Drawing on the methodologies of cultural studies and feminist media studies, and built upon a series of case studies from newspapers, books, television programs, and blogs, it tracks the emergence of lifestyle's discursive formation and shows its relevance in contemporary media culture. It is, in the broadest sense, about the role played by the explosion of lifestyle media texts in changing conceptualizations of selfhood and domestic life."-- SN - 9781315464954 SN - 1315464950 T1 - Lifestyle media in American culture :gender, class, and the politics of ordinariness / TI - Lifestyle media in American culture :gender, class, and the politics of ordinariness / UR - https://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5259841 ER -
