Shopping Around

<p><strong><em>Shopping Around</em></strong> investigates the issues of contemporary popular narrative feminine pleasure and consumer culture viewing the permutations of the feminine subject as a textual construction evolved through everyday life. A wide spectrum of texts are examined exposing the fact that women read within a complex and conflicted cultural arena characterized by a significant intertextuality that multiply defines femininity. <strong><em>Shopping Around</em></strong> raises these issues in the context of everyday cultural practices such as applying make-up reading magazines watching television and working-out providing a unique introduction to postmodern feminist and cultural theory.</p>
