Claire Charles

Elite Girls' Schooling, Social Class and Sexualised Popular Culture

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores relationships between young femininity, sexuality and social class, in an international context characterised by much interest in young women's identities, including the possible effects of sexualised popular culture. A key objective is to explore how girls, who are understood to be middle class and privileged, make sense of the various messages about power and identity to which they are exposed, and how they utilise contemporary sexualised popular culture in the negotiation and articulation of classed femininities.
