Aims and scope: Popular culture is at the heart of democratic citizenship. It serves as an engine driving technology, innovation, and information, as well as a methodological lens employed by the many fields that examine culture, often from an interdisciplinary perspective. Managed by The Midwest Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association (MPCA/ACA), The Popular Culture Studies Journal is an academic, refereed journal for scholars, academics, and students from the many disciplines that study America and American culture. The journal serves its membership and scholars globally who recognize and support its mission based on expanding the way we view popular culture as a fundamental component within the contemporary world. Topics covered: Based on analysis of the proceedings of the Midwest PCA/ACA and the national organization reveals that most popular culture scholars are interested in American-based: • Film • Music • Television • Sports • Celebrity Culture • Technology • Literature • Comics/Cartoons/Graphic Novels However, many scholars approach these topics from an interdisciplinary perspective, which adds significant value over single-issue or more focused/specialized journals.

    A Critical Study of Transsexual Transition in a Familial Context

    1 Straddling the scalpel of identity: a critical study of transsexual transition in a familial context Claire Elizabeth Jenkins Doctor of Philosophy Sociological Studies December 2012 2 Acknowledgements Many have helped me. Firstly I would like to thank my immediate family, my ex-wife and my four children, for sharing in my transition which was the genesis of this research. I very much appreciate the invaluable help given by Dr Emily Gray in formulating my original research proposal. Perlin Dobson and David Jackson, my dear friends, have consistently supported me through transition to submission. David read many of my drafts and gave me critical feedback. Perlin gave emotional support when times were difficult. I am very appreciative of the invaluable advice and support given by Kevin Mahoney of Sheffield University Careers Service. These friends together with Nirmal Fernando, David Jones, Professor Stephen Whittle, Dr Roshan das Nair, Jayne Tulip and Imogen Hale were especially helpful when I experienced a major setback. They helped me to re-continue afterwards. I would also like to more formally thank my supervisors, Dr Victoria Robinson, Dr Lorna Warren and Professor Jenny Hockey, who taught me much about sociological writing and thought and who gave extensive critical feedback. Dr Warren has especially helped me regain academic confidence during 2012. I am also grateful for the informed critiques received from Professor Ruth McDonald, Professor Brendan Gough and David Miers. I am especially grateful to Brenda Stephenson and Dawn Montiel for the proof reading early drafts. I would also like to thank Duncan Macmillan House Staff Library and Nottingham Trent University Library Staff for supporting me locally through book acquisition, loans and for obtaining journal articles.

    Outline for SASSI: Signs in International Media: The Image of the Journalist in Anime Rey-Lynn Little Graduate Student of Journalism B.A. Sociology and B. A. Communication Studies, Northeastern State University, 2016 University of Colorado Boulder 16 March 2020 I: Introduction A. What is anime? Well, in short it is animation--a cinematic art form. In Japan, manga and anime are a basic transmission of culture through media spanning the past three generations. Anime is either an original or more often than not adapted from a popular manga, which can be more easily understood as comic books or graphic novels. B. This medium will likely be seen by many viewers of younger generations as audiences become increasingly international and transglobal. Because of this, it feels important to examine the symbolic impact the mediated culture could have on individual and social lives. C. This presentation positions anime as relevant to current personal, historical, cultural, and political perspectives towards discerning the view of the journalist in popular culture, given the growing trend of anime media within the United States. II. Research Question-How can popular culture be used to represent journalists and their subjects, and why does this matter? A. Research on the topic of anime has often been focused on education and teaching methods but is lacking in other areas, such as journalism. B. The ultimate purpose of this research is to explore mediated messages, visual and textual, within anime through a journalistic lens. C. Matthews relates that there exists a gap in the literature concerning contemporary news media coverage of Japan, but there is a “sizeable body of recent work” considering the “representations of Japan through popular culture, including mass media products such as film and television” (2019, p.

    Life Narrative and Networked Intimacy in Nina Freeman’S Cibele

    THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIFE WRITING VOLUME VIII(2019)DM33– DM55 ‘The game becomes the mediator of all your relationships’: Life Narrative and Networked Intimacy in Nina Freeman’s Cibele Rob Gallagher King’s College London ABSTRACT Nina Freeman’s 2015 videogame Cibele recounts its creator’s experience of fall- ing in love with a fellow player of an online game. An interactive autobiogra- phy about a young woman sharing her life online, Cibele explores the terms on which new media enable users to narrate their experiences, represent them- selves and forge identities. This article locates the game in relation to recent developments in life writing and independent game design, asking what digital technologies offer autobiographers as medium and as subject matter. It also frames Cibele as an attempt to challenge two dominant discourses about on- line culture: offering a counterpoint to narratives stressing the dangers facing young women who seek intimacy on the internet, Cibele also questions framings of networked intimacy as a necessarily deficient substitute for “the real thing.” Its oblique approach, however, in tandem with its commitment to witnessing the ambivalences and incoherencies of digital culture, have, I argue, led to these points being missed or misinterpreted by players, reflecting a longstand- ing tendency to dismiss and devalue women’s life writing. Keywords: videogames, postfeminism, intimacy, online culture, gender, autobiography INTRODUCTION Set in 2009 and released in 2015, Nina Freeman’s Cibele portrays a young North American woman grappling with the complications of networked European Journal of Life Writing, Vol VIII, DM33–DM55 2019. doi: 10.21827/ejlw.8.35549 34 Rob Gallagher self-presentation, friendship and romance.

  • Disordered Eating and Choice in Postfeminist Spaces

    Disordered Eating and Choice in Postfeminist Spaces

    Outskirts Vol. 33, 2015, 1-17 Disordered eating and choice in postfeminist spaces Connie Musolino, Megan Warin, Tracey Wade, Peter Gilchrist This paper explores the rise of disordered eating in a postfeminist world. Based on findings from an Australian Research Council grant that investigated why women with disordered eating were reluctant to engage with treatment services, we demonstrate how women embody postfeminist positions of choice and responsibility in their eating and body practices. Through applying Rosalind Gill’s (2007) concept of postfeminist sensibility to ethnographic accounts of women living with disordered eating, we argue that postfeminism, neoliberalism and healthism represent a constellation of contemporary forces which have unwittingly created an environment for disordered eating to flourish. Within the setting of lifestyle choice, postfeminist sensibilities support and rationalise women’s endeavours in their disordered eating practices. The pervasiveness of neoliberal ideas in a postfeminist world highlights that the rhetoric of choice as empowering disguises an increasing push for individual responsibility, particularly in the areas of health and fitness. Such ideas are reinforced in the self-monitoring and self-disciplining practices of participants who explain their practices as lifestyle choices. Investigating the ways in which women describe their disordered eating practices within a postfeminism space offers new and critical insights into why resistance to help seeking is common. Introduction This paper explores the rise of eating disorders in a postfeminist world. The prevalence of eating disorders in the general Australian population is increasing (The Butterfly Foundation, 2012; NEDC, 2012) and it is estimated that 90% of people with anorexia and bulimia in Australia are female (The Butterfly Foundation, 2012, p.

    Introduction

    Introduction ANDREA O’REILLY Adrienne Rich opened Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institu- tion with the observation, “We know more about the air we breath, the seas we travel, than about the nature and meaning of motherhood” (11). In the twenty-eight plus years since the publication of Of Woman Born, the topic of motherhood has emerged as a central issue in feminist scholarship. “American feminism,” as Lauri Umansky observes in Motherhood Reconceived, “has sub- jected the institution of motherhood and the practice of mothering to their most complex, nuanced and multifocused analysis” (2). While the increasing centrality of motherhood in feminist scholarship has been studied by Uman- sky among others, what has been less recognized is how this new field of fem- inist inquiry has developed in reference to one theoretical work, namely Rich’s Of Woman Born, recognized as the first and arguably still the best feminist book on mothering and motherhood. Rich’s book—a wide ranging, far reach- ing meditation on the meaning and experience of motherhood that draws from the disciplines of anthropology, feminist theory, psychology, literature, as well as narratives of Rich’s personal reflections on her experiences of mother- ing—has had a broad and enduring impact on feminist thought on mother- hood. Described by Penelope Dixon, in her 1991 annotated bibliography on mothers and mothering, as “one of the major feminist studies on mothering,” Of Woman Born has indeed influenced the way a whole generation of scholars thinks about motherhood (11). The purpose of this volume is to examine how Rich’s ovarian work has informed and influenced the way feminist scholarship “thinks and talks” motherhood in disciplines as diverse as Literature, Women’s Studies, Law, Sociology, Anthropology, Creative Writing, and Critical Theory.
