Mediating Sex, Gender, and Sexuality in the GenZ Era (1) (Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies)

Synopsis

This volume explores how so-called digital natives of GenZ use media in the crafting of generational beliefs and representational practices around sex, gender, and sexuality.Through qualitative chapters of critical, ethnographic, discursive, and textual analysis, an international team of authors explore mass media representation; queerness and visibility among the generation; GenZ feminism on social media and reactions to it; how GenZ learns about sexuality through various media; and gender and media effects. While considering global implications, the authors analyze experiences and points of view from various contexts, including Chinese social media, Korean mass- and social-media, Indian movies, Sri Lankan image-based social media, Japanese movies, Turkey and mediated visibility, Norway and online/offline romantic relationships, a UK-based genderqueer gaming celebrity, and multiple topics and contexts within the United States.This accessible and varied volume will appeal to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers interested in social and mass media across a wide range of platforms and practices, digital culture, youth culture and human development, sex education, sex and gender studies, and communication and culture change.
