Male and Female Violence in Popular Media

0/5 ( ratings)

Male and Female Violence in Popular Media brings into focus the apparently symmetrical phenomena of men's violence against women and women's violence against men, explaining the profound differences in their actual features as well as in their representations, which over the last few years have been proliferating in a vast array of global media contents.

Elisa Giomi and Sveva Magaraggia consider popular media including crime TV series such as The Killing , The Fall and True Detective , factual entertainment such as Who the Did I Marry? , and Italian pop music in order to examine popular culture's depictions of men and women in their opposite, yet complementary, roles of perpetrators and victims. They reveal how TV shows, pop-songs, news and commercials that populate global audiences' daily life fuel false beliefs about love and sexuality that either legitimate or stigmatise violence depending on the perpetrators and victims' gender.
