E. Glapka

Reading Bridal Magazines from a Critical Discursive Perspective

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Offering a critique of contemporary wedding discourse, this book marries together analyses of media texts and their reception to propose a new approach to media discourse. The analysis richly illustrates how women are invited to embrace not only the stereotypical idea of bridal femininity but also a consumptive way of experiencing it.
