Pop-Feminist Narratives

In <em>Pop-Feminist Narratives</em> Emily Spiers explores the recent phenomenon of 'pop-feminism' and pop-feminist writing across North America Britain and Germany. Pop-feminism is characterised by its engagement with popular culture and consumerism; its preoccupation with sexuality and<br>transgression in relation to female agency; and its thematisation of intergenerational feminist discord portrayed either as a damaging discursive construct or as a verifiable phenomenon requiring remediation. Central to this volume is the question of theorising the female subject in a postfeminist<br>neoliberal climate and the role played by genre and narrative in the articulation of contemporary pop-feminist politics. <p/>The heightened visibility of mainstream feminist discourse and feminist activism in recent years--especially in North America Britain and Germany--means that the time is ripe for a coherent comparative scholarly study of pop-feminism as a transnational phenomenon. This volume provides such an<br>account of pop-feminism in a manner which takes into account the varied and complex narrative strategies employed in the telling of pop-feminist stories across multiple genres and platforms including pop-literary fiction the popular 'guide' to feminism film music and the digital. <p/>
