, and methodology broadly, includes studies of such previously unexplored topics as girls mimetic communication via Tumblr, the girlyboy in independent Filipino cinema, Qatari girls film production, trans girlhood in advertising, Canadian girls feminist activism, and the new girl subject imagined in Disneys (2015).
