Germaine Greer, Celebrity Feminism and the Archive
Autor Anthea Tayloren Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 noi 2024
Across many decades in the limelight, and through multiple media forms, the provocative Greer has worked to shape audience understandings of gender, sexuality and feminism. Through deep engagement with archival material, heavily curated by Greer herself, Anthea Taylor offers a compelling reassessment of Greer’s celebrity feminist labour and its effects over time. Examining archived letters from fans, anti-fans, and those in-between, this innovative volume shows how and why readers and viewers have come to affectively invest – or disinvest – in this iconoclastic feminist.
Advancing debates about the social and political function of celebrity, Germaine Greer, Celebrity Feminism and the Archive is essential reading for scholars in Gender Studies, History, Archival Studies, and Media and Cultural Studies.
