Women and popular culture in Canada
Laine Zisman Newman (Editor)
"The first book of its kind, this volume explores women and non-binary people in popular culture in Canada, with a focus on intersectional analysis of settler colonialism, race, white privilege, ability, and queer representations and experiences in diverse media. The chapters include discussions of film, television, videogames, music, and performance, as well as political events, journalism, social media, fandom, and activism. Throughout this collection, readers are encouraged to think carefully about the role women play in the cultural landscape in Canada as active viewers, creators, and participants. The chapters in this volume critically explore how the media of our popular culture operate in relation to nation, identity, and power in order to understand how they can simultaneously uphold and challenge systemic inequities in this country. Covering a wide range of topics from historical perspectives to recent events, television series, and technologies, this collection acts as an introduction, an archive, and a continuing commitment to lifting the voices and stories of women in popular culture in Canada."-- Provided by publisher
