Tranchese demonstrates which myths about rape have persisted, as well as highlighting how they have adapted to the digital news environment. Her analysis is clear and persuasive and provides activists with new tools and evidence to push for change. This is feminist media studies at its best. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Karen Boyle, Author #MeToo, Weinstein and Feminism, University of Strathclyde This book is essential reading for anyone who really wants to understand how the myths and stereotypes around rape are moulded and sustained by the British media, distracting from the profound structural changes required to dismantle misogyny and deliver real justice for women, too often denied by the courts. Yvonne Roberts, journalist and campaigner This is the first longitudinal study of the language used by the British press to talk about rape. Through a diachronic analysis informed by corpus linguistics and feminist theory, Tranchese examines how rape discourse has (or has not) changed over the past decade. With its detailed investigation of media representations, the book explores how age-old myths about sexual violence re-emerge in different forms within news narratives. Against the backdrop of twelve years of newspaper coverage of rape, including many high-profile cases, this study also traces the rise of celebrity culture, the emergence of #metoo, and the development of the backlash against it. The author places these historical events and recent trends within broader debates on feminism and the role played by (social) media in shaping contemporary rape discourse. This book provides a much-needed linguistic analysis which will be of particular interest to scholars and students of feminist studies, language and gender, corpus-assisted discourse studies, and gendered crime. Alessia Tranchese is Senior Lecturer in Communication and Applied Linguistics at the University of Portsmouth, UK. Her research interests include the representation of violence against women in the media, online misogyny, and corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis. . 001462073 588__ $$aDescription based upon online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed April 24th, 2023). 001462073 650_0 $$aRape in mass media. 001462073 650_0 $$aWomen in mass media. 001462073 650_0 $$aVictims of crimes in mass media. 001462073 650_0 $$aViolence in mass media. 001462073 650_0 $$aRape$$xPress coverage$$zGreat Britain. 001462073 650_0 $$aWomen$$xPress coverage$$zGreat Britain. 001462073 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001462073 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTRANCHESE, ALESSIA.$$tFROM FRITZL TO #METOO.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2022$$z3031093526$$w(OCoLC)1322365521 001462073 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in language, gender and sexuality. 001462073 852__ $$bebk 001462073 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-09353-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001462073 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1462073$$pGLOBAL_SET 001462073 980__ $$aBIB 001462073 980__ $$aEBOOK 001462073 982__ $$aEbook 001462073 983__ $$aOnline 001462073 994__ $$a92$$bISE
