Fashion and Masculinities in Popular Culture (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Popular culture in the latter half of the twentieth century precipitated a change in style and body image. Postwar film, television, radio shows, pulp fiction and comics placed heroic types firmly within public consciousness. This book concentrates on the evolution of these types from the postwar era and their relationship to present-day fashion.
