Gender, Media and Modernity in the Asia-Pacific

This collection offers a range of cultural studies perspectives on the ways gender and modernity intersect in media produced in the Asia-Pacific region. It spans different ideas about modernity in the region, different approaches to cultural analysis, and different media forms: from Taiwanese lifestyle television to avant-garde Indian cinema, from the emergence of a Chinese youth culture in online social networks to the alienation of country girls as imagined by Australian soap opera, and from the fantastic politics of migrating bodies in Korean cinema to the masculine mimicry of fighting women in South-East Asian action movies. Together, these chapters explore the ways that media both records and helps produce images and experiences of modernity and the integral role gender plays in those processes.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Cultural Studies: Theorizing Politics, Politicizing Theory.

Catherine Driscoll is an Associate Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies at The University of Sydney, Australia. Her recent books include Modernist Cultural Studies (2009) and Teen Film: A Critical Introduction (2011).
